Title: 37 mm
Post by: Jochen on April 25, 2001, 07:40:00 AM

HS news said allies are fielding new 37 mm cannon soon. This preactically means that we will see it before alts HS frame.

What are the possibilities? I think version of M 16 carried 2 x 12.7 mm and 1 x 37 mm armament. Also LVT had version with 37 mm turret. Is there other possibilities?

Plus I heard rumour saying Ostwind might be perked very soon. This leaves space for not-so-effective AA platform between M-16 and Ostwind. Relatively softskinned halftrack with 37 mm cannon would fill this place nicely...

I wouldn't believe a word of those HS broadcasts, if I were you.

Espcially the German one.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The front 37mm of the PT?  It was originally scrounged from P-39's that had been scrapped.

The halftrack was the T-15a1 (iirc) and it had 1 x 37mm, 2 x .50 - pretty nice, but not sure how many were made.  I added it to Steel Panthers years ago, was great against ground troops and lt vehicles.

Cheers
