Description
I think someone meant it as a joke when they drew that turret on that chassis in the planning stages, but I guess the designer's dry wit went over the Army's head and they said, "Well, let's build it."The Centurion based FV4005 Tank Destroyer standing guard at the Tank Museum in Bovington. Now available on World of Tanks as a Tier X TD, which means I will never play it!
Bovington, UK

This thing looks like the Solomon Grundy of tanks.

You're welcome, and it's okay if you've never heard of it. It never went beyond a single prototype, so this is the only one in existence. It was recently added to World of Tanks as their Tier X British TD so figured there might be some interest in seeing the real one.

Sorry, I don't know from computer games, but it's interesting that they even built such a prototype!
