M3 Blitzer

The M3A5 Blitzer is the primary ACF Main Battle Tank of the Assault Expeditionary Force. It is a balanced well rounded platform designed for armored ground warfare.
== Development ==
 The M3 Blitzer was developed during the first IZK - AEF War in an effort to get a functional armored vehicle produced domestically. The M3 Blitzer development was fronted by Leningrad. Adaptations before the NRK - AEF War (Operation Snowguard) gave the vehicle improved firepower, mobility, and protection, along with aesthetic upgrades. Being superior to NRK tanks of the era, very few M3 tanks were lost through enemy fire. Upgrades after the war aimed to improve the tank's engines but were cut short due to spatial limitations and the ACF Turbine Nerf.
== AEF Service History ==
The M3 prototype (now designated XM3) saw extremely limited deployment to ACF sandbox servers for testing during the Summer of 2018. The original M3 was never used in combat against Izakia. The XM3 was to be equipped with six antitank missiles mounted in a compartment in the rear turret. This design was later scrapped.
The updated version of the Blitzer, the M3A2 was deployed on Buuf's, Trump's Hair and 2070 during the NRK - AEF war. Four M3A2s were lost— all to enemy fire. Later variants would make an effort to improve survivability against HE spam that was employed by NRK forces at the time and proved highly effective against the M3A2.
