Strathmoor Medium Tank

The Strathmoor Medium Tank owes its fame to one sole quality: its numbers. Easy, cheap and fast to produce.
== History ==
The tank is named after the Vinland Civil War general, Brennan Strathmoor, who famously bypassed Confederate armies and forts while living off the land to drive deep into the South. The Sherman was first developed some time during the Europan war as the High Command of United States forces saw the extensive use of tanks in Europa and realized reliable, numerous tanks were needed to maintain a mobile, deep-striking force.
The Sherman tank is the mainstay of most Vinland armored divisions and is regarded as a solid vehicle with great flexibility in terms of deployment. Although not particularly well armed or armored, the Strathmoor was designed and built with reliability and versatility in mind. Its armament, a 75mm cannon, has the tremendous luxury of a gyroscopic stabilizer that increases accuracy while moving. The engine can muscle through the worst nature can throw at it, and can run on common gasoline or even aviation fuel. Although thinner than its crews would prefer, the Strathmoor's hull is strong enough to withstand the majority of weapons employed by the enemies of the Vinland, while being almost entirely a single casting makes it simple to mass produce.
Its side and rear armor are naturally thinner to reduce the strain on the tank's engine. This characteristic does make the Strathmoor vulnerable to assault from these angles, requiring infantry support, other tanks or very careful operation to protect the vehicle. The Strathmoor can perform to its optimum capabilities when all of these elements are combined during an Federal armored advance.
The Strathmoor is crewed by five crewmen; a commander, gunner, loader, radio operator and driver. While similar vehicles in other nations have four man crews, Strathmoor tanks enjoy an extra pair of eyes in combat and hands during maintenance tasks. These men are selected from mechanically-minded enlistees or men used to loud, cramped spaces such as the Vinland's mines and factories. For four weeks the hills, fields and forests of Kentucky host the crews as instructors teach how to change tracks, remove engines using log A-frames and blast apart bunkers on the firing line.
