Hello everyone,
yesterday I posted a set of photos from the Borden base in Canada, but forgot one of the most important exhibits they have there a single surviving Grizzly Firefly. Also, if you are wondering about the Radley-Walters inscription – no, this was not Radley-Walters’ personal tank or anything, it was just named in his honor after its restoration.
Well, here’s a bunch of photos of that tank, courtesy of NotKaminary from US server.
I wouldn’t mind having this as a tier 6/7 premium. Awesome tank.
Not competitive at tier 7.
Probably the top configuration of the Grizzly at tier 6, following the RAM
175mm penetration is good enough for tier VII
Lol yeah. If we can have the Panther M10 at tier 7, we can have this at Tier 7.
t23e3 has 128 penetration at tier 7
But a sick DPM to make up for that, also it’s very fast and has a surprisingly good armor.
Especially, when we think of T-44 having 175mm pen on tier VIII…
That was going to be the T-44-85, no 100mm D-10T cannon.
Yea Tier 6 would be great. I cant easily find a description for this tank. Their are some great War time pics w/ these tanks coverd in tracks tho, lol.
Did it actually fight though?
Yes, I believe it even fought in Korea.(I doubt it was in Korea though)
Amazing tank..
I believe Bovi have Grizzly too, I can’t remember if it has the 17pounder or the 76mm on it though.
It’s also a Grizzly Firefly at Bovi from what I recall. I don’t think any factory Grizzly tanks were ever produced with the M1 76, if any had them they were probably field upgrades from the 75mm.
looks in quite a sad shape, what bein in the elements an all that.
I would not like to be in that turret….
Anyone over 1m80 would probably have one of their arm and shoulder crushed by the breech on that thing o.o
this to be fair could be anything from a tier 6 american prem or a british tier 6 prem medium with the firefly branch coming soon
No point in having it prem, when the finally get round to doing the commonwealth tanks it will sit nicely at tier 6 (with ram and ram 2 as tier 4 and 5, give the americans their own tier 5 prem ffs) in the canadian sub branch opposite AC IV in the Ozzy branch.
I wonder whose bright idea it was to paint it with turquoise house paint :(
Probably anti-corrosion paint.
The small little town Veckring in France has a Firefly as well just when you enter the town. The Maginot line museum there is worth a visit to.
