counter attack tank

[oscar989]

anybody notice that on the loading screen on Counterattack the british tank says 'GAMECOCK'?

[The American Way]

Get your mind out of the gutter...

Think 'rooster'

[R4DG aka Run 4 Da Gun]

its so strong that it is comparable to a rooster who is very hard to catch

as the very weak tanks vs that matildaii

With Brit armor it was common for the name of every tank in a Platoon to start with the same letter.

A gamecock is a rooster specifically bred and trained to fight to the death. Actually a lot more relevant than what you're going for.

[KleenexMan]

Its also on the tank itsself.

You mean Troop, not platoon.

The practice wasn't just limited to Tank units, for example:

358 Battery, 90th City of London Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, vehicle names.

A Troop- Achilles, Ajax, Augusta, Attacker II and Apollo* (signals carrier).
B Troop- Beau Fighter, Beau Brummel, Beau Geste.
C Troop- Unknown.
D Troop- Dreadnought, Defiant and Devil's Delight* (OP Tank).
E Troop- Excalibur.
F Troop- Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum.

* All were Sexton 25pdr SPG's except Apollo- a Universal Carrier, and Devil's Delight- a Sherman V OP.
