Product Description

- The M3 medium tank is a tank developed and manufactured in the United States during World War II.
- When the German army's western blitzkrieg began in May 1940, the U.S. Army decided that the 37mm tank guns of its M2A1 medium tanks were not powerful enough, and hurriedly equipped them with 75mm tank guns. Development of a new medium tank has begun.
- At that time, the United States had no experience in developing a tank with a 75mm cannon mounted on a rotating turret.
- As a result, the M3 medium tank has an M275mm cannon on the right side of the hull, a small circling turret with a secondary 37mm cannon on the top of the fighting compartment, and a 7.62mm machine gun on top. It was completed as an irregularly shaped tank with a long cupola attached.
- The M3A4 is a type in which five in-line 6-cylinder gasoline engines produced for buses were replaced with an A57 double-row 30-cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine that was bundled in a star shape. has been extended, and all 109 cars produced were operated for training in the United States.
