	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Archer (tank destroyer)
		The Archer was classified as a self-propelled gun and as such was operated by the Royal Artillery (RA) rather than a Cavalry or tank regiment.
		This Archer tank destroyer was used by the Egyptian Army in the defence of Abu-Ageila during the Sinai Campaign (1956).
		Tank destroyers are used primarily to provide antitank support for infantry or tank units, in defensive or withdrawal operations.

	Tank destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tank destroyers are used primarily to provide antitank support for infantry or tank units, in defensive or withdrawal operations.
		Tank destroyers cannot fulfil the many roles of tanks; they are much less flexible, and usually lack a strong anti-infantry capability.
		Whereas the Panzerjägers ("tank hunters") were based on the rebuilt chassis of obsolescent tanks, dedicated Jagdpanzer ("hunting tank") versions of tanks were developed later in the war.

		As the tank destroyer moved forward, followed by a company of riflemen, Capt. Galt manned the.30-caliber machinegun in the turret of the tank destroyer, located and directed fire on an enemy 77mm.
		The tank had started to withdraw, backing a short distance, then firing, backing some more, and then stopping to blast out another round, when the man whose single-handed relentless attack had put the ponderous machine on the defensive was struck and instantly killed by a direct hit from the Tiger Royal's heavy gun.
		Although the tank which he commanded was destroyed in the course of the fire fight, he stood the enemy off until friendly tanks, preparing to come to his aid, caused the enemy to withdraw and thereby lose an opportunity to kill or capture the entire battalion command personnel.

		One was the Archer self-propelled 17-pounder, based on a Valentine chassis with the gun mounted in an open-top body facing back over the engine.
		With a range of 9,144m (10,000 yards), the H.E. shell could change the powerful tank killer into a convenient field support gun, although this practice was used only very rarely as the standard 25-pounder field gun was usually available to fill this position.
		Anti-tank gun development soon showed that by far not everything can be achieved by means of gun design, at one point of increasing the muzzle velocity and the weight of shots and shells it was discovered that the intensity of impact shattered the projectile completely even before it could make any impression on the armour.

		the archer was a stopgap design to get as many self propelled 17pdrs into service quickly, it may look a little odd but as a tank destroyer is really an ambush predator it actually had a few rather good points; 1.
		With the tank destroyer you probably meant later war JSU122, but again, it had different main armament to JSII – the gun most commonly employed being of 121.9mm caliber (there were also others).
		Apart from that, pilots often weren’t in position to tell what kind of damage had been occurred with the tanks they attacked on but reported of destroyed tanks (another problem was identification, as more often all sorts of tracked vehicles were classified as tanks by pilots).

		Until the spring of 1941, the main tank and anti-tank (AT) gun used by the British and Canadian armies was the 2-pounder (British guns were frequently named for the weight of projectile they fired).
		By the time of the Normandy invasion in June 1944 the 6-pdr had largely been replaced in tanks and in anti-tank regiments, although it continued to be widely used by the infantry in an anti-tank role.
		Another SP variant was the "Achilles", basically an American M10 tank destroyer substituting the 17-pdr for the original 3-inch anti-aircraft gun.

		Of course, the result of all this was that the US ended up with a tank that got wiped when it had to go up against other tanks, which happened a lot since apparently someone forgot to tell those pesky Germans that you were not supposed to fight tanks with tanks.
		Palmer noted that the representatives from the Tank Destroyer Center were inflexible in their demands, and that they were possibly asking too much in the requirements they put forth.
		FOLLOWING the successful fitting of a 105mm howitzer on the medium tank chassis, plans were made in April 1942 to mount a high velocity gun on the medium chassis to provide a complementary SP vehicle for the Tank Destroyer Command.

		This involved ranging each gun onto the tanks with HE (which would of course not do any damage itself), but once this had been achieved when the Typhoons were ready, coloured smoke was used to mark each tank so the RAF could see them and duly attack them.
		The gun went on to be mounted in the Sherman "Firefly", the Challenger Tank and the Achilles and Archer Tank Destroyers.
		The Wolverine Tank Destroyer was actually the US M10 Tank Destroyer, fitted with the US 76mm anti-tank gun, supplied to the British under the lend-lease agreement, whereas the Achilles was a version of the M10 fitted with the British 17-pdr anti-tank gun, in a modified turret.

		The M36 and M10 had the same mobility, basically, both decent, rugged designs but they combined the thin armour of a fast a nimble tank destroyer with a chassis that was neither fast nor nimble.
		The germans needed the big tanks to combat the russkie heavies, so, whether you like it or not, they were needed.
		Most fields were accessable by infantry only (in july, specifically because of the 'hedgerow problem', allied tanks became equipped with the 'hedgerow clippers' to breach these bocage hedgerows.) Until they were equipped, generally, the only routes available to Allied tanks were the narrow road systems where inevitably a german panzer awaited around every corner.

		In response to an urgent need for an effective tank destroyer mounting the 17 lbr anti-tank gun, British designers developed the Archer SPG, using the Valentine chassis, which was one of the few suitable vehicles in 1942.
		Nevertheless, the Archer gave a good accounting of itself, equipping British AT battalions in Europe from October 1944 until the end of the war.

		One of the prolific Steve Zaloga's latest titles on US armour is this book on the M18 Hellcat tank destroyer, which had the distinction of being the fastest tracked AFV of World War II.
		Spanning a 50 year period, the book begins with a brief review of the controversial US tank destroyer doctrine and ends with the amazing story of M18s in combat during the Balkan wars (complete with psychadelic camouflages and strange modifications, including the T-55/M18 hybrid).
		A few of the 805th TD Battalion photos and the wonderful shot of an Italian M18 being offloaded onto an M19 tank transporter combo are particularly noteworthy, as is the shot of a Taiwanese M18 turret mounted on an M42 Duster chassis!
