Nothing scared the bejesus outta me like that w-wind during a jabo mission in Jane's Fighters.  Coming in on an attack run, set up my bomb solution and then a w-wind quickly comes into view.  Bang, bang...dead.

37mm in the ostie has become a real liability, would prefer the Quad 20mm....better balistics, and faster firing, though less hitting power per round...nice trade off.

and a german 222 which could do 50mph on road 25 offroad and carriered a 20mm gun and a MG34, would be an awsome armourd recon car. Which also would be good against low flying aircraft. a couple 20mm hits on a plane or light armourd vehical.

the Churchill


While an importaint vehicle for the UK no doubt - The Churchill being an "Infantry Tank" is going to be at a severe disadvantage against the Panzers and T-34's that can literally run rings around it and out shoot it. (The Churchill Mk in your pic above only has a 57mm gun I believe.)

For British armor you would be better off to go with vehicles like the

CROMWELL  75mm Main Gun

COMET  17pdr (77mm) Main Gun
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/7121/cometiu5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

At least they would have a chance in a fight. If not those - the FIREFLY VC, ACHILLIES Tank Destroyer or British SHERMAN.

The comet looks like a rip off of the tiger. When was it produced?

You only think that because the camoflage makes it difficult to see the "lines" of the tank.  They really don't look all that similar IMO -- and the armor was nothing like a Tiger's.  But it was an all-Brit platform for the excellent 17 lbr gun (the other more common chassis used were the US built Sherman (Firefly) and M-10 Tank Destroyer (Achilles)).

But to answer your question directly, IIRC it first saw action in December '44.

Top one is the Maus with a 128mm main gun & 75mm coax cannon. 2 prototypes made, one with a fake turret was captured by the Russians. The other broke down on the way to defend Berlin and was blown up by the Germans.

The bottom is the Elefant. It packed a 88mm/L71 (bigger & nastier than the standard Flak 88). 89 deployed to the Battle of Kursk, but almost half were out of service within 4 days. This was largely from mechanical failure.
