RecyMech Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Marmite is correct.....the L6 Wombat is a very different animal. Having a relatively tiny carriage & no trails, made lightweight so burly Marines can hump it in & out of Landrovers:cool2: L1/L2 BAT (full armoured shield, no spotting rifle, 2 gunners handwheels) L4 Mobat (no shield, left side mounted Bren as spotting rifle, 1 handwheel) L7 Conbat (no shield, top mounted .50 spotting rifle) Think I've got it covered anyway? (that page in the link is wrong, whilst the picture shows a Wombat, the list of 'nicknames' is inaccurate) H Edited August 29, 2012 by RecyMech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modello Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thank You all, friends, for Your participation and good explanations ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) ALSO: BAT, MOBAT & CONBAT load method is TOTALY different! First three have conventional Dropping Breech Mechs. Also, First three are ALL TOWED weapons. WOMAT has a SIDE Swinging Venturie to load. Also HAS to be transported IN a Vehicle. Ammo though is the SAME 12mm Rounds for ALL of the Guns.
