About the 17 Pounder – Anti-Tank Gun:

Equipped on a number of British tanks as well as its own carriage, the Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder (17-pdr) outperformed nearly all other Allied armor-piercing guns. Seeing combat for the first time in Tunisia at the end of 1942, the 17-pdr was a major upgrade from its 6-pdr predecessor. By 1945, the 17-pdr was the mainstay anti-tank gun of the British Army and was utilized into the 1950s and beyond by other nations.
