Identify this tank
Is the following tank an M3A1 like it says? Or is it an M5 like I think it is. The shape of the hull, in my opinion, makes it an M5.
 I use it as my avatar, and as I begun to look at it, I thought, that's an M5.

Re: Identify this tank
I'd say that it's an early M5.

Re: Identify this tank
Well, this time I have another unidentified tank. This one is a tank destroyer. I think it might be a Hetzer, but I don't know.

Re: Identify this tank
Das ist ein Panzerjäger 38(t).
Incorrectly known here as a Hetzer.

Re: Identify this tank
What do you meadn incorrectly identified as "Hetzer" I do believe that is what the Panzerjaeger 38t is called, is it not.

Re: Identify this tank
It's true! The Sd.Kfz.138/2 Panzerjäger 38(t) wasn't officially named Hetzer as that name was listed for the Entwicklung E-10 that was on paper.

Re: Identify this tank
Yeah, but the other one that is identified as a Panzerjaeger 38t has the same wheel. The mantlet is different, I'll give you that, but it could be early production vs later production.

Re: Identify this tank
fair enough if you look in last photo that was posted you will notice that the rear idler is concave with roughly 8 large holes that are recessed this signifies a later production version of the hetzer the rear idler in the 1 st photo is slighlty concave and has 12 smaller holes which identify this hetzer as a first production run some the first production run were given to the swedes
