In Yugoslavia Allied supplied M3s or more likely I think M5s had their turrets removed and replaced with captured German guns. I can't get access to the photos from here but try Googling "stuart tank yugoslavia". 75mm anti-tank guns, quad 20mm AA, etc, were all fitted.
(Keep going down this page http://forum.heroesandgenerals.com/v...=8544&start=20 for a couple of photos).
I've also seen a line drawing of one with US quad .50'' AA guns. |
If you could find one I would go for an M134 with gunshield front and (possibly) MGs left and right plus smoke grenade dischargers on the front (multiple). Good for infantry threats but not too well armed to take on other armour.
Alternatively a RR in an open mount might be ideal.
