MISSION STATEMENT

This website is to serve as a catalog of historical information for various tanks, across various stages of development, created for use by the United States from Pre-WWII through to the 1970s. However, the primary purpose for this website is to illustrate a proposal for what an "endgame" could look like for the US tech tree in the game, World Of Tanks, and to show that there's still plenty of life left to breathed into this game.

My aim is to see as many tanks in the game about tanks as possible, and I hope to show that in a way that respects both the historicity of the tanks shown and the balance of the game overall. As such, I will not be going into great detail on individual statistics. Rather, I will only be showing the possible modules for each tank, changes that could be made to make it more historically authentic, a historical overview, and how the tank's playstyle may be represented in-game. I will also attempt to future-proof this by including alternate hulls, half-tracks, and wheeled vehicles.

This is certainly not perfect and everything is subject to change. This is still a work in progress, and updates are frequent if not daily. This is a fan project and a labor of love. Do enjoy.

T17E3 Car


British requirements in November 1941 included 100 medium armored cars equipped with a 75 mm howitzer. In order to fulfill this, the turret and weapon from an M8 HMC was fitted to a T17E1 and designated as the T17E3. However, by the end of the year, the requirement for such a vehicle had been dropped. Only one pilot had been constructed and further development was terminated.

 In World Of Tanks, this vehicle would play like the M5 Stuart of old, when that vehicle still had a howitzer as an option way back when. We can also give it the 75 mm Gun M3 from the M8A1 as it, and the M8 HMC, are closely connected. This would give the T17E3 a decent non-derp option for what it is. It would be a silly little thing that could zip in and out of battle slap somebody for a small amount of damage.
