About the U.S. M3 Tank Lee

The Medium Tank M3 was an US tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank had been called by two names in line with the turret configuration. Tanks using US pattern turrets had been called the "General Lee", known as after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Variations making use of British pattern turrets were known as "General Grant", known as after U.S. General Ulysses S. give.
Design commenced in July 1940, as well as the first M3s were operational in late 1941. The U.S. Army required a great tank and in conjunction with United Kingdom's demand for 3,650 medium tanks immediately, the Lee began manufacturing by late 1940. The M3 had been well armed and armored the duration, but considering design flaws (high silhouette, archaic sponson mounting for the primary weapon, below-average off-road performance) it absolutely was perhaps not satisfactory and had been withdrawn from front line responsibility the moment the M4 Sherman became obtainable in vast quantities.
