The Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesian III was the ultimate development of the Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesian design. A 19-ton machine, it was an incredibly revolutionary design. However, Blohm and Voss, shipbuilders who build the Kaiserliche, wanted to try their hand at building tanks.

It was an ambitious project, with incredibly advanced features such as the use of a radio and a 77mm field gun in a fully rotating turret and a three-man crew. A three-man crew was chosen due to the fact that naval guns of the 88mm caliber had two-man crews, and it was believed that a "captain" will be needed to command both the driver and gun crew.

It featured 30mm of armor in the front, 20mm of armor on the sides, and 10mm of armor elsewhere.

It had a crew of five: commander, gunner, loader, driver, and mechanic. It was powered by a 200hp steam turbine engine, derived from a naval design used in torpedo boats.

The use of Krupp-cemented armor is prevalent on the design. As they had no experience with transmissions or suspension, they used leaf spring suspension based off the Model T, and a transmission system based off the Holt tractor, scaled up and strengthened.

Originally, a pair of machine gun turrets, one facing forwards and one facing backwards, was considered. However, the desire to keep a five-man crew meant that a machine gun was fitted in the turret, aimed alongside the gun's axis of fire. It was envisioned that the gunner and loader would serve as both the machine gun crew and gun crew, alternating when necessary.

The German Army was initially very skeptical of the design due to having so many advanced features for a vehicle of its type. However, it proved incredibly mobile, able to move at speeds of 25mph and was resistant to the French SA 18 gun. Enthusiastic, the German Army ordered 500 machines.

During Operation Hagel, the invasion of France, 150 of these machines were in service. While a minority to the 3,000 LK III light tanks, they were of effect greater than their numbers. Only the Biritish Mk V Male or Hermaphodite had a chance against them.

In combination with traditional Prussian military tactics, these machines proved fearsome.

The machine was developed as T2 by Bandit Shipbuilding, as an alternative to the Army Tank Commission's T1. Artilleryman General John Burns envisioned that the tank be a medium tank with a balance of mobility, firepower, and armor, in order to accomplish any task in the battlefield. To this end, the thirty-ton tank had 60mm of frontal armor, torsion bar suspension, a 75mm cannon, and a 450hp engine. However, his ideas were rejected in favor of the T1 design, known as Light Tank M1.

The Infantry wanted a heavier machine to fill the role the aborted T3 project was supposed to, and thus the T2 became the Medium Tank M2. The "Storm" name was never used in service, and was generally referred to as "Mike Deuce", due to its designation. 150 of these machines were built.

In Paternian Army service, the M2 design proved itself to be superior in all relevant ways to the M1, and the M1 was soon relegated to secondary roles.

For thirty years, the Medium Tank M2 and subsequent upgrades formed the core of the Paternian Army's tank units. It was gradually replaced by the more modern M3 Avenger main battle tank, a far more modern vehicle. It was only until 2065 did the Paternian Army retire the final machine, over 125 years after it first entered service.

Still, the tank would continue to see service in export customers. The last time the Medium Tank M2 took part in combat was during the Mexican Border War, in service of the Chiapas Ejército de Reserva (Chiapas Reserve Army), which had three Medium Tank M2, alongside more modern equipment.

Despite their obsolescence, the vehicles, known as Martin, Maria, and Vincente, were very effective in combat, able to knock out lighter Avaruan armored fighting vehicles and even some tanks. These machines were heavily upgraded; the assistant driver's position has been eliminated to make room for ammunition storage, was rearmed with a 90mm M3A3 railgun, and an M24 machine gun for the commander was added.
