The Vickers Medium Mk. III is a British tier 3 medium tank.
British medium tank also known as the Vickers "16-tonners". Three prototypes were produced by Vickers from 1926 through 1931. According to some sources, three more tanks were manufactured in 1933 and remained in service through 1938 but never saw action.
The MK III is rather slow, yet capable of dealing its share of damage due the quality of its guns. They have fairly good accuracy and a high rate of fire. Despite that, the armor is weak and the tank can be destroyed easily, especially with HE rounds or artillery fire. The Mk. III is well suited for shooting at distances and taking cover when the enemy has finally noticed you're a threat and starts to point his gun at you.
The Vickers Medium Mk. III marks the end of its British medium line.

Performance
This tank has six crew members, like the Cruiser Mk. III. Unfortunately, instead of two Gunners, it has two Radio Operators. The limited range of even the top radio on this tank means the second provides no worthwhile benefit. The new hull is far less boxy in shape, and slightly shorter in height, which allows this tank to use bushes a little more effectively. Even though the 6-pdr 8cwt QF Mark I gun carries over from the Mark II, it has a faster rate of fire, better accuracy, and faster aim time on this tank, especially with the second turret. Altogether, this makes the Mark III a much better sniper than previous models.
Early Research
- The 6-pdr 8cwt QF Mark I gun and the WS No. 11 radio carry over from the Vickers Medium Mark II and can be equipped immediately.
- Research the upgraded suspension first.
- Next research the second turret.
- Researching the 2x Rolls-Royce Phantom II engine will improve mobility.
- Go from there.
