General information

The LVT(A)(1) is an American amphibious assault vehicle developed by FMC in the early 1940s. It was a modernized version of the LVT-2 with a slightly modified turret from the M3 Stuart light tank being the main difference. The LVT(A)(1) entered service in late 1943 and was produced from December 1943 until late 1944, with a total of 510 vehicles built. The U.S. Army and Marine Corps actively used this amphibious tank during World War II for amphibious assaults on Japanese-occupied islands.

A special version of the LVT(A)(1) with a unique camouflage was introduced in 2023 as a reward for following TheRussianBadger’s partner link. The vehicle combines excellent survivability with a powerful gun that reloads quickly and has decent penetration. However, it has some weaknesses, including limited armor and a huge silhouette that makes it difficult to conceal. Nevertheless, the LVT(A)(1) is a versatile tank capable of effectively executing both aggressive and passive combat tactics.
