Whatever do as you please. I am not going to beg you to stay, there are plenty of people that wish to learn and teach there knowledge and debate in respectful ways. You can do so if you wish too, up to you. You can decide whether you want to be the weakest link or not...

Jackson, stop proving yourself wrong over and over again and start elaborating on your 90mm M1A1 armed Jumbo please.

And a little something to think about - I know Christian Ankerstjerne from the Axis History forum and he wouldn't agree with you either

I repeat there was NO Sherman fitted with the 90mm M1A1 gun during WW2.
You are out of your league, burn your books, take up whittling or basket weaving..

Besides it is a M3 gun, doofus

M1A1
Towed anti-aircraft gun. Production began in 1940. Featured the M8A1 spring rammer. Rate of fire 20 rounds per minute.


M3
An anti-tank version of the gun. It was used to equip the 90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36 and Heavy Tank M26 Pershing. It is also known as 90 mm L/50.

I think you are the one that is out of your league. You are proving that with your post. And do me a favor please learn how to use a forum because you deleted posts are annoying.

Besides this is just getting stupid anyhow. You keep repeating the same stuff over and over that just proves you wrong.

Neither of which where an M4 Sherman or a Sherman Jumbo. The M36 may of been built on a Sherman chassis but that doesn't make it a Sherman it is a totally different tank.

My bad, I can't find the delete button..

Yeah, I am wrong, an over night field modification, retro fitting a new turret on an existing M4 body and chassis is a totally 'different " tank..

I will bet they might have even, spent half the night to grind out all the parts serial numbers and then repainted the whole thing top to bottom just so nobody knew its prior designation. So it was "totally differnt" they probably secretly changed the names of the crews overnight too, just to keep things straight.


OK, what ever...I am wrong..

You people with a 'superior knowledge' of all this could at least get the gun model and type correct. I mean you are telling Jackson about the "Jackson".


And my old 5.0 Mustang, I have bolted on a bunch of Saleen parts, I better buy some 'Saleen' name plates for it, becuse I changed the intake manifild and ported it, beefed up the suspension and otherwise 'bullet proofed' it.

I will be contacting the Department of Motor Vehicles here becuase I better change the registration certificate and title- right.


Yeah, I will just drop it.. You are obviously all experts on the M36B1. I picked my nick (Jackson) here by mistake, it should have been "M4A3/90 mm M3/ L50".


I gotta go for a ride out to "Bullrun", silly me, I call it Manassas.. (that is an a "Stonewall joke")

Now are you just being silly. I enjoyed reading that because it made me laugh real hard. You dont have many friends in real life do you?

Why dont you just calm down and debate like an adult rather than a child.

Yeah, nobody likes a funny "auditor" lol..


Everyone around the world hates people 'with a sense of humor' I can't get laid either.

My wife only married me because I can cook and my partners here at the firm would dump rat poison in my coffee except that I am the only one that really understands our tax software.

I don't know how I ever make any 'rain'.. I think it is only because my client base is mostly alcoholics. BTW, they are mostly ex military, defense contractors.. We all hang out at the Crystal City restaurant, in Pentagon City dreaming of hooking up with an 'adult entertainer" on crack.

You have much to look foward to after retirement.

PS I am gonna link this thread to a couple of 'Sherman' experts I know.

Y'all can teach them a thing or two..heh

Go right ahead. All we are saying the Jackson was not technically a Sherman. Based off of it, but not a Sherman.

If you had worded your words differently, people might have agreed with you. If you had not come off as such an ass at first calling people arrogant and then stupid. This might have goon more smoothly for you.

You will learn in time.

Hey you're the one who brought up the "90mm M1A1" Jackson, not me...

Btw, the 90mm M3A1 and M1A1 are the same except one is for AA use and the other is modified to fit inside a tank..

And again, just to refresh your memory, its a M-36 and there was no Jumbo fitted with a 90mm gun during WW2.

Just to refresh your memory I will never agree with you, ever

and I never said, "M1A1".. except to quote one of your many mistakes, errors and misconceptions.

However, go ahead and find a quote.. I just checked this whole thread..

Otherwise -I suppose it is just another one of your errors.

LINK (ME)?

QUOTE (ME)?


Here is another thread where YOU introduce this error/mistake into the discussion..

http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/ww2...0-mm-7270.html (17 ponder vs US 90 mm)


This is another funny quote from you ..

a) Also the only Jumbo to appear during WW2 with a 90mm gun was a Howitzer

I have already been warned not to insult you, so I will merely ask for your support for this "observation" a) of yours..

From your last post on the page, I would like to hear more about this 90 mm Howitzer comment, please expain in detail, with links etc..

http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/ww2...st-708-20.html (Best/Favourate Tank in the west)


So, feel free to find me using the 'M1A1' reference other than to repeatedly point out one of your many obvious mistakes.


I did find one link for a black powder ""90 mm howitzer""

us army " 90 mm howitzer" - Google Search




regards
