QF 3.7 Ram British Tank Destroyer

Post by ZakTheBuilder1 »

History
In 1941, General Frederick 'Frank' Worthington, founder of the Canadian Armoured Corps, proposed that a 3.7-inch anti-aircraft gun be mounted on a Ram chassis to act as a mobile anti-tank gun. The higher firepower was needed to counter the German heavy armour on the North African campaign and to provide heavy defensive fire. The Ordnance Quick Firing (OQF) MK II was the primary British heavy AA guns during World War II. The Canadians used these guns for experimenting, mounting it on the Ram chassis.

Few examples were made and one was sent to Great Britain for trials.
