Experimental
light tank developped to cross wide trenches like conventionnal British
Heavy Tanks but with a very less important weight. The strange shape
of this tank kept the trench crossing capacities of British models but
with a very less important firepower 'cause the sponsons suppression.
Crew took place in center armored compartment and the tank was armed
with a single machine-gun in turret. The engineers counted also much
on empty spaces of the structure to let pass a maximum of projectiles! |
