M3 Tank' redirects here. For the M3 Stuart light tank, see M3 Stuart.

The
Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called "General Lee", named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and the modified version built with a new turret was called the "General Grant", named after U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant.

Design commenced in July 1940, and the first "Lees" were operational in late 1941. The U.S. Army needed a good tank and coupled with Great Britain's demand for 3,650 medium tanks immediately, the Lee began production by late 1940. The M3 was well armed and armored for the period, but due to design flaws (high silhouette, archaic sponson mounting of the main gun, below average off-road performance) it was not satisfactory and was withdrawn from front line duty as soon as the M4 Sherman became available in large numbers.

I finally get around to reviewing the M3 Lee, after playing about three games in it a year ago and using free xp to get to the M4 Sherman. Is it any better than it was a year ago? Move over ARL V39, there's a new worst tank in the game! Mods used: Reticle with Reload Timer: www.curse.com "It's a Trap!"
