Top speed was limited to 32mph to avoid the problems faced by the faster Cromwell, but it was still faster than many of its contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comet’s main gun was developed from the successful 17–pdr, being the same 76.2mm calibre. It was officially known as the 77mm high velocity (HV) to avoid confusion between the two types. Comets were issued to front line units in December 1944 seeing action to the end of WWII by which time 1,200 had been produced. The Comet served in the Korean War, remaining in British service until 1958. Subequently sold to several other countries, it remained in service into the 1980s!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied Unpainted \u0026amp; Unassembled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40448672759854,"sku":"405101001","price":28.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/1947\/4990\/files\/405101001_A34Cometmediumtank08.webp?v=1696252270","url":"https:\/\/www.goblingaming.co.uk\/da\/products\/bolt-action-a34-comet-medium-tank","provider":"Goblin Gaming","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
