Q7 Road wheels on a 25 ponder where: 2 to the gun, 2 to the limber and 4 on the quad. (It was my pleasure to drive one of these vehicles around London in 1957.)
Your score is:
Q2 Yessal; but whats the main Gun?
Q6 Very good!
Q7 None, A gun does not have any wheels on it,as its a piece of Ordnance, Just the Carriage that has the wheels( Sorry Trick Question)
How are you getting on with Q1, Q3 & Q8 you should ask the Bombardier to help you on Q3 & Q8.
Not there yetsal; The German Army called them "Tommy Cookers" , The name for the M4 Sherman( it got the name 'Sherman' from the Brits) was called FireFly and it could take out the Tiger & Panther at 17,000 yds unlike the 76mm shell that just hit & when skywards.
