strange thing is, I was at the 2006 war and peace show - I can't recall seeing that one anywhere - must have gone by it without a second thought.

Here's my contribution:

T17 Deerhound.

There was also a 4x4 version called the T17E1 Staghound that was produced in much greater numbers.

It says what it's called on the side of the hull. rofl.gif

yeah, i know - thought it may be too hard so I left that on, but expected people to stumble across the staghound, and not her 6x6 version.

I had to PS a few logos off the front of this one:

Sorry I couldn't find a bigger pic.

E: Nevermind, misinterpreted the rules.

That one looks kind of like an M114 but I really have no idea.

looks like one of the current generic modern FRES type armour systems being developed - the turret strikes a resemblance to the LAV turret, but im lost on finding what the vehicle is.

perhaps a little too hard with such a small pic - I'd hazard a guess that they're british given what their crew helmets look like, but like i said, its so small its probably my eyes playing tricks.

Probably was a bit too hard.

It's the Advanced Composite Armored Vehicle Platform (ACAVP) demonstrator developed by QinetiQ. Nicknamed the "plastic tank".

It's a demonstrator used to showcase the properties of fiber-composites on armoured vehicles that could potentially be utilised in FRES, rather than an actual condender for FRES itself.

Someone else can have a go now, the floor's open.

Heres one that should be hard, but not too hard wink_o.gif

(Apologies for the shady PS job on the logos)

didn't think to look at qinetiq, only ventured onto BAE's site to have a look. Happy that I ID'd it as british smile_o.gif

[edit]

Deadmeat, well the Abrams heritage is clear to see, but there are some subtle differences here and there.... searching for info on any sort of abrams upgrades etc... I feel perplexed that that line of thought may be that little too easy...

hmmm

You're on the right track looking for upgrades, but not upgrades to Abrams.

Pay less attention to the turret and look at the rest of the tank.

Indeed, its the M60-2000, or the General Dynamics 120S.

Was an upgrade of the M60 with the Abrams turret and extra armour around the hull.

Ironsight or BlackScorpion, whoever gets here first wink_o.gif

The 1st one is definetly a Panhard AML, 2nd looks a tad like a half truck... M3 or early BTRs, though I guess not. No idea on the last ones, yet. They look a tad like the Panhard VBLs

I know the right answer, but I'm daily visitor of MP.net so it would be unfair biggrin_o.gif

the two at the rear are the same vehicle... or at least as far as I can tell

[edit]

at any rate, my best guess is: 1. AML (Obviously), 2. VAL Cashuat, 3+4 looks like a pair of UR-416's

can't be sure mind - spent a day looking around various google hits trying to work out what vehicles they would be... Ironsight should be banned from this game biggrin_o.gif

Correct, El Salvadorian Army. AML was easy, Cashuat is a modification of a M37 truck and the last 2 are indeed UR-416's.

Good job! Your turn smile_o.gif

wahey biggrin_o.gif

I had worked out the el salvadorian theme, so it was a case of trawling through the possible vehicles and matching them up

Ok, probably easy - love this thing:
