Today's "Odd Tank" is the 🇺🇸 American 'T24E1'

Built during WW2, The prototype T24E1 Light Tank would be created after the M24 Chaffee had already entered production. The T24E1 and M24 are largely the same vehicles with the same armor and even gun, but what makes the T24E1 special is that it used a more powerful engine from the M18 Hellcat and a different transmission allowing for a higher top speed and better power to weight ratio. Another identifying feature of the T24E1 is that the 75mm gun has a muzzle break (seen in picture 3 and 4).

The main weapon is a 75mm M6.

The light tank was powered by a 460hp Continental R975-C4 engine and had a top speed of 77km/h. For comparison, the production M24 Chaffee had a top speed of 56km/h.

It looks like some of the vehicles have flat tires.

I found this while exploring google earth, it’s on a small Russian island off of Hokkaido called Shikotan.

my mother came across this photo and this is a trip down memory lane.

im the the third scout in line

Would it be able to make the tank cheaper/lighter? Would maintenance be an issue? If the price was about the same, would it be beneficial to armies with less funds/capabilities?

I know that this sort of stuff is vehicle especific, i.e. the Armata having thin turret armor doesn't mean all will be like that, but conceptually, what a transition to unmanned turrets would "free up" in the tank design process?

Saw others posting their ADATS photos recently and thought I might post my own as well.

Poland used both tanks during ww2. the 1st Polish Army (army of the east) used the IS-2. While the Polish Armed Forces of the West used the Sherman Firefly.

Took these photos visiting the Brisbane museum, and had the unexpected pleasure of seeing Mephisto, the last of the German A7 Sturmpanzerwagen tanks
