Lee M3 Cannon

Longer derivative of the M2. Equipped American and British vehicles such as the M4 Sherman, the later models of the M3 Lee and the Churchill III/IV NA75 (scavenged from Sherman tanks in the North African theatre). The US Army also experimented with mounting the M3 on various wheeled carriages for use as anti-tank gun, but the program was cancelled due to a lack of requirement.[6]

The M3Lee/Grant had at least 5/6 models of lee and 1/2 models of grant. depending if you call it the lee 6 or the Grant 2 tank. The Grant/Lee was armed with the M5/6 37MM and the M2/3 cannon. The shorter barrel m2 cannon is in game while the longer barreled m3 is not. The grant and lee are good tanks for decent armor and a large crew. the large size and hull mounted main gun are less good.

With all the Shermans in game it is insane that we have 1 lee and one grant 2 of 7 tanks. might as well throw in the m6 37mm cannon just to keep the m3 cannon. for a series of tanks that carried the american flag before the wide spread use of the m4 its a shame it has so little presence in war thunder and enlisted. if possible my choice would be the M3A4 its a late model lee with a trim low profile rear.

I’ve been wanting to push through the introduction of a more advanced version of the m3 Lee for a long time
But the Soviets should also be given one cannon
