Coenraad, sien wat jy kry met die volgende:
The next problem encountered by Kilbourn was that the gun cradle, the metal block on which the gun sat, had to be shortened to allow the gun to fit into the Firefly, and thus the gun itself was not very stable.
Kilbourn had a new barrel designed for the 17-pounder that had a longer untapered section at the base, which helped solve the stability problem. A new mantlet was designed to house this gun and accept the modified cradle. The Firefly had no armour or mobility advantages over the normal Sherman tank beyond the additional 13 mm of protection added to its mantlet. The modifications were extensive enough that 17-pounders intended for the Firefly had to be factory-built specifically for it.
"Firefly" of Vuurvlieg?
Die volgende probleem was by Kilbourn: die metaal blok waarop die kannon gemonteer was moes verkort word sodat dit in die Vuurvlieg kon pas, dus was die geweer nie baie stabiel nie. Kilbourn het 'n nuwe loop ontwerp met 'n langer ongetappeerde stuk aan die basis, ontwerp, om dit te stabiliseer, asook 'n nuwe mantel waarop dit kon staan. Die "Firefly" het nie wapenrusting gehad nie, en was ook nie meer rats as die Sherman nie, buiten vir hierdie mantel se 13mm beskerming, maar die veranderinge was wel genoeg dat hierdie 17-pond kanonne apart gebou moes word.
