The M3 brought much-needed firepower to British forces in the North African desert campaign. Several of these new "Grant" tanks would also be equipped with sand shields for action in North Africa, though they often fell off. Overall, the M3 was able to be effective on the battlefield from 1942 until 1943. Following Operation Torch (the invasion of French North Africa), the U.S. also fought in North Africa using the M3 Lee. The British had requested that their Matilda II infantry tank and Crusader cruiser tank designs be made by American factories, but this request was refused. A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack. The turret was to be given thicker armor plate than in the original U.S. design, and the machine gun cupola was to be replaced with a simple hatch. The M3 was tall and roomy: the power transmission ran through the crew compartment under the turret basket to the gearbox driving the front sprockets. In each case, two weapons were mounted to give the tanks adequate capability in firing both anti-personnel high explosive and canister ammunition and armor-piercing ammunition for anti-tank combat. A marksman living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the President. The 37 mm gun also featured a counterweight – a long rod under the barrel – though it was ill maintained by crews who knew little about its use. With Mark Wahlberg, Michael Peña, Rhona Mitra, Danny Glover. In the Pacific Ocean Theater and the Southwest Pacific Theater, the U.S. Army deployed none of its dedicated armored divisions and only a third of its 70 other separate tank battalions. 13 vehicles built in 1949 on M3A5 chassis in a conversion very similar to the Canadian Sexton. In addition, the use of riveted hull superstructure armor on the early versions led to spalling, where the impact of enemy shells caused the rivets to break off and become projectiles inside the tank. The M3 was also vastly superior to the Fiat M13/40 and M14/41 tanks employed by the Italian troops, whose 47 mm gun was effective only at point-blank range, while only the few Semoventi da 75/18 self-propelled guns were able to destroy it using HEAT rounds. Clash of The Titans (2010) Dual Audio BRRip 650MB. The design was unusual because the main weapon – a larger caliber, medium-velocity 75 mm gun – was in an offset sponson mounted in the hull with limited traverse. The prototype was completed in March 1941 and production models followed, with the first British-specification tanks produced in July. However, most of the M3s ordered by the UK quickly became surplus to the requirements of the British Army. The M3 differed slightly from this pattern, having a main gun that could fire an armor-piercing projectile at a velocity high enough for effectively piercing armor, as well as deliver a high-explosive shell that was large enough to be effective. The Australian Army also used Grants during World War II, mainly for homeland defence and training purposes. Both U.S. and British tanks had thicker armor than first planned. 75 mm (3.0 in) gun removed to allow for fitment with Scorpion III. The hull of the M3 was also used for self-propelled artillery as with the original design of the M7 Priest, of which nearly 3,500 were built, and recovery vehicles. The official Soviet designation for it was the М3 средний (М3с), or "M3 Medium", to distinguish the Lee/Grant from the US-built M3 Stuart light tank, which was also acquired by the USSR under Lend-Lease and was officially known there as the М3 лёгкий (М3л), or "M3 Light". Directed by Lee Tamahori. Beginning from 1941, 1,386 M3 medium tanks were shipped from the USA to the Soviet Union, with 417 lost during shipping (when they went down with their transporting vessels which were lost to German submarine, naval and aerial attacks en route). The U.S. military used the "M" (Model) letter to designate nearly all of their equipment. Fitted with a 25-pounder field gun, the Yerambas remained in service with the 22nd Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery, until the late 1950s. Consequently, a regiment of the division was still using the M3 Lee in North Africa. [39], In January 1943, the main body of the 1st Armoured Division was deployed to home defence duties between Perth and Geraldton, Western Australia, where it formed part of III Corps. [14][15] M3 tanks with the cast turret and radio setup received the name "General Grant", while the original M3s were called "General Lee", or more usually just "Grant" and "Lee".[14][16]. With Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Thomas Kretschmann. Fitted with map table and extra radio equipment. [38], The cadres of other two divisions, the 2nd and 3rd Armoured Divisions were both officially formed in 1942, as Militia (reserve/home defence) units. The sight was marked from zero to 3,000 yd (2,700 m),[a] with vertical markings to aid deflection shooting at a moving target. Many M3s deemed surplus to Australian Army requirements were acquired by civilian buyers during the 1950s and 1960s for conversion to earthmoving equipment and/or tractors.

