How come there isn't an armor TRivia Quiz like they have in the A/C forums?

Let's jump on the bandwagon! 

Here's an easy one to start: What was the M18 tank destroyer's official nickname?  Winner gets to ask the next question. 

Hellcat

How about in the case of a tie, we give the next question to He Who Has the Fewest Posts.  Unless we don't care to make it that formal.  Those A/C guys are all about formality, and zooming around at high speed looking cool, while we're stuck down here with the grunts. 

Your turn, Mr Specter.

T-54 + 1 = T-55?

The T55 had a larger V255 V12 water cooled diesel engine and also a new turret without the loader's cupola or the roff-top ventilator dome. It also mounted a infrared gunners searchlight above the main gun but this was also retrofitted to the T-54's.

 

 

My friend Roosterpolo has a completed T-55 on the shelf next to a King Tiger, both in 1/35th ... I was amazed at how much smaller the Russian medium tank is than the German heavy -- suppose I shouldn't be, given the classification difference, but it surprised me nonetheless!

I'll go with an easy one...

 

What was the size of the main gun of the T-62?

Hey there.. 

 I don't think "duckbill" was ever a name for the M10, it was a description of the late production turrent with the counterweight that looked like a ducks bill.  At least that is the only context that I have ever come across the word 'duckbill' in relation to the M10.
