World of Tanks Console: Mark I 100th Anniversary 2 Kills Flamethrower!
819British heavy tank Mark I 100th Anniversary, 2 Kills. Flamethrower!
British heavy tank The Mark I entered service in August 1916, and was first used in action on the morning of 15 September 1916 during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, part of the Somme Offensive.[4] With the exception of the few interim Mark II and Mark III tanks, it was followed by the largely similar Mark IV, which first saw combat in June 1917. The Mark IV was used en masse (about 460 tanks) at the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917. The Mark V, with its much improved transmission, entered service in mid-1918.
The unusual rhomboidal shape was to give as long a track run as possible to allow for crossing the wide trenches prevalent on the Western Front battlefields. The heavy tanks were designated "male" or "female" according to the type of armament they carried in the sponsons fitted to their sides. The prototype mounted a 6-pounder (57 mm) cannon and a Hotchkiss machine gun in each. The designers were concerned that the slow-moving vehicles would be vulnerable to attack by enemy infantry, and decided that dedicated anti-personnel weaponry was necessary. Case-shot was not available for the 6-pounder guns, so it was decided to design a new sponson that would instead house two Vickers guns. Tanks fitted with the new design were designated "female", and those with the protruding 6-pounder, "male". This had the side-effect of making the prototype "Mother" a "male".
