This isn't M4 A3 (what is "R3"? - I haven't hear of such official designation), but late M4 (composite hull) indeed. Biggest number of M4s was manufactured by Chrysler, none were made by Ford. |

I've checked it - composite hull M4s were produced by Chrysler only. |

It's a POA-CWS-H1, 54 of them were manufactured using M4 Composite hulls and issued to the 713th Tank Battalion. -- Last edit: 2024-10-19 18:42:16 |

No, that's just nonsense. The Chemical Warfare Service, which was in charge of the design of flamethrowers, used "R" to indicate "Revision", it was their equivalent of the Army's "E" designations. "R3" just means "revision 3" and could be applied to any thing, for example the E4R3 Flame Gun, M3-4-E6R3 Mechanized Flame Thrower, or M3-4-E12R3 Mechanized Flame Thrower. Flame tanks for a time were named after the components that went in them, fuel tank, pressure tank, and flame gun. So anything that included the E6R3 Flame Gun, for instance, would also have "E6R3" in its name. It's all very confusing, and at some point someone must have wrongly thought "R3" meant flame tank, and people copied him. I believe the tank in the photo you linked is the POA-CWS-COAX-M1A-M5A -- Last edit: 2024-10-19 18:30:49 |
