Name that WW2 Thing
« on: October 15, 2014, 10:09:21 AM »
While we have our airplane naming topic, I want to introduce a name that thing - either a piece of military hardware, ship, tank, or weapon from WWII.

Let me start off with something that will fool most but for the hardy historian zipperhead - an easy one.  If you guess correctly, you get to post the next guess.

Not sure what it is but I'm feeling the sudden urge to request it's inclusion into the game.

 if it isn't giving too much away, are those four 20mm's or .50cals?

20mm, but only one Skink ever saw combat and it never entered production due to lack of need.

It is a Skink, unless there is a Sherman to quad 20mm AA vehicle with a sealed turret conversion that I am unaware of.
