[The culmination of British tanks born from the determination of overthrowing Germany]
- The Comet appeared at the end of World War II as a British tank that could compete with powerful German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther.
-The basic structure of the car body is based on the Cromwell, a conventional main battle tank, and the main gun is equipped with a QF77mm gun, which is comparable to the 17-pounder gun, which was said to be the strongest anti-tank gun in England at the time.
- The turret has also been enlarged to match the new main gun, giving it a more modern look.
- The Comet, which made its first appearance in the Rhine Crossing Operation in March 1945, struggled mainly to support infantry, fully demonstrating the power of its 77mm cannon. The well-balanced performance of attack power, mobility, and defense power was highly appreciated by the crew and infantry.
[Outline of model]
