Auto Credit Based on Supercraft888's M-42a Grimace 115mm cannon variant

Just a better looking version of the original M-42 Grimace. Includes a MUCH better paint job, also a better bayonet, and a much better looking cannon

---instructions---
-AG1 and use VTOL slider to rotate turret
-AG2 and use trim slider to elevate gun

---Lore---
A medium tank designed by the Canadian armed forces, it was designed as a replacement for the current tank that the Canadain forces utilized

It's designed to be cheap to build and operate its also very energy efficient. It's also designed with the safety of the crew in mind to avoid unnecessary casualties. It feature thick 68cm armour at the front and 58mm armour at the sides, it's most glaring weakness is its the back, which only has a measly 40mm thick amour. The M-48 can exceed speeds of 100kmh allowing the tank to safely speed past enemy defenses. It's slanted armour also makes shots easily ricochet off its armour. Many of the standard models utilize a "tank bayonet" for charging and stabbing enemy tanks and buildings, however many operators claim this to cause glare at night giving away positions. The tank is operated by 4 crew members, one person is the commander and radio operator, the second person is the gunner, the third person is the loader, and the fourth person is the driver.

This model utilized the standard 90mm cannon specifically designed to destroy the similarly armoured German and Japanese tanks. Although not as powerful as its 115mm cannon brother, its cannon is much more accurate than the 115mm. It's also features a type 18-10 cylinder engine making this the fastest tank on the allied side, even faster than most light tanks.
