review video guide for M3 Lee World of Tanks
Tank got its name in honor of General American Civil War Robert E. Lee. A was in 1940 and was produced until 1942. This war machine in different models exported to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union on Lendliza program. So do not be surprised if you meet the M3 Lee in the game in the coloring typical of the Soviet tanks, it's not a glitch. From the Soviet tank is the creation of American thought PM6 got the nickname - Mass grave for six. Moreover, many of the World Tanks players support this nickname. Why? Because M3 Lee is perhaps one of the most controversial of tanks in the entire game.
Well, let us explain the embodiment of the American game in more detail.
Well in the M3 Lee is so unusual that causes so much angry comment in his account on the part of many players. Quite simply, this tank is not possible to use a rotating turret. More precisely it is actually on the model it can be seen, but here's a practical use at the moment it does not bear in itself, quite the contrary - it is a vulnerable point. The tower - a cannon installation of 37mm tank gun, topped commander's cupola additionally armed with machine guns. However, the main armament - 75 mm gun was placed in the sponson, located right in front of the body. Since, according to the mechanics of the game is now in each tank can be only one active firing point, it is set in the case of 75 mm rapid-fire gun, much more powerful than the 37 mm turret punch already familiar to us on the tank M2MT, the developers made the active M3 Lee weapons.
The main difficulty for players to pump the machine is not something either before the M3 Lee, or after the tank with a similar arrangement of arms in the American nation does not exist.
M3 Lee is the only American tank to the main location of weapons in the case, of course not counting the artillery and PT ACS. Because the style of play it close to the style of warfare on the American PT than on CT .
M3 Lee is on the 4th level of the American tree development and opens immediately after M2MT, and the further development of this tank is quite diverse, you can open the next medium tank, heavy or even go to the artillery branch.
Tree research in the M3 Lee quite meager. We can learn a new chassis, weapons, engine and two-way radios. Start with the way recommend, since in the absence of an increase in tower rotation speed of the car 3 degrees can not hurt. Next is to open a tool, which is similar to the parameters with the stock, but it surpasses it in rate of fire, accuracy and penetration, though slightly inferior in speed information.
With research engine can not rush, because increase of 40 horsepower for the dynamics of 28 ton tank is almost imperceptible.
At least we study the radio, and we are able to open the radio 9th level, worth 5600 experience, which will continue to be used on many American cars.
When you are able to install additional modules should begin with a gun of medium caliber loading rod to increase so pretty good damage per minute. Then you can put a telescope or coated optics to increase a modest review of the radius of 320 meters, which is inherent in the M3 Lee.
The third module can deliver network masking or improved ventilation. The network will help to fire from behind the bushes in a high level of combat more effectively, and improve the ventilation of the tank performance in general.
As for pumping crew, the options are many. We will try to choose the best, based on the possible tactical scheme of the game in this tank.
The crew is made up of six people - the commander, two gunner, a driver, radio operator, loader. Despite the apparent utility disguise pump is not necessary, as the huge silhouette of the M3 Lee is not easy to disguise. The commander is the ability to pump a mentor to accelerate the overall leveling of the entire crew. After that you can explore a sixth sense, by which we will know when our tank marred. The third skill is to learn eagle eyes to increase visibility. The driver is required to examine the skill virtuoso, who in the absence of the tower will help us quickly spin. The second skill of take - clean and tidy in order to reduce the chance of fire, take the third king of off-road capability, increasing maneuverability even further. Gunner study sniper, vindictive and master gunsmith and smooth rotation of the tower, which for the M3 Lee will work just as well for the PT. Charging can learn contactless boeukladku, intuition, desperate. Well, the radio operator teaches radio interception to increase viewing range, an inventor and a repeater to help allies with weak radios.
Instead, one of skill in all crew members can take the combat brotherhood, but only if it is the ability to be fully pumped at all.
Repair of this tank is not very useful, since it is usually with a serious injury ends fight for us.
If we compare the M3 Lee classmates of other nations, the tank looks quite good: decent for its head-level book, the perfect weapon with high broneprobitiem, good accuracy and the highest level on damage per minute. However, the mobility of the tank, as well as outstanding dynamics are not, according to these parameters exceed the M3 Lee only AMX-40 and Mathilde Mark2.
armor slopes is poor, so that the bounce does not happen very often. How this affects the game play, very seriously. In fact, the absence of serious gun tower and mediocre speed is converted into an analogue M3 Lee PT ACS, it is for this reason that the tactics of warfare on this machine is so different from the tactics of medium tanks.
M3 Lee Tactics vary greatly depending on its position in the list of fighters. If he was lucky to get to the top, then this situation can get the maximum result and satisfaction.
In the battle of the 4th level of the M3 Lee reveals itself as a good first line of the tank. The frontal armor allows perfectly to keep the damage from small-caliber guns. A high rate of fire and more than enough to break through this level opponents gives you the opportunity to push the enemy defenses without much difficulty.
However, the approach is to be feared opponents in the side of the tank and the karma, because there is much thinner armor. It is better to move surrounded by several teammate that can cover the flanks. The main danger of moving up the tanks of the 3rd and 4th levels, for example, German Pzkpfw III, Soviet T50, T28 and A20, which can go to the board, or karma, where the armor is not as strong as the frontal. Although American twist is not so easy, thanks to a fairly good rate of turn, but is still to control the flanks in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
When injected into the middle of the M3 Lee list can serve as a support for holding behind the senior companions in an attack or in a secluded bush seeding play a sniper, but the bush is worth more to choose, because the silhouette of the tank is high. But it is worth remembering that at this level you can die getting hit 2-3, and even from one magical suitcase sent a good artillery. Admission here is not particularly expect to get the armor thickness. In general, we do not climb ahead, do not protrude too much, fall into enemies.
And finally, what do you do when the M3 Lee gets to the end. The answer is simple - to try not to die and not to interfere with tanks to fight high levels. The fact that at such levels fights the good of this tank is really small. For firefly lacks dynamics and speed for passive viewing of light is not enough, go to the open enemy is simply stupid, as die M3 Lee at this level from 1-2 hits that believe not long in coming is to see only the enemy team coveted and easy frag. The damage here will be applied only vytselivaya vulnerabilities or using explosive shells, which are 75 mm guns are not powerful enough.
What can we say about this tank as a result? It really is unusual, many criticized him "was worth", but many were able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the M3 Lee and get genuine pleasure from playing on it. Since the M3 Lee is a kind of crossroads of the tree of American technology and allows us to investigate how the next the level of a medium tank, and heavy with ACS , then it is possible to be happy to spend the number of fights, enough to explore all of the available technology. Let him get used to at first not easy, but the experience will prove invaluable when using the PT ACS. And this little tank, deprived of one of the main features of ST - rotating tower will not leave anyone indifferent, perhaps not always in a positive way, but you will remember that, in the truest sense of the word, Bezbashenny tank.
