Experimental SPH


The T41 light tank served as the basis for numerous self-propelled howitzers. One of these designs had no superstructure, which greatly reduced the weight, but eliminated all armor protection for the crew.

I would imagine this vehicle would simply play as a more mobile M44 on account of its weight. The reduced profile would certainly make it harder to hit, improve its camo rating, and improve the crew characteristics.
