The following Churchill Mk III and Mk IV were fitted with a serviceable 57mm main gun while the Mk VI and Mk VII were given more appropriate armament in the 75mm main gun. When fired at slopped armour it was estimated there would have been 80% success at 30 degrees’ angle of attack.Tank Encyclopedia's Creator, webmaster and illustrator since 2010.The Churchill never mounted the 17 pounder gun,your information is incorrect.Indeed, there was a confusion between the QF 75 and the 17 pounder.I read that also a number of Churchills were covered in a ‘zimmeritt’ style of paste for experimentation.That’s an interesting information, thanks for sharing !Will the Black Prince have an illustration added? Just like the former, it incorporated typically trench-warfare features. There were three vertical slots, with the rangefinder optics at the right, gun in the center and coaxial machine-gun on the left, slightly off-centered. They changed the outline of destroyers to look more like merchant ships. However a shortage of suitable weldable sheets of armour plating … I also have heard (and read) that a solid shot from one of the 6 pounder guns managed to destroy the elevation mechanism on the gun (presumably another lucky shot).
Because of its hasty development, there had been little testing and the Churchill was plagued with mechanical faults. British Churchi… Armor protection also evolved, progressing from 4 to 5.9 inches (102 – 152 mm). Many survived and are on display in various museums and collections, some in running condition.Official British War Department test figures show that the 6pdr Mk.III anti-tank gun firing armor piercing AP rounds would penetrate the following thickness of homogeneous armour plate and these distances: 500 yrds. A small storage bow was later fitted to the turret’s rear, at first to give extra storage, but, at the end of the Churchill development, also to provide a counterweight following gun upgrades. In 1940, it was certainly superior to most 37 mm (1.45 in) guns in service throughout the world at that time, with an excellent muzzle velocity and a great rate of fire. The Churchill tanks took part in containing the German offensive of As the mainstay of the Tank Brigades, which operated in support of the infantry, Churchill units were in operation more often than other tank units.The "NA75" conversions of Churchill Mark IIIs to carry the US 75 mm gun were used in Italy. The Churchill, with its large tracks and many small boggies, proved invaluable in this sandy terrain. When firing armour piercing capped ballistic capped (APCBC) rounds at face-hardened armor plate these are the test results: 500 yrds. It was invaluable to British intelligence and now stands at the Bovington museum.With its reputation firmly re-established, the Churchill was massively involved during the whole Italian campaign. By mid-1944, it was tested alongside the Sherman, with the Matilda already in service as a reference.
The shingle "chert" of the beach was also a problem: according to history professor Hugh Henry, the German defenders had previously considered it impassable to tanks.Kingforce, formed to test whether the Churchills could operate in Africa, was disbanded after El Alamein.
However, only 46 of the 510 ordered ever reached the ANZACS, as the order was canceled at the end of the war.The last engagement of the Churchill came in Korea. Ventilation was all-time poor and access limited, preventing efficient monitoring and maintenance. It was a post-war variant of the Churchill AVRE. What welding reduced in the overall weight (estimates were around 4%), the thicker armour of the A22F made up for. Despite being fitted with a 75 mm (2.95 in) howitzer, aiming the tank proved more difficult than expected and, by early 1942, the Germans introduced up-armored versions of their main battle tank, the Panzer III, fitted with a 50 mm (1.96 in) gun. It was such a synoptic and user friendly layout. All older version were withdrawn and shipped back to Great Britain for an overhaul.Planned long before August 1942, Operation Rutter was to involve 6000 Canadians and several companies of Commandos.
