Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

A tank under Sergeant Bob Early's command, with serial number 26, used by Company E of the 32nd Armored Regiment of the 3rd Armored Division.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Strong gun mantlet, great for going hull-down
• Nice alpha of 240 on average per shot
• Great gun depression of -10 degrees
• Fairly cheap ammo cost makes it a decent credit earner
• Armour will hold up against lower tiers (mostly)

Cons:

• Slow and sluggish: crawls up hills
• Low DPM: even lower-tiers can easily out-trade it in straight-up shootouts
• Low shell velocity and mediocre accuracy makes hitting fast moving targets difficult
• Premium AP rounds only provide a modest increase in penetration; hardly any use in high tier matches
• Machinegun port is an obvious weakpoint even Tier 5's can pen easily

Historical Info

On 6 March, just after the 3rd Armored Division had entered the city of Cologne, a famous tank duel took place. A Panther tank on the street in the front of Cologne Cathedral was lying in wait for enemy tanks. Two M4 Shermans were supporting infantry and came up on the same street as the Panther. They ended up stopping just before the Cathedral because of rubble in the street and didn't see the enemy Panther. The lead Sherman was knocked out, killing three of the five crew. A T26E3 was in the next street over and was called over to engage the Panther. What happened next was described by the T26E3 gunner Cpl. Clarence Smoyer:
"We were told to just move into the intersection far enough to fire into the side of the enemy tank, which had its gun facing up the other street [where the Sherman had been destroyed]. However, as we entered the intersection, our driver had his periscope turned toward the Panther and saw their gun turning to meet us. When I turned our turret, I was looking into the Panther's gun tube; so instead of stopping to fire, our driver drove into the middle of the intersection so we wouldn't be a sitting target. As we were moving, I fired once. Then we stopped and I fired two more shells to make sure they wouldn't fire at our side. All three of our shells penetrated, one under the gun shield and two on the side. The two side hits went completely through and out the other side."

Four of the Panther's crew were able to successfully bail out of the stricken tank before it was destroyed. The action was recorded by a Signal Corps cameraman T/Sgt. Jim Bates.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

The 90 mm M3 is in fact the same gun on the T20 and M26 Pershing, yet the penetration and weight values are inconsistent.

• The only tank/anti-tank designations of the 90 mm gun were M3 and M3A1. The "M3E" designation is fake.
