Light Tank Mk.VI
Light Tank Mk.VI
Does anyone have some specific information on this tank's armour? Best I can't find anywhere is "14mm to 4mm" and I'm hoping to find something a lot more detailed.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks Gary, certainly a lot more detail. Quick sketch to help me visualize ...

Hi guys, would the same armour thickness be on the Mk. VIC too?

I would assume so, I've read of no change in that department in the VIc.

Thanks Bren.
It is a pity that the armour thickness on the cupola was not given, but some things do remain a mystery, as I recall trying to pin down the armoured shields on German MGs on both the Sd.Kfz 250 and 251 plus the MG shield on the StuG III.
