The Ratel ZT3 is a South African tank destroyer in the British tech tree. It is part of the Ratel family of fighting vehicles, a series of 6-wheeled IFVs developed to replace the obsolete Alvis Saracen APC in South African service. The Ratel ZT3 is a later variant of the Ratel platform fitted with the turret that houses a 7.62mm Browning MG4 machine gun and ZT3 ATGMs. With a top speed of 65 mph and the ability to carry a tandem charge ATGM that can penetrate 1000 mm of armour, it is an excellent tank destroyer. However, with minimal armour protection and a large silhouette, the ZT3A2 must be played according to its strengths.
In the history of military aviation, it is rare to find instances of enemy air forces battling each other using the same aircraft. The British withdrawal from Palestine in 1948 is an example of such a rarity: Mustangs, Spitfires and Mosquitoes alike all took part in this conflict, as well as other R.A.F. and I.A.F. aircraft, which will be discussed here as well.
The XM800T is an ARSV, developed in the 1970s by Chrysler, FMC Corp., and Teledyne Continental.

The Panzer II is one of Germany’s first tanks and can be found early in the German tech tree. While often overshadowed by the later German tanks, the Panzer II doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. However, the Panzer II is quite the joy to play.

Today, folks, we're going to look at a big hopper, namely the M3 Lee or Grant. These weren't its only names; it was mockingly called the Cathedral by the Americans because of its silhouette, while the Germans called it “Grab für sechs Freunde” (Grave for six friends), making fun of the tank's flammability. However, it not only had many names but also many variations and versions, some of which you've never heard of, are fake, or are among the most famous in the world. It was also operated by a wide variety of users. And that’s not all: Bernard Montgomery (also called “Monty”) even used an M3 Grant as his personal tank; its nickname was also “Monty“.
