Description
Not sure if this one has been on here before or not.
Looks like the open top Hellcat turret...
It is. The thing was made by mounting a Hellcat's turret onto a M42 Duster's chassis.
Why would anyone do that?
Because the the M18 chassis that Taiwan had were old and beyond repair but the turrets salvageable. They also had a surplus of extra M42 chassis for some reason so instead of just scrapping them all they made about 50 or so of these into cavalry tanks to supplement their existing tanks back during the Cold war.

I think it's pretty nifty. Not sure how effective it would have been in combat but whatever. It's also a playable premium tank in WoT so that's about as close as you'll ever get to seeing them in combat.
Type 64 Light Tank.
Yes, and anyone can use Google Search mate.
Or you can just play World of Tanks
