I recently just started playing the USSR, and noticed that one of the premium tanks shown in the vehicle list menu is a lend lease M3. However when I checked the premium squads in the research tree, I didn’t notice it there…
Old premium, was removed from sale a while ago
Oh, bummer…
Pre-merge premium for Moscow campaign i think. It’s not really good anymore since they removed zoom from the commander so you can’t really see enemy tanks that well plus it only has solid AP shells + HE + Smoke with no option for APCBC. It’s still great against infantry but once Panzer/Puma spots you then you may as well close your eyes and wait for inevitable.
Still funny, it’s rate of fire is so ludicrous (because there’s 2 canons firing), that most of the time you can wreck the enemy vehicle before it can shoot at you, merely by crippling and breaking all it’s components
Then the enemy crew gets out… but the vehicle ALSO have 2 lmgs
It’s not to be underestimated.
If it’s so wonky, maybe it should be added back as BR 1, lol. Still a cool looking tank though.
If you really want to play the M3 Medium, you can find it in the US/UK tech tree.
Oh also, basically the ex premium Soviet M3, the Lee, is now rightfully in a folder under the Grant.
Basically the Lee got a machine gun turret on top of a gun turret on top of a gun casemate…
(Engineers conceiving it)
“Hey guys, what do you say about MORE guns?”
“More?”
“More. Yes.”
It’s really not wonky… it’s a hedgehog of guns. If it’s placed correctly, and has a crew with fast reload perk… the panzer in front will get dinged so badly it’s cannon, tracks, breech, mgs… all will get destroyed in a very short time (if poor Panzer does not explode outright)
