I just got CD-220D, the m4a3 easy eight pack from Old Glory…… But is says it can make only 2 easy eights, and comes with 5 turrets for the 3 hulls.

Which two,turrets are the easy eight ones?!

M4A3E8s had the T-23 turret with the long 76mm cannon. There were also howitzer versions too, using the old 75mm style turret, but mounting a short 105mm cannon.

"Easy eight" however, refers to the HVSS suspension ("easy eight" referring to both the E8 designator and the smoother ride). So the question is: do you want a traditional gun tank (which would be the 76mm turret) or howitzer support tanks?

Err…. so the bag comes with 5 turrets and 3 hulls. And of course 7 barrels for the main gun, 3 different kinds!

2 each of turrets similar to the Dragon Early and Late:

Very confused