The sponson mount was necessary because, at the time, American tank plants did not have the design experience necessary to make a gun turret capable of holding a 75 mm weapon. When the sun goes down, the cougar club goes on the prowl! Under the "Mechanisation Experimental Establishment (Middle East)" other modifications were tested approved and made to tanks as they were issued. These cats are in heat! In the Burma Campaign, the M3 medium tank's main task was infantry support. The M3 Grant first saw action with the Royal Armoured Corps in North Africa, during May 1942. The 37 mm gun was aimed through the M2 periscope, mounted in the mantlet to the side of the gun. Ads are what helps us bring you premium content! A single M3A5 was converted into a "Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle". It was also the basis of several successful tank destroyers, such as the M10, 17pdr SP Achilles and M36B1 .

In Britain, the tank was called by two names based on the turret configuration and crew size. These were, due to coordination issues, removed, though they would be seen on early Sherman tanks. Despite being replaced elsewhere, the British continued to use M3s in combat against the Japanese in southeast Asia until 1945. The British Army began naming their American tanks after American military figures, although the U.S. Army never used those terms until after the war. Variants using British pattern turrets were known as "Grant", named after Union general Ulysses S. Grant. The M3 was generally appreciated during the North African campaign for its mechanical reliability, good armor protection, and heavy firepower. The M3 Lee, officially Medium Tank, M3, was an American medium tank used during World War II. Clash of the Titans (2010) 480p BRRip XviD AC3.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua. The M2 Medium Tank was typical of armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) many nations produced in 1939. There were also two .30-06 Browning M1919A4 machine guns mounted in the hull, fixed in traverse but adjustable in elevation, which were controlled by the driver. The US 1st Armored Division had been issued new M4 Shermans, but had to give up one regiment's worth to the British Army prior to the Second Battle of El Alamein. [citation needed]. With much of their equipment left on the beaches near Dunkirk, the equipment needs of the British were acute. Long-range, high-velocity guns were not yet common on German tanks in the African theater. Kickass - KAT - Kickasstorrents - Site Status and Official Mirrors List Though not entirely satisfied with the design, they ordered the M3 in large numbers. Steering was by differential braking, with a turning circle of 37 ft (11 m). Later models were built with all-welded armor to eliminate this problem. This was now no longer true, at least not to the same extent. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! The M3 was replaced in front-line roles by the M4 Sherman as soon as the M4 was available. Design commenced in July 1940, and the first M3s were operational in late 1941. They soon discovered the M3 could engage them beyond the effective range of their 5 cm Pak 38 anti-tank gun, and the 5 cm KwK 39 of the Panzer III, their main medium tank. Two range scales were provided: 0–1,500 yd (1,400 m) for the 37 mm and 0–1,000 yd (910 m) for the machine gun. Retreating in the face of large attack the 8th Hussars had only three of their Grants remaining, while 3rd RTR reported losing 16 Grants. [6] The U.S. funded tank development poorly during the interwar years, and had little experience in design as well as poor doctrine to guide design efforts. [9], Though not at war, the U.S. was willing to produce, sell and ship armored vehicles to Britain. At the beginning of the war, Australian Army doctrine viewed tank units as minor offensive components within infantry divisions. (USMC tank battalions were equipped initially with M3 Stuarts, which were then replaced by M4 Shermans in mid-1944.[33]). The 1st Australian Armoured Division was formed with a view towards complementing the three Australian infantry divisions then in North Africa. The American M3 medium tank's first action during the war was in 1942, during the North African Campaign. However, the high silhouette and low, hull-mounted 75 mm were tactical drawbacks since they prevented fighting from a hull-down firing position. [28] Due to the vehicle's petrol-fuelled engine, a high tendency to catch fire, and its vulnerability against most types of German armour the Soviet troops encountered from 1942 onwards, the tank was almost entirely unpopular with the Red Army since its induction into the Eastern Front.[29]. A small cupola on top of the turret held a machine gun. The vertical volute-sprung suspension (VVSS) units possessed a return roller mounted directly atop the main housing of each of the six suspension units (three per side), designed as self-contained and readily replaced modular units bolted to the hull sides. The 75 mm gun was operated by a gunner and a loader; sighting the gun used an M1 periscope – with an integral telescope – on the top of the sponson. Contracts were arranged with three U.S. companies. The use of two main guns was seen on the French Char B1 and the Mark I version of the British Churchill tank. Following the better-known landing at Tarawa, the US 27th Infantry Division made an amphibious assault on Makin Island with armoured support from a platoon of M3A5 Lees equipped with deep-wading kits belonging to the US Army's 193rd Tank Battalion. With almost 1,500 of their own T-34 tanks being built every month, Soviet use of the M3 medium tank declined soon after mid-1943. Control was from a spade grip on the gun. The shorter barreled 75 mm M2 cannon sometimes featured a counterweight at the end of the barrel to balance the gun for operation with the gyrostabilizer until the longer 75 mm M3 variant was brought into use.[8]. The order was subsequently increased with the expectation that when the M4 Sherman was available, it could replace part of the order. The M3 had considerable firepower and good armor, but had serious drawbacks in its general design and shape, including a high silhouette, an archaic sponson mounting of the main gun preventing the tank from taking a hull-down position, riveted construction, and poor off-road performance. [20][27] These were supplied through the American Lend-Lease program between 1942 and 1943. Mark Axworthy, Cornel I.

