Desert warfare is cool

TM31 successor

fictional story:

The "Wasteland Cruiser", as it became known to the tank's crew, was a high-quality tank designed for Tunisian desert warfare. It was a tank that was of higher quality than the Shermans, but there wasn't that much. It became popular with the crews for having a much better cannon than the Sherman,having a lower profile.and it was much better in the desert.
BUT, it had some flaws:
It tended to get VERY cold inside if operated on at night.
The crew was somewhat cramped
The cannon barrel was short-lived

With the end of the North African campaign, the tank was successfully adapted to operate elsewhere. Few went to Normandy, but those who did stayed there until the end of World War II.

When the war ended, it was exported a lot to other countries. And it was used in its home country until 1963, and then it was used as a training tank and stayed there until 2002

Features

A very different suspencion ( kinda christie)
Good cannon
Nofferston's damage model
Realistic
Has low part count, so can be used with tier IV also by Nofferston

designer message

Okay I finally finished him! this tank was a lot of fun to design (especially the suspension!).
I did a lot of things i think is cool.

For some reason, I think desert warfare is really cool, just think: Imagine how cool it must be for you to be crossing the desert in a Crusader III waiting for the enemy to attack while going to a strategic position?

    If cannon elevation doesn't work, it's a connection issue that happens if you edit the turret shape, sorry

    I forgot to put the controls

    AG1 for move the tank, and AG2 to move the turret.
    to shoot while moving release AG1 while accelerating and then activate AG2.

    If you drived nofferston's tanks u know what i mean
