Initially developed to overcome the more heavily German tanks encountered by the British during the North African campaign; the 17-pdr was used from 1942 onwards throughout Europe and in Africa. It was the most formidable anti-tank gun developed by the western Allies; and was capable of penetrating over 200mm of armour at short range! It was however very bulky; so make sure to add a quad tractor to ease transportation.
Canadian and other Commonwealth troops also used this formidable gun.
