Canon antichar 17 pdr britannique d’un régiment antichar

At the beginning de la guerre, le régiment antichar was equipped avec canons antichar QF 2 pounder, which were gradually replaced by the more powerful canons antichar QF 6 pounder as they became available. In Mai 1942, the first 100 canons antichar Ordonance QF 17/25 pounder were rushed to Tunisia, to defeat les chars Tiger allemands which were encountered there. The 17 pdr went into full-scale production en 1943, et it would eventually equip two of the three pelotons de la batterie antichar. En 1944, new A.P.D.S. shells became available for 6 pdr et 17 pdr guns, which significantly improved armour penetration capabilities. Le régiment antichar de la Division Blindée des Guards had two self-propelled batteries en 1944, using le chasseur de chars 17 pdr Achilles.
