The M3 satan was a stuart that had it's main gun removed.

The sherman in the pacific started as converted tank, the flame thrower projector is fitted into the of the main gun. It was only till later that a projector was fitted coax to the main gun.

In the case of the stuart M3 Satan the list still has the main gun and in the sherman varient the list for US Far east, only the later varient of the sherman is listed. Should there be another version for the Sherman without a main gun?

We need the Matilda II Frog flame tank in the list as well. And the Mitilda Hedgehog (used to drive into bunker postions and fire off converted naval depth charges). Both tanks were used right up to the end of the war.

pbeccas - not proper depth charges! they're 60lb rockets with impact fuses - the same as fired by the Typhoon?

So Pete were there enought Matilda Frogs built to just having them added to the British/commonwealth list for the Far? and are you willing to ammend the stats at the very least for the M3 satan, which should not have an AT value as is has no main gun. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Stuart.
