Yeah, I was amiss in not mentioning the Stuarts. They had the same gyro problem by being disliked and not used. It was the same one designed for the Lee Medium and only elevation. The Stuarts had the added problem of a very small, cramped 2 man turret and the gyro was left off as it presented a problem in loading the gun with the small breech constantly moving up & down. The Stuarts did have a good hydraulic traverse traverse which seemed to be dependable. Another fast, fun tank like the M-41, but awfully small and no room to move inside.

T-44....are you referring to the Russian medium? Wasn't aware that any Russian tank had a stabilzer before the T-70. I've been in T-54/55s and T-62,. but never saw anything that looked like a stabilizer....only extremely huge breech & recoil asemblies.

How 'bout it Hal....are you reading? [:-]
