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.

Experimental SPH


The T41 light tank served as the basis for numerous self-propelled howitzers. One of these designs had no superstructure, which greatly reduced the weight, but eliminated all armor protection for the crew.

 I would imagine this vehicle would simply play as a more mobile M44 on account of its weight. The reduced profile would certainly make it harder to hit, improve its camo rating, and improve the crew characteristics.



Guns: 155 mm Howitzer T97E1

Engines: Continental AOS-895-3 (500 hp)

Suspensions/Alternate Hulls, Total Weight (metric tons): Experimental T41 SPH (??)

Hull Armor (mm): 13/13/13

Top Speed: 56 km/h

Crew: 5 (Driver; Gunner; Loader; Commander; Radio)
