Back in 2023, I visited the U.S. Army Armor and Cavalry Collection at Fort Benning, Georgia (now Fort Moore) for the first time. One of the vehicles that piqued my interest was the MBT-70 and XM-803. I have enjoyed both vehicles in War Thunder, and seeing them in person was a great experience. In this post, I included a short history of each vehicle and some pictures I snapped while there.

The Panther, or Sd.Kfz.171, was a technical masterpiece of World War II, combining firepower, armor, and mobility in a way that surpassed many of its contemporaries. Designed as a response to the Soviet T-34, the Panther aimed to blend the maneuverability of a medium tank with the combat power of a heavy tank. At least 6,000 units were built from 1942 until the end of the war.
