Gale Force NineWorld of Tanks: Wave 3 Platoons -
AMERICAN
M4AI Sherman (76mm)
The M4 Sherman tank was extensively used throughout World War II and as the war progressed was upgraded with the effective 76mm gun, capable of knocking out the increasingly heavily armored enemy tanks. With a reliable set of base stats, the Sherman is ready for any job on the battlefield.
M7 Priest (SPG)
Initially deployed in the deserts of North Africa, M7 Priests continued to see action through to the Korean War where the flexibility of self-propelled guns was an asset. Best when deployed out of the enemy’s sight, SPGs can rain shells down on enemy targets with impunity assuming there is a friendly tank to spot for them.
M18 Hellcat (Tank Destroyer)
The Hellcat was the most effective U.S. tank destroyer of World War II with a higher kill to loss ratio than any other tank or tank destroyer. Combining good Firepower with excellent Mobility and Initiative, it is the perfect choice for aggressive Platoon Commanders that like to hunt down their enemies.
BRITISH
Comet (Medium Tank)
First deployed during the invasion of Germany, the Comet tank continued the successful line of British cruiser tanks, combining speed with the effective 77mm high velocity gun. With great Mobility and Survivability for a Medium tank, it is a fearsome package even without Upgrades or Crew.
Sexton II (SPG)
Canadian designed, and mounting the reliable Ordnance QF 25-pounder gun, the Sexton gave British forces in the desert a reliable source of artillery fire during highly mobile battles. Capable of lobbing high explosive shells across the battlefield, the Sexton II can force enemy tanks from their positions, as well as stunning their crews.
Archer (Tank Destroyer)
Built on the chassis of the Valentine tank, the Archer mounted the powerful but heavy 17-pounder gun. The vehicle was unusual in that its gun faced the rear of the chassis instead of the front. Thanks to the low cost of the Archer, it is easy to fit one of these high Firepower Tank Destroyers into a Platoon.
GERMAN
Tiger II (Heavy Tank)
Deployed in Heavy Tank Battalions, the Tiger II had an edge over Allied tanks thanks to its heavy armour and powerful long-range gun. Despite having outstanding Firepower and Survivability, the resilience of the Tiger II can be further improved, allowing it to inflict the maximum amount of damage.
Hummel (SPG)
During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, it became clear that a mobile artillery piece capable of keeping up with tanks’ high speed advances was needed. The Hummel is the most powerful Self-propelled Gun on the battlefield and can even be used like a tank in emergencies.
Jagdtiger (Tank Destroyer)
The 72-tonne Jagdtiger was the heaviest combat vehicle produced during World War II and could out-range and defeat any tank fielded by the Allied forces. With top-of-the-line Firepower, Hit Points, and Survivability, the only weakness of the Jagdtiger is the risk of being flanked by enemies.
SOVIET
T-34-85 (Medium Tank)
An upgraded version of the revolutionary T-34 tank, this version featured an 85mm gun. A great all-round tank, the T-34-85 is ideal for brawling with enemies where its Mobility, Initiative, and Firepower can allow it to triumph over much larger enemies.
SU-76M (Tank Destroyer)
The SU-76M paired a T-70 tank with the widely used 76mm ZiS-3 gun, making for a simple and effective support vehicle. The SU-76M is a capable Tank Destroyer, most effective when used in conjunction with other tanks. The SU-76M also comes with the option to upgrade to the SU-122A Self-propelled Gun.
SU-85 (Tank Destroyer)
Built on the chassis of a T-34, the SU-85 retains the mobility of its famous predecessor whilst mounting a much more powerful gun. High Firepower and Mobility gives Platoon Commanders the option of watching the SU-85 slug it out from cover, or quickly reposition to a better position.
