Can you give the U.S. Army a M3A1 half-track?


How many months have passed since the M3A1 was given to the Soviet Army? Despite it being an American truck, there is still no American military version.
I pulled my M13MGMC out of storage again, which I stopped using a long time ago to distract myself from my loneliness, and have been driving it around here and there, but I still want to transport troops.
Why not sell the M3A1 Premier squad for the US?

Btw, I am not a native English speaker.
is “Half-track” spelled correctly as “Half-track”?
I thought it was “Half Truck” because it is the front half of the truck. What is “Track”?
Everybody samurai sushi geisya!

In the front are wheels, in the back are tracks.

The craziest part about this is that the Americans could have gotten an M13 MGMC without guns, and the Americans would’ve had a regular half-track like the Germans.

Japan could’ve had a Type 1 Ho Ki

Russians could’ve had a ZIS-22 half-track

So, do you guys call this a “Track” in English?
In Japanese-English this is called “Caterpillar”.

So, “Half-Track” is Half Track because the back half is Track?
Not “Half-Truck” because the front half is Truck?
Well, if the moderators call it a “Track”…
ok-alright-then

It’s just that there is a difference in brain size between us cats and you.

Thanks everyone for the explanation about Track. I totally understand it now. I will try to teach the Japanese who have the same misunderstanding what Track means.

Joking aside, I really want an M3A1 for the US.
As a US faction player, the LVT was great, but the M3A1 fits the atmosphere better than the LVT to bring to the Battle of the Bulge.
Just paint the Stars on the Soviet one and sell it for $40. Please Darkflow!!!

Actually, Caterpillar is the brand of the whole machine.
“Cat” for short, you should like that :smile:

I had a Hungarian gf and tried to learn her language.
But it’s one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn (at least when you are European like me).
I do speak 5 languages but Hungarian was too much.
