UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HEAVY TANKS M26 Pershing The M26 Pershing Heavy Tank was introduced after

long production delays in mid-1945. Initially unreliable and prone to mechanical faults, continued combat operations have led to several improvements and has made the tank a staple of the US Armoured Regiments. With a tank comparable to the German Panther, parity has been restored on the European battlefield.

MEDIUM TANKS M4A3 Sherman (76mm) Although the Sherman is now largely obsolete, thousands remain in serviceable condition and are used within infantry battlegroups for anti-tank support. The 76mm gun is a workable anti-tank solution, if more firepower is required the GIs can call on the Armoured Regiments Pershing heavy tanks.

M4A9 Sherman-T As an easy platform to modify, the Sherman formed the test bed for much of the new weaponry deriving from the rift technologies (RiftTech). The first successful new weapon derived from the new RiftTech was an electrical cannon powered from the vehicles enhance electro-diesel powerpack. The weapon provides a mid to short range, flexible capability and is a popular weapon with the infantry it supports.

LIGHT TANKS M5A1 Stuart

Used in the recce role and for infantry fire support as their main cannon could not compete with heavier enemy armoured fighting vehicles. However, the Stuart was still effective in combat in the Pacific Theatre, as Japanese and Chinese tanks were both relatively rare and were lighter in armour than even Allied light tanks

M10 Wolverine Tank Destroyer Not really a light tank as a fast anti-tank vehicle. US doctrine saw heavily gunned but agile AFVs hunt down enemy tanks without getting into protracted exchanges. The doctrine worked well on occasions but the vehicles were vulnerable when surprised or out manoeuvred themselves. The M10 was built from a Sherman hull and has largely been replaced by either the 76mm Sherman or the M18 Hellcat.

Armed with the dated but proven 75mm gun and a .50 HMG, the Grizzly is versatile and adaptable. More useful are perhaps the powerful arms that can smash tanks and clear obstacles.

M8A6 KODIAK Assault Mech As the US deployed more and more mechs into urban or close quarter battle situations, it found a need for rapid firing light weapons rather than a more conventional 75mm gun.

GERMANY HEAVY TANKS TIGER II (KONIGSTIGER) The Tiger II was designed to be the ultimate heavy tank and a game-changer on the battlefield. It is impressive but poor reliability and an underpowered engine have plagued its use in battle. Despite improvements, the tank is expensive to produce and an increased reliance on the more numerous Panther tanks and the heavy Zeus walkers has been the inevitable result.

TIGER (Panzer VI) Although the Tiger has been in combat for over seven years, it still has an impact on any battle it is involved in.

Mechpanzer ZEUS As a sister design to the Thor, the Wehrmacht sought to develop a tank-killing variant of the walker, combining the AT capability of the anther and Tiger with the resilience and manoeuvrability of the Thor.

Mechpanzer SPINNE As the German army developed its heavy infantry tactics, they identified the need for a fire support platform that could handle the terrain like infantry but was resilient enough to withstand enemy small arms and light weapons. The result was the Spider or Spinne. Reasonably armoured, but open turreted for visibility, the Spinnes autocannons lend the heavy infantry it supports the necessary firepower. The success of the Spinne has also seen it adopted in the recce role, replacing less agile armoured cars and light tanks.
