Turn Premium Soviet M3 Lee into the APC

The Soviets euphemistically called it a “grave for six men” and their Lee tanks were relegated to the secondary fronts or repurposed as armoured personnel carriers

Tank crew should stay the same but add APC ability to let your team and yourself to spawn inside/near your tank.

Common thing in ww2 that soldiers did to protect themselves from mines.
It doesn’t mean those tanks are APCs.

It would be disgusting powercreep to remaking tnaks into APCs.
Classic tanks would be pointless to play. Especially since m3 lee is literally on of the best BR2 tanks.

Except those were used as the APC since T-34/KV-1/IS-1/IS-2 were superior in every single way. Hell even M4 made M3 obsolete.

Not many tanks were used the same way as that one. They don’t need to nerf or buff anything just add ability to spawn friendlies at your location just a single change in the game files.

The M3 was literally already developed with the idea that it was obsolete. And during the development of the m4. They just needed something to fill the gap.

None of those tanks you listed above are on the br2. :slight_smile:

Make a new m3 lee as apc, put it to on BR4. That would be adequate.

Literally nobody was using m3 lee as an apc during battle of Moscow.

say that to the Germans playing at BR1-2 and seeing T-34 every single match :rofl:

Yeah because they were more than fine against Pz3 and Pz4 but after Kursk they used them as the backup vehicles and APCs because they were completely outdated

HAHA well my country is everything but free they hate western influence on their youth and thus banned it

Can we stop trying to turn everything into an APC especially if it’s with tanks Otherwise when the mouse finally comes out we may as well say that’s an APC too

In fact, many countries have banned it

Unless there’s a cart behind these tanks
Otherwise they are not suitable as transport vehicles

I can understand the LVT being an APC, but an M3 Lee? I don’t see that happening.

Remember a clip that mentioned the M3 lee in soviet testing could cram ~20 assaulters into its hull with ammo removed? They considered it a terrible ergonomic design (just like giant German barn-sized tanks) due to the massive waste of internal space for no good reason.

I could see it being relegated to APC role as Canadian Kangaroo tanks (with M7 priest, Ram tank hulls). But likely some/all of the cannons are not going to be working/ need to be removed.

Id keep M3 as is since it did serve as a medium lend lease. Maybe add a secondary M3 tankodesantniki as event vehicle etc.

infantry on the outside of a tank free points

Instead of trying to turn every tank into apc why cant we just let infantry climb on top of our tanks? The tanker would get 10-15 points per every soldier that it transports
