| ARTICLES RELATED TO Christie suspension | | | |  Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Suspension vehicle - Armoured fighting vehicle suspensionMilitary AFVs, including tanks, have specialized suspension requirements. They weigh up to seventy tons and are required to move at high speed over very rough ground. Their suspension components must be protected from land mines and antitank weapons. Tracked AFVs can have as many as six or eight road wheels on each side. Many wheeled AFVs have six or eight wheels, to help them ride over rough ground.
The earliest tanks of the Great War had fixed suspensions—with no movement whatsoever. This unsatisfactory situation was improved with leaf spring suspensions a ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - T-34 - Combat effectiveness Combat effectiveness of early war T-34s can best be evaluated in terms of 'hard' factors—armour, firepower, and mobility—and 'soft' factors: ergonomic features such as ease of use, vision devices, crew task layout and so forth. The T-34 was outstanding in hard factors and poor in soft ones.
The 'big three' of tank design have always been armour, firepower, and mobility. The T-34 was an outstanding balance of all three throughout its World War Two life cycle. In 1941 its thick, sloped armour could defeat all German anti-armour weap ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Tanks 1919-1939 - Japan In 1925, the Japanese army decided to produce a tank to satisfy its own requirements. Before that year, all tanks in Japanese service had been of foreign manufacture. The first tank of Japanese design, the type 87 Chi-I, was produced in 1927 at the Osaka Arsenal. This tank was compared with an English Vickers Mark C; the type 87 was considered too heavy and too slow, and it was decided to create a new design. The Japanese were among the first to use diesel engines in some of their tank designs. They used light tanks and tankettes heavily ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Tanks 1919-1939 - United States After World War I, the United States Tank Corps was reduced in size. The Defense Act of 1920 restricted tanks to infantry use only; as a result, the Tank Corps was disbanded, with the remaining tanks distributed among the infantry.
In 1928, at the request of Secretary of War Dwight F. David, the Army formed the Experimental Mechanized Brigade. It consisted of a heavy tank battalion, a light tank battalion, a motorised infantry battalion, a motorised artillery battalion, an engineer company, and a signals company. Due to the use of obsolete equipment, the experiment failed ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Tanks 1919-1939 - Soviet Union The Soviet Union initially had only a mix of imports and a few domestic tanks developed from the FTs in the 1920s, but Stalin's enthusiasm for industrialisation and mechanisation drove an aggressive military development program, resulting in by far the largest and broadest tank inventory of all nations by the late 1930s.
In 1926, under a secret annex to the Treaty of Rapallo, the Soviet Union and Germany set up a joint tank school at Kazan in the west of the Urals, which was illegal under the Treaty of Versailles. Both countries learn ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Tanks 1919-1939 - France The French used a very wide range of tanks, including many unique types. France was the second largest tank producer in the world, behind the Soviet-Union. Their cavalry tank class filled the role of what are now called MBTs. They also fielded a heavy tank design, and several lighter types for scouting and infantry support. In addition to these types, they were also working on super-heavy breakthrough tanks. The French didn't have an independent Tank Corps. All tanks belonged to either the Infantry or the Cavalry.

