#ForgottenTanks

I felt that I focused on WW2 a bit too much so lets head back to the predecessor and talk about a tank from WW1 most people don’t know about as it was overshadowed by the FT-17 and Mark IV tanks. The Whippet tank was an exploitation vehicle for attacks and exploiting gaps in the enemy lines that the heavy tanks had made and while it is technically a medium tank it was used like a light tank and it has quite an odd design with the upward bulge on the hull for the machine guns. Aside from the old shape it was relatively effective but came right at the end of the war and didn’t see very much action though in the first and second tank vs tank engagement in history they appeared which I will talk about in a later post
