		Mark IX The Mark IX was a troop carrier or infantry supply vehicle - among the first tracked Armoured personnel carrier not counting experiments with the lengthened Mk V's.
		Mark IV tanks were used at the Third Battle of Ypres (Passchendaele) in Mid 1917, but without great success due to the mud.

		The front and side armour was increased to 16 mm respective 12mm, and the petrol tanks were relocated to the back of the vehicle, and was thus separated from the crew.
		The Mk IV was used in the futile and terrible fighting around Passchendaele in the latter part of 1917, but not to any noticable effect, as these heavy vehicles more often than not simply got stuck in the mud that was the battlefield.
		Tanks from three batallions tried to take the village of Fontaine-Notre-Dame, but was encountered by a battery of German AA-guns, mounted on lorries, which met the slow-moving tanks with accurate and deadly fire.

	Allied armour of WW1; where it began
		Tanks were first developed by the British as a sort of mobile pillbox that could advance forward under withering machine gun fire to crush wire and obstacles and to provide fire support for advancing infantry.
		The tank, a revolutionary new weapon system, born of General Swinton's vision, was to break the stalemate of trench warfare and the dominance of the machine gun of the battlefields of Flanders sixteen years later.
		The present Royal Tank Regiment, composed of two regular regiments, is the direct heir to the original armoured car pioneers of 1914, the Naval Brigade and the RNAS squadron which augmented the British Expeditionary Forces for the defence of Antwerp in August of that year.

		The Ist Royal Tank Regiment was composed of nineteen cruisers and fifteen light tanks; and the 4th Royal 'Tank Regiment was comprised of a troop of four Mark II Matilda (infantry) tanks.
		Tanks rarely fire while moving, although in at least one instance they were used to fire a rolling barrage at from 3,000 to 4,000 yards while advancing slowly.
		In a defensive situation the Mark IV is able to engage British troops from outside the range of the antitank guns, avoiding at the same time, by their mobility, the British artillery fire.

		It was the main American battle tank in the immediate postwar period and for the first part of the Korean War, eventually being replaced by the M48 Patton.
		Overall the two tanks were evenly matched, but the Pershing's mobility was somewhat neutralized because the Panther often fired from stationary and sometimes dug in positions whereas the Pershing was usually moving on the offensive."
		The 3rd Armored Division was on the move, and the unit the tank was in could not afford the luxury of stopping to see results.

	Great Britain's Light Tanks
		Having a strong resemblance to the British Light Tank Mark IV of WW2 North Africa fame, the main difference was in the shape of the turret, and the suspension.
		The Mark IIB was equipped with one large tank mounted toward the rear.
		This tank was built a bit on the heavy side of light tanks of the period as it came complete with a 37mm main gun and five.30cal machine guns (what other "light" tank can claim that).

		The first tank on tank fight in history took place on 24 April 1918 occurred when three A7V tanks incidentally met three Mark IV (tank)s near Villers-Bretonneux.
		The A7V tanks won the battle, due to the superior armor and speed of the A7V.

		However, the location where the tank was found is in the sectors covered by both D and E Bns on 20th November, so it may be some time before we conclusively know the identity of the tank.
		It was therefore presumed that given the damage to the tank in the picture was identical to the tank found, then this tank must be D51.
		Tanks were salvaged by both sides in 1917 - and despite the damage to the vehicle both sponsons were intact, as was the engine.

		Having done his best to weaken the power of our defense by the fire of his Mark IV tanks and artillery, he opens a strong attack with his Mark III tanks, followed by motorized infantry and guns, and advances on his objective.
		If one of the enemy's Mark III tank columns succeeds in penetrating any part of our defenses and establishing a fairly good position, motorized infantry is then moved forward to within a few hundred yards of the position.

		The tank, the new British wonder weapon was thrown in to break the stalemate but proved itself patently unable to cope with the horrendous conditions.
		Initially the three brigades of Mark IV tanks would be supported by six infantry (12th, 20th, 6th, 51st, 62nd and 36th) and three cavalry (1st, 2nd, 5th) divisions.
		The tanks would crush the barbed wire flat, but to make sure that wire up to 50 yards deep was effectively cleared, special hook-like grapnels were attached to the rear of 32 tanks to hook and gather up the wire into great skeins and snap/drag it aside.

		True there was an action between and A7V and three Mark IV tanks at Villers-Bretonneux in April 1918 but the A7V damaged the two female tanks and drove them off the battlefield before Frank Mitchell’s male tank took revenge.
		Indeed Mitchell himself tells us, in his book Tank Warfare that from about January 1917 onwards instructions came round that camouflage was to be painted over and that in future all tanks would be a medium brown colour.

	628 Tank Destroyer Battalion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The artillery fire was such as to confine tank crews to their tanks for hours at a time and air bursts and shrapnel caused many casualties to the men in the open M-36 turrets.
		Moser, Tank Destroyer Gun Commander, permitted the leading enemy vehicles to come up to 25 yards of his position before opening fire and then in quick succession knocked out the first two tanks at almost point blank range, both of which were later identified as Mark V's.
		In addition to these tanks, the Battalion also received credit for destroying one 88 mm towed gun, two armored vehicles, one half-track, one machine gun nest, one bazooka and an OP in a stonehouse; inflicted approximately 75 casualties of which 54 were known dead, and captured 41 prisoners of war.

	Digital Jesters Forum - Some little bad choice about realism - I think-
		The only tanks that ever outclassed the germans were Russian designs, which would've handily been destroyued by late production Pantherjadgers and Jagdtigers had the German the logistics and resources to produce the number of tanks they needed.
		The tank had definitely good armor and a great gun, and in head-to-head duels, it outclassed most allied tanks (except for the russian ones), but if you look at the larger context of its manufature and the alternatives proposed, you will see why many historians would disagree with you.
		Albert Speer talks about the design process of the tiger and how hitler himself insisted on a super tank that would be -in his view- invulnerable/destructive and kept adding tons to the initial design (closer to what the panther became) to the dismay of the generals and designers.

		Above the noise of bursting shells, the machine-guns of the tank were heard to open, simultaneously.
		We thought these tanks were going to win the war, and certainly they helped to do so, but there were too few of them, and the secret was let out before they were produced in large numbers.
		However, the fact that the tanks had now been raised to such a pitch of technical perfection that they could cross our undamaged trenches and obstacles did not fail to have a marked effect on our troops.

	MOH Citation for Clyde L. Choate
		Completing the search and seeing the tank and its supporting infantry overrunning our infantry in their shallow foxholes, he secured a bazooka and ran after the tank, dodging from tree to tree and passing through the enemy's loose skirmish line.
		With his pistol he killed 2 of the crew as they emerged from the tank; and then running to the crippled Mark IV while enemy infantry sniped at him, he dropped a grenade inside the tank and completed its destruction.
		S/Sgt. Choate's great daring in assaulting an enemy tank single-handed, his determination to follow the vehicle after it had passed his position, and his skill and crushing thoroughness in the attack prevented the enemy from capturing a battalion command post and turned a probable defeat into a tactical success.
