|Better armored, but with a lighter gun, than the [[M4 Sherman]] the Ram-II is mobile and durable for its tier. The QF 6 Pounder Mk IIIA has a very high rate of fire, allowing the Ram-II to handle multiple smaller threats more easily than other tanks of its tier. This, combined with increased armor, leads to greater survivability than the M4 Sherman. However, the Ram-II has a glaring weakspot on the front armor, in the form of the small machine gun turret. Knowing this, it is best to keep the turret hidden behind solid cover when engaging enemies. | |Better armored, but with a lighter gun, than the [[M4 Sherman]] the Ram-II is mobile and durable for its tier.

? | The Ram-II's matchmaking is not as good as it's heavier counterpart, the T14. With this in mind, the QF 6 Pounder will quickly become obselete if put in higher tier matches, as it cannot penetrate anything with 120+ armor. Hit these tanks on the flank or on any prominent weakspot. Alternately, you could fire from a distance, but this tactic is negated due to the relative innacuracy of the tank. | + | The Ram-II's matchmaking is not as good as it's heavier counterpart, the [[T14]].

Compared to the [[M7]], the Ram-II trades speed for a huge increase in survivability and keeps roughly the same firepower. It functions much like the T1 Heavy tank - as a slow support tank that utilizes it's high rate of fire to pound away at enemy armor. | Compared to the [[M7]], the Ram-II trades speed for a huge increase in survivability and keeps roughly the same firepower.

The Ram II is an American tier 5 premium medium tank.
The main production variant of the "Ram" Canadian medium cruiser tank equipped with the 57-mm QF 6 pounder gun. Developed on the basis of the M3 Lee medium tank in 1941. A total of 1,899 vehicles were produced before 1943. None of them were ever used in action, although Canadian and British forces used them for training purposes. In addition, the tank was often used as a basis for various SPGs and special-purpose vehicles.
Better armored, but with a lighter gun, than the M4 Sherman the Ram-II is mobile and durable for its tier. The QF 6 Pounder Mk IIIA has a very high rate of fire, allowing the Ram-II to handle multiple smaller threats more easily than other tanks of its tier. This, combined with increased armor, leads to greater survivability than the M4 Sherman. However, the Ram-II has a glaring weakspot on the front armor, in the form of the small machine gun turret. Knowing this, it is best to keep the turret hidden behind solid cover when engaging enemies.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent rate of fire
- Good hit points
- Good maneuverability
- More armor than the M4
- Penetration near on-par with the M1A1 gun
Cons:
- Poor damage
- Hatches in the sides
- Lower top speed than the M4
- Innacurate gun
Performance
This tank has good armor, a rapid-fire gun, and good maneuverability, but it's not very fast. It's very effective at taking on lower tier opponents and can do fairly well against its own tier, but the low penetration of its gun leaves it relatively ineffective against higher tier opponents. This can be compensated for somewhat by using premium shells, but whether it's worth it or not is up to you. Typically you see the Ram-II serving a support role. It's high rate of fire makes it good at taking out enemy scouts that try to take out friendly artillery. In some higher tier matches, it may serve in a scouting role.
