M3 Lee

==Lore==
Before World War 2 the US military industry had little experience in design as well as poor doctrine to guide tank design efforts, this was a problem during the start of the war since the United States and its allies urgently needed armored vehicles leading to the development of the Medium tank, M3. Unlike most tanks the Medium Tank, M3 have 2 main armaments, A 75mm M2 gun in an offset sponson mount and the 37mm M6 gun in a small turret, this is because the tank plans did not have the design experience necessary to design and manufacture a turret capable of holding the weight and recoil of a 75 mm weaponArmored Thunderbolt: The U.S. Army Sherman in World War II - Steven Zaloga, Stackpole Books, 22 Sep 2008. The Medium tank, M3 was a lend lease stop gap before a proper medium tank can be mass produced. The Medium Tank, M3 was also used and modified by the United Kingdom and the CommonwealthMedium Tank M3 Lee/Grant - David.B, The Online Tank Encyclopedia, 28 November 2014.
