- Rikard_HufschmiedIn my current quest to find out if the French 75mm DEFA and/or CN75-50 gun could be used when restoring a Panther tank (as they were more or less carbon copies of the KwK 42 L/70 gun) I stumbled over something very interesting that I actually didn't know and with my special interest in the Panther it's strange that I've overlooked it. I have to blame it on that my interest for French post war tank design has been marginal at best ...
The French didn't just copy/modify the gun, they were more than a little inspired by German tank design.
Well, I still need to find out if a French gun could subsitute for a KwK 42.
Cheers,
Rik
- mike_DuplessisWow - absolutely frickin' Wow! Best pictures of the AMX-50 I've ever seen. I did not know the 120mm gun vehicle had survived!
- Rikard_HufschmiedEarly AMX-50 rear deck, I could have mistaken it for a modified Panther ...
