    Where the hell you found that anyway...I found references to the prototype but nothing more than one line anywhere.

    Time for me to put up something....hmm...

    Identification censored.

    Is it an Avro Anson Ski-plane, which likely makes it Finnish AF?

    It looks very similar, but it's not Anson. Or Avro, although the name of the company is close...

    It's Aero Vodochody, model A.304.

    Correct, Aero A.304. Initially a civilian transport plane, due to lack of interest it was militarized as light bomber. After occupation of Czechoslovakia, Germany and its allies used captured planes in limited amount.

    Easy, Sd.Kfz. 254. Also known as Saurer RK-7. Developed for the Austrian army as an artillery tractor, used by the Wehrmacht after the anschluss as an armoured scout car. 140 were built. Also used by the Afrika Korps as an artillery observation vehicle.

    Just spent on and off an hour trying access this thread... I hope this forum becomes more stable soon.

    I shall let that go to hopefully someone new Although at first glance I think the armament may not be so straight forward, we'll see.

    It's a bit late, I'm kinda tired, can't think of anything really difficult.
    Should be easy for anyone just a bit versed in the naval vessels, this particular ship and its commander were the 'heroes' of one of my favorite books as a kid.

    Not sure which book you read as a kid.

    A bit of confusion on my side, but yes, this is correct.
    The heroes were Admiral Tovey and a different King George V class ship, in fact the class namer.

    Would have been a lot harder without that Halftrack in front.

    Says su155.jpg as picture name. Is that a derp or a deliberate misleading?

    The sueprstructure shape does look soviet - but somehow I get an US vibe from the front (gun, mantlet, reflectors)

    Deliberate misleading and it's a European (non-soviet) infantry support gun armed with a 105mm Howitzer firing High explosive and Heat shells (planned as a mid-tier TD in WoT).
