History Characters / WorldOfTanksUnitedStatesOfAmerica

* FakeNationality: [[CanadaEh Canadian]], though the Ram II is actually a modification of an American M3 Lee.

* NamesTheSame: No, it's not [[TheJuggernaut the T95]]. Not even remotely related.

* RareVehicles: It's very rarely, if ever sold, due it to it being a pre-order exclusive.

* RareVehicles: Only occasionally available as a Clan Wars reward tank, despite being the US's main battle tank for many years.

* RareVehicles: Not ever going to be sold again due to Wargaming losing the movie license.
** Or so we thought. It was briefly sold again in late 2016.

* WeaksauceWeakness: It has ZERO gun depression, making shotgunning a challenge.

* FanNickname: Sometimes called the American Tiger/Tiger Patton due to its unique tiger camo pattern.

* StealthyColossus: Despite its width and length, it's low vertical profile gives it a reasonable concealment rating, especially if you build for camo. However its not common to find a T95 doing this, as its width can make finding large enough bushes a challenge, and [[FanNickname kemping bush]] can easily leave you out of the fight with your low speed.

The M3 Lee leads to the M4 Sherman, and the T1 Heavy Tank.

!!M4 Sherman

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Its top upgrade gives it the 90mm gun from the M36, something the smaller, lighter M18 did not carry in real life and in fact, could not have carried due to having a smaller turret and being a lighter vehicle.

* LightningBruiser: Very tough frontal armor, the same great 120mm gun, and medium tank mobility. Might be a bit overpowered. 9.17 nerfed the cupola armor to finally give it a weakpoint, but it's still a very strong tank.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Considered to be one of the weakest Tier 10 TD's due to its thin (for tier) flat turret armor that's easy to penetrate for almost any angle. Combined with its low speed and camo, it can only trade shot for shot, something you really don't want to be doing if you can avoid it.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Unlike the T95, it's lower plate is vulnerable to attack if not covered. this can lead to a nasty UnexpectedGameplayChange when coming from that machine.

* '''TheJuggernaut''': Go ahead, [[ShootingSuperman shoot at it]], even the most powerful guns in the game need premium ammunition or good aim to penetrate the [=T110E3's=] armor head on. It's supposedly soft side armor, for the most part, is either hidden behind [[MemeticMutation Tracknium]] or is actually just an extension of it's massive 305mm frontal armor. Even the [[AttackItsWeakPoint Commander's Cupola]] has 200mm+ armor.

* JackOfAllStats: The most average tank in the game: middling quality, at the exact mid-range tier of the medium tanks.

* TanksButNoTanks: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The T30 was historically classified as a heavy tank.

* {{BFG}}: It's 240mm gun is bigger than the guns used on [[WorldOfWarships US HEAVY CRUISERS (203mm).]] It's also the same caliber as the new french tier 10 Heavy Cruiser.

* BottomlessMagazines: Fully loaded, a M37 can start shooting the second the gun first loads, and keep shooting the entire match without going dry.

[[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks Armored vehicles and gun carriers manufactured and fielded by the United States of America and other North American nations such as Canada.]] Overall, [[JackOfAllStats tanks from the USA faction are exceptionally versatile, sacrificing the advantage of specialization in certain fields so as to perform adequately in any situation]].

* EliteTweak: If you forgo the always-popular [[{{BFG}} 105mm]], the other option is the 76mm. It's less widely-used, but it fires much faster, [[DamnedByFaintPraise is more accurate]], and has some of the best penetration of its tier (making it an extremely useful, if less bombastic, support weapon).

This variant of the Sherman featured much heavier armor. The [=M4A3E2=] was initially intended as an infantry support tank. However, some were re-equipped with the M1A1 gun and served as tank hunters.

* HitAndRunTactics: its poor armor, good speed, high-damage-slow-reload gun, and low profile makes this tactic a must. Due to the difficulty in engaging the T20, people have taken to calling it [[FanNickname "the cockroach"]]

* JackOfAllStats: Considered to be the best rounded Tier 8 medium, with it only really losing out on penetration. Even that was buffed slightly in 9.14

* SoLastSeason: There's a large {{Hatedom}} on the T32 because it uses the same gun as the T29. Following the release of the [=T26E5=] (AKA Jumbo Pershing or Patriot) this has only gotten worse.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks It's now an unremarkable Tier 3 SPG.]] And before that, it was ''the'' seal-clubbing tank.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks It's now an unremarkable Tier 4 SPG.]]

** Due to placement of its gun, players have to risk expose entire vehicle over the top of any given hill, one of the most ideal place for tank destroyers to be in.

* TheAllegedTank: Widely hated among players due to it's high profile, unimpressive armor, average mobility and lack of usable turret.

** Averted however, as it's only strong on the upper front plate, and the transmission case, turret, and MG miniturret are easy to pen. It does have high HP for a tier 5 however.

* FishOutOfWater: It's the ONLY tier 2 tank that will see tier 4 matches without fail platooning. With a maximum of 45 penetration and an abysmal view range even with binoculars, its hideously outclassed by everything at that tier.
** As of the 9.18 Matchmaker changes, it seems to not get into tier 4 games anymore.
* FragileSpeedster:The lowest tier tank that's capable of hitting 72kph.

!!T7 Combat Car
----

* NecessaryDrawback: However this comes with a reload of about 25 seconds, a VERY long time in a tier 2 match when other autocannons can kill you 3 seconds or less.

* StealthExpert: With a properly trained crew, camo paint and net it can reach over ''50%'' Camo rating making it VERY hard to detect even at close range.

* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: General Adna Chaffee. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adna_Chaffee]]

* [[ThatOneLevel That One Tank]]: Of course, such a hated tank is the last tank in the tree before reaching the celebrity M4 Sherman.

* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: General William Tecumseh Sherman. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tecumseh_Sherman]]

* FakeNationality: [[CanadaEh Canadian]], though a modification of an American M3 Lee.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Can't aim down much (-2 degrees depression) due to how the gun is mounted, which throws high ground advantage out of the window. T40 will likely finds its home in city fight with long sight lines or flat ground more than hilly terrain.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: got hit hard with nerfs to firing on the move, acceleration, and reverse speed. It's still a good TD, but can no longer be a pseudo medium tank.

* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Confederate General Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_Jackson]]

* {{Acrofatic}}: 9.17 Buffed it's top speed from 18 to 28 Kp/h, giving it a good turn of speed for something this bulky. Players used to its old immobility might be caught off guard.

* MightyGlacier: After the HD remodel, It gained a turret roof, and the cheeks were buffed to same effective thickness as the hull. As long as you can keep your opponents in front of you, you can play as a psuedo-heavy tank.

A M4A3E8 Sherman tank with additional armor mounted in the field, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Creighton Abrams, the commander of the 37th Tank Battalion (subsequently a General and U.S. Army Chief of Staff).

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Has wider gun arc than what the real-life prototype has.
* LethalJokeCharacter: An "Average" tank destroyer, but packs view range that borders on obscene and great traverse range, making it far more powerful than it's "Hard" stats imply. It's view range did get cut later on, but still packs the choice of a potent 76mm or a very low velocity 105mm howitzer, both very potent guns.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Can't aim down much (-2 degrees depression) due to how the gun is mounted, which throws high ground advantage out of the window. T40 will likely finds its home in city fight with long sight lines or flat ground more than hilly terrain.
