The group of Tiger I's and Panther's fire at the Soviet Bob Semple. Their shots ricochet off the advanced armor. Suddenly, 10 more Bob Semples appear, and they annihilate the force, killing every gernan tank and Soldier. The battle of Dickcity was a disaster for the Wehrmact, and it led to the fall of Berlin.

Speaking of the Russian designs, which were thrown into combat against Axis invaders, that was desperation and it's no surprise they didn't do very well. My beef is with the people who look at Bob Semple's armored tractor, sneer, and call it the worst tank of the war. That's pure ignorance talking. Semple was a New Zealander, and at one point it looked like Japan was sweeping down the Solomon Islands on course to attack them. They had no tanks, and couldn't buy them from England because every tank England was building was going to North Africa or replacing the losses they'd suffered at Dunkirk. So Semple looked at what New Zealand had to work with and what the Japanese would be armed with if they invaded, and his solution was elegant under the circumstances. The first thing that has to be understood is that his armored tractors were NOT tanks. What he designed them to be is mobile machine gun bunkers that could stand up to Japanese rifles and machine guns, which were the primary weapons their landing forces would have carried. If the Japanese had taken port facilities and landed artillery, the tractors would have been easy targets. But as a way to get adequately protected machine guns to where they were needed fast enough to matter, I suspect that the tractors might have done the job well enough. Of course, that would only have lasted until and unless they ran into something other than a Japanese infantry platoon. Still, I think that's all Semple wanted out of them and they were better than the nothing they'd had before. I'm sure he thanked God that they were never needed.

The Bob Semple was still an overly complex design with poor crew ergonomics and unecessarily heavily for the armour it provided as a consequence of that design. Plus, it was tall, slow, unstable and unable to turn as it drove, unlike other designs built on the same tractor. So, whilst I get the point you are trying to convey, I think it's fair to say the Bob Semple was still a bad design that didn't come near getting the most out of the little materiel that New Zealand had available.

@danielspoon1234 I've seen a great many people criticising the universal carrier as something that was outdated, under-armoured and unable to sport a big enough gun - even though it was an interwar design and iterations of it were highly influential in Europe, North Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The thing is, that description doesn’t fit the Bob Semple, does it? I suspect that being assigned to a Bob Semple during an actual firefight would be more likely to get you killed than provide a defensive effect that some sand bags and a machine gun could not also achieve. All for the cost of numerous machine guns (most of which probably wouldn't even be facing the enemy and were in short supply) and multiple men. So, I'd rather be on foot in most circumstances (especially if the Japanese brought their island hopping amphibious Type 2 Ha-Mi tanks with them). Let's examine the potential experience of a Bob Semple crew member. The Bob Semple Tank Experience [forgive me but this afforded me the opportunity for some fun] Imagine being cramped in a confined space, laying down between sheets of corrugated iron and barely able to lift your head. You have an extremely limited field of view and it's hard to see past the barrel of your own gun. A crew member below you shouts “contact right” and begins firing his machine gun. There's a moment of terror as you realise you're in combat for the first time but you can't see anything. Bullets are peppering the manganese corrugated iron and soft steel hull of your machine gun toting tank. Shrapnel penetrates your comrade's gun shroud, blinding him as he screams. Your crew commander gives the order to turn the vehicle but as the driver kicks it into gear, it jolts to a halt because the overburdened powertrain isn't going downhill. If only the turret hadn’t been removed following trials. Sure, it made an already obscenely tall vehicle even taller and more unstable but the Bob Semple tank is still too heavy and unbalanced to handle the mountains of New Zealand. At least a turret could have brought its machine gun fire to bear on the Japanese soldiers that are now advancing up the street. Nevertheless, your driver persists and Big Bob turns to face the enemy head-on. Now’s your chance to prove your metal. You can’t really make out more than a blur but there’s a mass of tan coloured uniforms charging towards you; screaming all the way. As you and the gunner below you start firing, the Japanese start throwing hand grenades. The explosions shake the vehicle and rattle your nerves, whilst the blind man screams in terrified confusion. Soon, you have to reload and whilst you’re struggling to do so in your cramped position, an armoured car rolls around the corner.. your machine guns can’t dent that. Suddenly, a hail of heavy machine gun fire from the car tears through the driver and gunner below you. The blind man isn’t screaming anymore. In a panic, the commander shouts the order to retreat but he quickly realises the men in front of him are dead, the left hand gunner lies wounded and there’s no hope of saving his tank. He yells “abandon tank”, grabs his wounded junior and turns to access the rear hatch - finding the rear gunner dead behind him. As he drags the wounded man towards the hatch, he calls to you but he knows he needs to get this man to cover. Regardless, your commander falls dead as he pulls himself out of the tank and the wounded soldier dies of his wounds. As you try to slide yourself backwards to drop down to the main compartment, an unrelenting storm of withering small arms fire peppers the shattered hull. You find the entire crew is dead but before you have time to contemplate trying to get out and run for the relative security of a nearby building, the armoured car fires again. Its large calibre bullets tear through the metal of your Bob Semple - they also tear through your frail human body and you have time to realise your arm is gone before you lose consciousness.

