World of Tanks - British M2 Light Tank - YouTube xenofoxx

The M2 Light Tank was one of several designs that were acquired by Great Britain during the Second World War. While 100 vehicles were ordered, it seems only 36 were delivered before the order was cancelled. Being a pre-war design it didn't see a lot of action and was soon replaced by better light and medium armored vehicles. There is some evidence that the British M2 might have see some combat action in India and Burma against the Japanese forces. While other sources say that these tanks were ordered, but never delivered. I haven't played World of Tanks in a while, but a recent update got my attention. I figured I'd be rusty so I decided to stick to a low tier. I rarely played the UK Import line so that's why I went with the M2. The result... "So many medals"

World of Tanks - Russian Lend-Lease Tetrarch Light Tank - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Tanks

With Warships and Warplanes taking up most of my gaming time, I rarely get to play Tanks as often as I use to. So I decided to take my Tetrarch out for a spin. With our team in the lead, I decided to go for a downhill ramming attack. The Light Tank Mk VII (A17) "Tetrarch" was a British light tank designed to replace the Mk VI vehicles. It featured a whole new suspension with large road wheels and featured the 2-pounder main gun. Problems with the cooling system, as well as the overall weakness of the armor made it unsuitable for desert fighting, so it was not used during the North African campaign. When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa, the USSR was extended into the Lend-Lease program between the United States and United Kingdom. During this time, about 20 Tetrarch vehicles were sent to Russia.

World of Warplanes - British North American Mustang Mk. IA Fighter - 2016 "Japanese Threat" Event - YouTube xenofoxx

World of Warplanes

This battle was during the 2016 "Japanese Threat" event, featuring Allies versus Axis. The first orders for the aircraft, then known as NA-73, was placed by the British Royal Air Force. The RAF called these aircraft "Mustang Mk. I". This aircraft had a mix of different calibers which included both 7.62mm and 12.7mm Browning machine guns. Later the American ordered the aircraft, designated NA-91 was planned to be named P-51 Apache by the United States Army Air Force. But later it was decided to keep the "Mustang" name used by the British. However the Americans did not like the mixed armament, so it was decided to replace the guns with four wing-mounted long-barreled 20mm Hispano Mk. II autocannons. These guns gave the aircraft more of a kick in terms of fire power and the British designated this variant "Mustang Mk. IA". Both the Mk. I and Mk. IA had successes so long as the aircraft stayed below 15,000 feet. This was due to the performance output of the Allison V-1710-39 engine. Later variants of the Mustang would resolve this by using the more powerful Merlin engines designed by Rolls Royce and license built by Packard Motor Car Company.
