I got 80%. Missed the entry date on the T34/85 and never heard of that Bofors wahtchamacallit. Here's a bonus question....What's a little joe? Clue...it's on a tank

I could have sworn that the WESPE was built on a 38t chassis. Well 90% isn't all bad I guess. I guess I will just have to build a Hetzer so I know what one is. Another ploy to send me back to the hobby shop to spend some more precious gold. Oh well.

The Wespe was built on a PzKpfw II chassis anyway.... The 10.5 cm artillery version built on the 38t chassis was the Grille. The Marder III series was the German AT version of the 38t chassis.

80% for me. The only Folgore I know is the one that posts here. (LOL) Don't know the T80 either, must be post WWII. Fun little test.

I got 80, guessed wrong on the t80 and deployment of the t34/85... I used 1944 as my answer... development started much earlier, but according to a article on the Russian Battlefield
http://www.battlefield.ru/t34_85.html , ..."the first vehicles of this type managed to leave the workshops only at the beginning of January, 1944"... so the correct answer to # 8 would be 1944, and so I'll take my 90, if you please. This test was fun, and I, for one, would like to see more.

90%. I got question 8 wrong when I answered 1942 instead of 1943. What was I thinking?

Thats a good little quiz. It shows how much i dont know about modern armour....
I got 70% and i got the challenger calibre wrong, The T-80 crew number wrong, and i even got the question about when the T34 saw action first wrong...
Keep up the good work on the website... I like the Dukn Aussie rig.
