The M-III-Y is an American tier 8 heavy tank.
In June 1953, H.L. Yoh Company Inc. presented seven blueprints of a new tank and proposed designs for several of its components. It was planned to use the AOSI-1195-5 8-cylinder engine. The M-III-Y project included a turret with a small frontal projection, a gun mantlet of original design, suspension with horizontal shock absorbers, and an additional track inside the main one that allowed the vehicle to maintain its maneuverability if the main track was destroyed. The project was suspended. No prototypes were built.
The M-III-Y leads to the M-VI-Y.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Decent pen on the T208 Rifled 90mm at 223mm
- Nice shell velocity on the T208 Rifled with 1250 m/s
- Excellent DPM with the T208 Rifled at 2346 base
- Solid armour on the top turret with a small weakspot
- 10 degrees of gun depression
Cons:
- Subpar mobility at 40 kph
- T254 YIII 105mm gun is worse in every regard from the T208 with only the minor alpha damage upgrade
- Low alpha damage at 240 with the T208 Rifled
- Awful gun handling at .24 when moving
- Poor turret traverse dispersion at .13 with the T254 YIII, worse than the T208 Rifled's .09
Performance
The M-III-Y largely behaves in practise like a better armoured FCM 50 t or Tank:A117_T26E5 that trades some of the mobility for much more forgiving armour while still maintaining a decent cannon.
With the T208 90mm gun, the M-III-Y gets access to some of the best HEAT pen on a tier 8 heavy tank, 290mm of penetration will butcher most tanks with ease if you're willing to spend a bit of credits. The 90mm gun also packs a whopping rate of fire that many people will underestimate. The major drawback for the tank is the unholy gun handling that makes either gun impossible to use when moving, making vertical stabiliser a must.
The armour of the M-III-Y is exceptional considering the mobility, a turret front that is awkwardly shaped yet also very thick, a thick rounded hull, and a tiny turret weakspot that is easily hidden when going hulldown. The M-III-Y can sidescrape quite efficiently with its 88.9mm of side armour though it does have a small weakspot at the turret ring.
The M-III-Y is best used to bully same tier mediums as it isn't too slow, 40kph top speed with a p/w of 15 makes the M-III-Y comfortable to drive to any flank that needs it.
