M3 Lee

45.5k Sgtk  6.8 years ago

The Wiki: The M3 Lee, officially Medium Tank, M3, was an American medium tank used during World War II. The M3 had considerable firepower and good armor, but had serious drawbacks in its general design and shape, including a high silhouette, an archaic sponson mounting of the main gun preventing the tank from taking a hull-down position, riveted construction, and poor off-road performance. They were extensively used in northern Africa.

This beauty is armed with a main 75mm cannon in the sponson (Ag1+VTOL/TRIM - V to fire), a 37mm with .30 cal mg mounted in the turret (Ag2+VTOL/TRIM - V/Space to fire) and a cupola mounted .30 cal mg on top of that(Ag3+VTOL).

This is the first tank I've ever done, so I know that there is room for improvement, but I hope you enjoy this. I had fun building and testing it. Special thanks to @PhantomBladeCorp for some help with the maneuverability of this beast. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated.

Thank you as always for stopping by to look, and enjoy your ride!!

    Eh, I found it somewhat lacking, in earthunder your turret isn’t just a hit box you can actually use it. @shipster
