Gyrene Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I was watching the History Channel's "Ice and Fire" Korean War documentary and in one of the scenes a tank that looked very much like a Pershing with a short barrelled gun rolled by (Too big to be a M24, there were troops in the scene) The gun was maybe 1/4 the lenght of the Pershing's 90mm gun with no muzzle brake. Any ideas of what it might have been? Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 105mm how.? [ June 18, 2002, 12:30 AM: Message edited by: JonS ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Gyrene, Probably an M45. A T26E2 with a 105mm howitzer. Since the M4 105mm howitzer was so light, the M45 was given a thicker gun mantlet to re-balance the turret (200mm!). A few served in Korea.

Gyrene Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Yup, that must have been it. I looked up some pics of M45's and it looks about right. Thanks! Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcm1947 Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 WOW! What a bad ass looking tank. Thanks for the picture. I assume we'll see it if there ever is a Korean game made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
