Sherman MkVc Firefly 17-pdr question
To the Sherman gurus ....
Why did the Brits need to reconfigure the 17-pdr with a horizontal sliding block breech for the Sherman Firefly when the production AT gun used a vertical sliding block? Was it, as Wiked-pedia states, due to internal space considerations? Was this same horizontal breech configuration used in all other 17-pdr-equipped Brit tanks or was the vertical block of the AT gun used in some? The Centurion Mks 1 & 2 used the 17-pdr Mk.6 which had the horizontal sliding block breech. Thanks Mike
