Also, very early Centurions mounted a 20mm coaxisl gun. IIRC, it was capable of elevating higher than the main gun, specifically for AA use.

The prototype that I saw at the Patton Museum implied that it had been done before and I had heard that the french did it but did not know for sure who had.

Worth noting that it was common for most WWII tanks to have the coaxial MG be removable by the crew in the field and a tripod provided so it could be operated from the tank. I think this was most common in American and German tanks. |

A "could have been (?)" the 'Jagdchieftain':
http://arcaneafvs.com/chieftain_concept.html http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/foru...peihu69i68hm62 I'm sure I read that it was / maybe still is a runner although it seems that the gun may have been a dummy. A similar vehicle with two guns was built around the same time on the Leopold 1 chassis. Second photo down here: http://www.tank-net.com/forums/index...c=37398&page=3 |

Most photos here. It seems that the Leopold version was tested / planned in both 105mm and 120mm versions.
