anti-tank weapon. That was what the 37 in the turret was for.The_Chieftain: I don't believe that is the case. The only documentation I
have thus far seen on the matter indicates that the desire for the
75mm came from the issues that the smaller guns were demonstrating
in the fall of France, and that the 37mm was retained at the
specific request of Infantry branch, presumably because of the
ability for all-around fire with a canister round to protect the
tank against any sneaky infantry types.
