I think he was referring rather to the 3" howitzer first Churchills used to have in hte front of the hull and which proved quite useless so it was in later models replacet by the BMG. But I'm not sure.arethusa wrote: ...
The Churchill IV's with the 75mm(I think that must be what you mean by a 3" since I couldn't find any with that gun, 3" actually works out to 76.2mm), didn't come in until 1943. By then they were facing Tigers so it seemed to be still a game of catch-up for the Brits.
BTW was there ever any project of arming a Churchill with the 17pdr?