When you say that the Soviets only experimented with only one APC design, I'm presuming that you haven't seen the photographs of T-26 based APCs intended for transporting artillery crews around safely. These never saw production and were a modified adaptation of the T--26 ammunition carrier design (they installed "seats"). I have it in a book on Soviet 1930's experimental BT & T-26 variants, that was published in the 1990's. The book also includes photographs & technical histories of the telemetric T-26, a BT-7 armed with the 76.2mm. L.41.2 F-34 gun in the turret, citadel bodied BT-5 based command tanks, bridge layers, recovery tanks, T-26 based artillery crew APC, T-26 based artillery OP tank, mine clearing tanks, etc.

They’re neat, but rare for a reason. Armor and engines tend to be pretty heavy, so if you put them both in the same spot (the front) that can lead to issues with your suspension. Also means that front penetrations have a good chance of disabling/totaling the tank (though in certain circumstances, it can increase crew survivability rates). Also puts the hottest part of the tank where it’s more easily seen (assuming you aren’t driving backwards of course)

There are no cannons on all "НИ" tanks from Odessa, only metal pipes with 7.62 DT hidden inside. That's why they are called "На испуг". Desperate times ... However, it's ridiculous to say, but they showed themselves well on the battlefield and fulfilled their task 100% - they scared the enemy, for which they got their nickname. Initially, they were called "Janvarets", in honor of the factory where they were created, but after the battle on September 20, 1941, when tractors "knocked out" Romanian units at night, simply scaring them, the tanks got their name - НИ-1. Later, with an increase in the number of armored tractors produced, a tank battalion was created from NI under the command of Senior Lieutenant N. I. Yudin On October 2, 1941, N. I. Yudin's tank battalion participated in an attack on the positions of the 4th Romanian army in the area of Leninthal, as a result of which the Romanian units that were not expecting an attack were defeated, and the tankers captured 24 artillery pieces, mortars and machine guns. Nevertheless, six or seven armored tractors were lost during the attack (hit by artillery fire and out of service due to a technical malfunction) According to the memoirs of the secretary of the Leninsky district party committee N. G. Lutsenko, from August 20 to October 15, 55 tractors were converted in this way. According to other sources, a total of 69 "Odessa tanks" were produced On October 15, 1941, the last surviving armored tractors provided evacuation of the troops defending Odessa, they covered the retreat of the last units. Several of them were blown up by crews before loading onto the Volga transport, the rest were abandoned in the city. The Romanian troops who entered Odessa got a lot of NI-1s, which they subsequently used for various (including training) purposes. As of November 1, 1942, 14 vehicles were still in service in the hands of the Romanians

You got to give Bob Semple credits for trying to make a functioning tank in a country where military industry does not existence. Plus, he did more to his country than almost 90% of the modern day politicians (he was a miner before going into politics). Many joked about the Bob Semple tank being absolutely dog shit and they were right. But what they failed to see, was a desperate man who's trying to find a way to save his country from an imminent invasion from the Japanese. New Zealand contributed almost their entire country to the commonwealth and left nothing for themselves in terms of defense. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and tore through South East Asia like an unstoppable hurricane, both Australia and New Zealand were mentally prepared for the imminent demise of their own nation. The ONLY thing that stopped the invasion of Australia and subsequently New Zealand, was America's intervention in Coral Sea where they sacrificed the aircraft carrier USS Lexington to prevent the Japanese from controlling the Coral Sea. Had US lost the battle, not only would they get wiped out in Midway (4 IJN carriers vs 2 US carriers USS Hornet and USS Enterprise as Yorktown was sunk at Coral Sea), it would green light Japan's effort in invading Australia and New Zealand despite the great logistical difficulty (saying they were "bad" in logistics is a BIG understatement). In the end, Bob Semple tank was a complete joke, but it sure as hell was a great morale boost for the ANZACs.

From one who has moved a 75mm gun by hand/horses, a gun on a tractor is a nice upgrade. But question, are these tanks or mobile guns? Also its interesting they took the time to attempt a full track APC.

Bob Semple based on a later (updated) design... is one of those things I didn't expect to hear during my lifetime. And, no, AI overlords, this is not a challenge to come up with worse.

Did anyone ever make a drawing or think of putting a 17 pounder on a 76mm jumbo? That would of been cool. It would of needed better suspension and better engine but I think It would of helped the allies so much against the German tigers and panthers.jumbo armor with 17 pounder gun power lol

Syrian Kurds built armored vehicles on the chassis of bulldozers and garbage trucks. Mostly used as battle taxis and wall breachers.

It's actually very simple - the 45mm gun was sufficient for both the anti-tank role and for supporting infantry/destroying machine gun nests during interbellum times. You can also recall that the A-20 also had a 45-mm cannon in the initial performance characteristics, but then, taking into account the lessons of the Spanish Civil War, it was decided to increase the caliber of tank guns for medium and heavy tanks. And that's how they came to the three-inch gun in the T-34 and KV-1

I mean I wouldn't say it was impressive the tractor performing better than tanks. A tractor is designed to go through mud with various pieces of farming appliances that are also heavy so it doesn't surprise me. Maybe they should have welded a few plows to the exterior since it's very tough metal ahah

They should have hired Ned Kelly to adapt plows as amour plates.

I feel the Semple gets a bad wrap. It was never meant as a main battle tank, just something better than nothing. In that it would have succeeded wildly.