Soviet troops still fielded their Lee/Grant tanks on secondary and quieter/less-action fronts, such as in the Arctic region during the Red Army's Petsamo–Kirkenes Offensive against German forces in Norway in October 1944, where the obsolete US tanks faced mainly captured French tanks used by the Germans, such as the SOMUA S35, which to a limited extent was somewhat comparable to the Lee/Grant it fought against. Extended space within the turret of the new M3 also allowed the use of a smoke bomb launcher, although the addition of the radio would take the space for storage of fifty 37 mm rounds, reducing the ammunition capacity to 128 rounds. Some of these saw action against Japanese troops and tanks in the Burma Campaign of WWII. The U.S. eventually eliminated the full-time radio operator, assigning the task to the driver. In spite of this, it was considered by Hans von Luck (an Oberst (Colonel) in the Wehrmacht Heer and the author of Panzer Commander) to be superior to the best German tank at the time of its introduction, the Panzer IV (at least until the F2 variant).[4]. However, the rapid pace of tank development meant that the M3 was very quickly outclassed. A drawback of the sponson mount was that the M3 could not take a hull-down position and use its 75 mm gun at the same time. Obsolete Grant I and II converted in 1943. By early 1941, the effectiveness of large-scale German panzer attacks had been recognised, and a dedicated armoured mustering was formed. Until the Sherman reached production, an interim design with a 75 mm gun was urgently needed. three divisional cavalry battalions). Tanks employing US pattern turrets were called the "Lee", named after Confederate general Robert E. Lee.

[9][11] With these modifications accepted, the British ordered 1,250 M3s. Some M3 Grants played an offensive role with the British Indian Army, in the Southeast Asian Theater. Tanks employing US pattern turrets were called the "Lee", named after Confederate general Robert E. Lee.Variants using British pattern turrets were known as "Grant", named after Union general Ulysses S. … the easiest way to backup and share your files with everyone. While the US Marine Corps deployed all six of its tank battalions,[32] none of these were equipped with the M3 Lee. [38], By the middle of the war, the Australian Army had deemed the Grant to be unsuitable for combat duties overseas and M3 units were re-equipped with the Matilda II before being deployed to the New Guinea and Borneo Campaigns. Like British Commonwealth units, Soviet Red Army personnel tended to refer to the M3 as the "Grant", even though all of the M3s shipped to Russia were technically of the "Lee" variants. Guns removed and replaced with, US T2 (later M31) in British service 1944-1945.

The Panzer III and Panzer IV's success in the French campaign led the U.S. Army to immediately order a new medium tank armed with a 75 mm gun in a turret as a response. Initially there were problems with engine wear and suspension springs. [2] The U.S. Army needed a medium tank armed with a 75mm gun and, coupled with the United Kingdom's immediate demand for 3,650 medium tanks,[3] the Lee began production by late 1940.
