Deerhound / Staghound edit

I think the current name of the article - T17 Staghound - is a bit misleading. There was no T17 Staghound. There was T17 Deerhound and T17E1 Staghound. Perhaps it will be better to return to the T17 Armored Car ? Or to use something like T17 Deerhound / Staghound ? Or should the article be splitted considering that the two were different - albeit similar - vehicles ? Bukvoed 21:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. This way seems ambigious now. Oberiko 23:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
This is now completely obscure, at least from a British point of view. I am very familiar with the Staghound in British service but I would have no idea it was called the T17E1 (by whom? The British army doesn't use numbers and it did not serve in US forces).
Isn't the Deerhound a different vehicle?Cyclopaedic (talk) 20:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Staghound was also used by Polish Army in Italy 1944/1945 . Best regards Marcin.

I'm going to propose we move this to "T-17E1 Staghound", since the Deerhound was also known as T-17 and this article is almost wholly concerned with the T-17E1. Furthermore, "Staghound" was the designation used by the majority of the vehicle's operators, which were Commonwealth countries in the main. Since that is the most common description given for this particular armored car, it should be given at least equal recognition with the official American "T17" terminology. --Katangais (talk) 20:02, 28 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Some info about existing (decaying) Staghounds edit

At VJTI (Victoria Jubilee Technical Inststute), Mumbai, India, there are decaying hulks of 4 Staghounds. For more information check out http://ramrao2.tripod.com/staghound/. Maybe info from this could be incorporated into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.110.125.251 (talk) 19:27, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
