When in a platoon of other American medium tanks of the same tier, it can engage and destroy the toughest of targets.Īmerican heavy tanks have generally light hull armor all-round (Until Tier 9) but always have a few areas of extreme thickness, mainly in the front turret. American mediums tend to play the role of support tanks more often compared to other mediums, but are perfectly capable of operating on their own merits as well. American mediums boast above average view range with some being best in their tiers. As well as this, they can deliver the firepower when needed and have decent accuracy on the move - combined with gun depression and decent turret armor, this makes them rather survivable while hull-down and comfortable to play. They are able to both move quickly, do spotting, and take some damage. American lights are relatively large targets and can lack in armor.Īmerican medium tanks are perfect for adaptive strategies and they are generally and more commonly referred to as 'Jack Of All Trades'. Their most notable feature is their good view ranges, top speeds (in the Chaffee line), and high rate of fire (which can help in a brawl). They are a fairly easy-to-play and an easily understandable nation in comparison with other nations, but hard to master and use them to their full potential.Īmerican light tanks tanks tend to be more adaptable in combat situations than other lights, and at higher tiers can fulfill the roles of scout and flanker very well. In miscellany, American vehicles tend to be larger than their counterparts, and tend to share many components such as guns, radios and engines, making research for multiple lines easy. American guns rarely have stellar penetration values, accuracy, or damage per shell for their tier, instead preferring rapid reload times. However, they tend to perform well hull down, have good view range, and have good terrain resistance.

Generally speaking, American vehicles are adequate in most roles, and they are generally 'Jack Of All Trades' but lack a specialization. Overall, tanks from the USA faction are exceptionally versatile, sacrificing the advantage of specialization in certain fields so as to perform adequately in any situation. Armored vehicles and gun carriers manufactured and fielded by the United States of America and other North American nations such as Canada.