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - T-34 - Importance The T-34 was among most important weapon systems in the Red Army in the Second World War. Since the Soviet-German front was the decisive land theatre of WWII, the importance of the T-34 can hardly be exaggerated. At the time it was first fielded in 1940, it was easily the finest tank design in the world. By mid-war it was no longer technically superior to all its opponents, but it was still better than most, and it was available in huge numbers.
The improved T-34-85 remained the standard Soviet medium tank with an uninterrupted produc ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Tanks 1919-1939 - United Kingdom Following the Great War, many experiments involving armoured vehicles were conducted in Great Britain. Particularly many advances were made in the areas of weaponry, tracks, and the use of these vehicles on the battlefield.
In the 1920s, a number of influential tank designs were developed. One especially notable one was the Vickers Medium Mk II, a pivotal design which combined some of the best traits of WWI tanks into a much faster tank. It had a fully rotating turret on top like the FT, but mounted a dual-use 3-pounder gun (that coul ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - T-34 - Combat history The T-34 is often used as a symbol for the effectiveness of the Soviet counterattack against the Germans. The appearance of the T-34 in the summer of 1941 was a psychological shock German soldiers, who had been prepared to face an inferior Soviet enemy; this is shown by Alfred Jodl's diary, who seems to have been taken by surprise at the appearance of the T-34 in Riga. The T-34 could take on all 1941 German tanks effectively. However, the new tank suffered from severe mechanical problems, especially with its transmission and clutch—at leas ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - History of the tank - World War I: dawn of the tank The tank was developed by the British in World War I as a solution to the stalemate trench warfare had brought to the western front. The first prototype of the Mark I tank was tested for the British Army on September 6, 1915. Although initially termed "land ships" by The Admiralty, to preserve secrecy the initial vehicles were referred to as "water-carriers" which was then shortened to "tanks".
While the British took the lead in tank development, the French were not far behind and fielded their first tanks in 1917. The Germans on the ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - History of the tank - Between the wars Between the two world wars, with the tank concept now established, several nations designed and built tanks. Britain and France were the intellectual leaders while other armies generally followed and adopted their designs.
Britain continued its technical dominance of tank design from 1915 through at least the early 1930s. British designs, particularly those from the Vickers firm, formed the basis for many of the most common tanks of the 1930s and early WW2. For example, the Vickers Six Ton Tank was the basis for the Polish 7TP, the So ...

The Warsaw Pact was seen by the West as having an aggressive force outnumbering the NATO forces.
Soviet domination of the Warsaw Pact led to effective standardization on a few tank designs. In comparison, NATO adopted a defensive posture. The major contributing nations, France, Germany, the USA, and the UK deve ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - History of the tank - Early vehicles in warfare The problem of advancing to attack while under fire is as old as warfare itself. The idea of using some kind of movingconstruction for protection seems to be almost as old. The Assyrians had moveable barriers for archers. The Roman Empire had shielded towers on wheels armed with catapults. The Poles and Czechs had wheeled metal-plated war-wagons in the Middle Ages. Leonardo da Vinci designed a man-powered fighting vehicle with wheels.
Most of these older ideas focused on sieges, where the more common tactics of manoeuvre and formation ...

| | | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - BT tank - Technical Legacy The BT series was numerous, forming the 'cavalry tank' arm of the pre-war Red Army, and had much better mobility than other contemporary tank designs. For these reasons, there were many experiments and derivatives of the design, mostly conducted at the KhPZ factory in Kharkov, Soviet Ukraine.
The most important legacy of the BT was the T-34 design, derived in part from the BT. The T-34 had many innovations well beyond the BT, but the lineage is obvious. Along the way, an important technical development was the BT-IS and BT-SW-2 series ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - History of the tank - Entering the twenty-first century The ongoing development of the tank is covered in more detail in the Tank research and development article.
With the end of the Cold War in 1991, questions once again started sprouting concerning the relevance of the traditional tank. Over the years, many nations cut back the number of their tanks or replaced most of them with lightweight armoured fighting vehicles with only minimal armour protection.
This period also brought an end to the superpower blocs, and the military industries of Russia and Ukraine are now vying to sell ...

| | | | | Christie suspension: Encyclopedia II - Panzer II - History In 1934, delays in the design and production of the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks were becoming apparent. Designs for a stopgap tank were solicited from Krupp, MAN, Henschel, and Daimler-Benz. The final design was based on the Panzer I, but larger and with a turret mounting a 20 mm anti-tank gun. Production began in 1935, but it took another eighteen months for the first combat-ready tank to be delivered.
The Panzer II was the main battle tank of the German Panzer divisions beginning with the invasion of France, until it was replaced ...
