Formation of the Royal Armoured Corps began #OTD in 1939. This was a correct move after years of slumber, but the British had precious little time to catch up with the Germans in tank tactics and development. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
A bombing raid on Essen #OTD in 1943 dealt a major blow to Maus turret production, delaying the prototype by several months. Only one turret was ever completed, as heavy damaged to the assembly lines made mass production impractical. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Infantry Tank Mk.III (later called Valentine) was only accepted into service #OTD in 1939. Even though the General Staff didn't want it at first, the Valentine tank became one of the best British tanks of the Second World War. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Germans chose the 88 mm L/56 tank gun as the weapon for their next generation of heavy tanks #OTD in 1941. Even though this was a powerful weapon for its time, work to fit an even longer 88 mm L/71 gun began not too long after. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The experimental Tiger (P) with a Voith transmission was promising, but organizational challenges killed the project. #OTD in 1942 Nibelungenwerk reported that it did not have the capacity to upgrade existing hulls for a new variant of the transmission. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The T-12 was the first Soviet "maneuver" (medium) tank. Trials began #OTD in 1930, but ended in failure. The project was drastically revised to build the T-24 tank, but that too was cancelled. The BT tank was produced instead. #tanks #history
The Ordnance Committee approved work on a replacement for the Light Tank M5 #OTD in 1943. The project was indexed Light Tank T24. The result would be the M24 Chaffee, an incredibly successful vehicle with a long post-war career. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
#OTD in 1942 an order was given to reduce the thickness of the KV-1's armour to under 100 mm in order to deal with the tank's weight gain. This was only a half-measure and the lighter and faster KV-1S tank was put into production later that year. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
45 mm subcaliber shot was accepted into service #OTD in 1942. This powerful round could punch even through the armour of a Tiger tank, albeit at close range. #tanks #artillery #history #WW2 #WWII
#OTD in 1945 the 13ème Régiment de Dragons was put into action. The regiment was equipped with French-built tanks recaptured from the Germans. These tanks were no longer very useful in combat and this was more of a morale booster than anything else. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
Canada was expected to produce the Valentine tank, but #OTD in 1940 the order for 100 Valentines was cancelled in favour of building the Churchill instead. The order was reinstated after the British became desperately in need of tanks. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
Will be away for Easter for a few days. But I will leave you with this, it is meant to be a personal piece but also I guess some concept for a skin for the Tiger 1.

Really fence sitting on whether I render the tank, or make it into an ambush scene.
The Pz.Kpfw.B2 (Flamm) tank with a flamethrower designed by Wegmann in the hull was approved #OTD in 1941. Defects in the design led to a new flamethrower being designed by Köbe a month later. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The Germans were dissatisfied with their first mass produced tank. Its replacement was codenamed La.S.100 (Landwirtschaftliche Schlepper 100, agricultural tractor 100 hp engine) in 1934. #OTD in 1936 it received the name we know it by today: Pz.Kpfw.II. #tanks #history
#OTD in 1943 the name of the U-35 was changed to the more familiar name SU-122. The SU-122 was the first SPG on the T-34 chassis with a front fighting compartment, a layout that would become classic for Soviet medium SPGs. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
#OTD in 1943 the Red Army made an inquiry about potentially ordering Centaur tanks. Any interest in the vehicles disappeared when they found out the tank used the Liberty engine that was found to be completely unacceptable back on the BT series of tanks #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1942 British and American representatives met to nail down the specifics of the assault tank program. Both ended up developing a heavy tank using existing components where possible. Neither the T14 nor the Excelsior were put into service. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The first 7,62 cm Pak 36(R) auf Fgst. Pz.Kpfw.II(F) (Sfl.) prototype was ready #OTD in 1942. This vehicle looked as awkward as it was called, combining the chassis of the failed Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.D tank and captured Soviet guns. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
Extensive penetration trials against two T-34 tanks began at the Mariupol factory #OTD in 1941. The trials found that the tank was still vulnerable to the 45 mm anti-tank gun at close range. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
The T-70 tank was accepted into service #OTD in 1942. It featured a more powerful gun, better protection, and a more powerful engine than its predecessor. Unlike the T-60, these tanks were also fitted with a radio. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Hezbollah is repelling the Zionist invader and causing massive casualties. There is also a hit to the Israeli illusion that they are invincible! They are not!
To resist is to exist!
