Saumur
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Looking at the different Sherman hulls, were the crew any safer in a cast hull like the M4A1 or the welded types? Or was it purely to do with ease of manufacture? Somehow, and without any deep knowledge of ballistics, the cast hull looks stronger.

- Massimo_Foti The chin arrived very late, not all ausf G have it Massimo A Massimo said, the chin was a fairly late modification and even when fielded the old style mantlet continued to be fitted from available stocks. _________________ Frustra Nate Vive Devincere

- Massimo_Foti None that I am aware of. Indeed I would love to see even some vintage pictures of them. P-O, can you help? Massimo the ultimate reference is "Chars français", I think : http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/index.php/liste-chronologique/de-1940-a-1945?task=view&id=76 _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

No chin? Like I said, I am no expert by any means on panzers, just going by what I read.

I am no expert on panzers, but is that a Ausf G chassis with an Ausf A turret?
