Hello everyone,
Bertockamus from US server was kind enough to share some pictures from Base Borden Military Museum with us. It’s a Canadian museum, located near CFB Borden, allegedly one of the largest Canadian Forces training bases. They have some interestÃng vehicles there, let’s have a look:
FT-17
Valentine (possibly Valentine VI or VII, those were made in Canada)
Matilda II
Ram Mk.II
T-34/85
Churchill Mk.I
Sherman Flail
Jagdpanzer 38t
Wirbelwind
M5 Stuart
75mm PAK40
Sherman (not sure which type)
Centurion
That’s Easy 8, not sure which hull, but I believe M4A3E8
Look at the inventory of the museum, it is M4A2E8.
The wery tank allso is pictured on wikimedia, notice the gray/white building next ti it.

I guess you’re right, hard to tell the difference between A2 and A3 hull.
Primary difference was engine I believe. So yeah, hard to tell externally.
Those tanks look very clean and well looked after.
Obviously been fairly recently painted, however they havent maintained all their markings.
They should really be indoors.
The Sherman is probably an M4A3E8, seeing how it has the 76mm gun and the Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension
Nop, it’s M4A2E8, not M4A3E8. The difference is in the engine really.
Easy 8 with skirts
Off topic for this i know, but ive figured out the obj 140′s place! Clans that use t62a alot now have a replacement for when they get locked out for a week! Im sure they will be happy about that?
Finally some canadian love btw this is gonna sound annoying but it’s the North America Server cause it serves all US, Canada, and Mexico possible even South America not to sure. But on another note I would love to see the wirbelwind in the game it looks like such a fun low tier tank tank for a AA tank
Let me know if you need any pics from Bovingdon… I have lots
Don’t delay. Me wanna see TOG pictures, all other tanks bask in the glow of it’s awesomeness.
More like are shadowed by its enormous posterior… :P
To be specific that is an American built M1917
Any and all M1917′s were American built.
Its an E2 aka Jumbo Sherman I think.
It’s not.
Tank nerd to the rescue!
“Sherman Flail” should be “Sherman Crab MKII”
“Matilda II” should be “Matilda Senior”
Actually it’s: Infantry Tank Mk.II Matilda (A12)
Matilda II and Matilda Senior areunofficial names.
Uuuuu. Listy, are You going to pick the glove thrown? Should we prepare for a nerd-off?
To the ARCHIVES!!!
The blue on that Wirbelwind is ugly as hell. Shame.
