The M7 Howitzer Motor Carriage (HMC), commonly known as the M7 Priest, was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle used extensively during World War II and the Korean War. It was developed to provide mobile fire support that could keep pace with armored divisions.
Design and Origin
- Chassis Base: Initially built on the chassis of the M3 Lee medium tank. Later variants utilized the improved M4 Sherman tank chassis.
- Nickname Origin: British troops dubbed it the “Priest” due to the ring-mounted machine gun position, which resembled a pulpit.
- Design Feature: It was characterized by an open-topped superstructure, which gave the crew easy access to the main gun but offered limited protection from shell fragments and shrapnel.
- 角色： Provided indirect long-range fire support (artillery) and direct fire support for infantry and armor.
