Hello Commanders,

Replay the World War, this is World of War Machines

As important as aircrafts are, tanks are also a decisive factor on the battlefields.

The command tanks in World of War Machines are based on actual tanks deployed and operated during the World War II as the aircrafts in the game.

We are here to introduce a few of the tanks deployable in World of War Machines. Come join us in the enemy tank espionage!

■ M4 Sherman - The Tank that Brought the Victory in WWII:

M4 Sherman was manufactured in the US and roamed around the battlefield as the main tank for the Western Allies!

During the German invasion of France in 1940, the Panzer III and IV were successfully devouring the Western Allies on the battlefields. This lead to the development of the M4 Sherman.

The United States, who had no experience in a modern warfare, was shocked at the fact the ground force was no match to those of Europe who had experienced ground forces through multiple wars.

The US began to develop a new tank to counter the German tanks.

The M4 Sherman was acknowledged for its availability in mass production. With the great American industrial power, it synergized to produce 49,234 M4 Shermans, including evolved or derived versions of the tank. Deployed German tanks were outnumbered by more than 4 times after the mass production had begun.

Despite the fact that the M4 Sherman was relatively inferior to those of the German’s in terms of firepower and armor, the mass production and flooding the battlefields with great numbers brought the Allies the victories.

An additional fun fact for the M4 Sherman!

The tank, as previously mentioned, was produced in the US but the first ones to actually utilize was the UK!

The UK was also the first to nickname the M4 after a Union General William Tecumseh Sherman of the American Civil War.

■ SU-100 - The Most Powerful T-34 Series

With the Soviet intention to reinforce the firepower, the SU-100 is the most powerful tank destroyer out of all T-34 derivations.

The SU-100 was designed to penetrate 185mm armor plates and could engage enemies from 1km away. Even with its incredible performance, it was only operated for about 4 months during WWII.

The SU-100 was designed for anti-tank operations. However, the shortage in armor-piercing ammunition and the delay in production halted further developments and manufacturing of the tank.

Despite the relatively weak armor, the SU-100’s powerful engine output allowed high mobility and shortened body height from the SU-85 made the SU-100 perfect for lying in ambushes.

Her brilliant performance within the short service period proved her value to the Soviet army.  

After the war, SU-100 didn’t seek much production but it was continued for years after.

■ M10 Wolverine – The Most Produced Tank Destroyer in World War II

After the Germans began to heavily armor the tanks, the number of manufactured M4 Shermans was not enough to hold them off. To support outnumbered Allies in the battlefront, the M10 Wolverine was made.

The US mainly focused on reinforcing the firepower and mobility. To support infantry units or other tanks from the rear, the M10 began its development and production: a tank destroyer with a 3 inch (7.62mm) antitank gun mounted on a modified M4 Sherman.

The combat debut of the M10 came during the Battle of El Guettar in the North African campaign.

With its excellent range and precision, the M10 Wolverine was able to strike enemy tanks from long distance.

The open-topped rotating turret allowed swift observation in all directions.

Unlike the M10 Wolverine, the German and Soviet tanks had to maneuver the entire body to aim the enemy tanks. The rotating turret also put less stress in the suspension of the M10 and was able to operate for a longer period of time.

After the impressive score in the North African campaign, the M10 was considered as the decisive factor of the victory. However, the high-praise shot back at the Allies not long after.

The US force has little to no war time experience compared to the nations in Europe at the time. Despite M10’s original intentions to support other tanks or infantry units, the Wolverine was actively deployed and fought in battlefronts. While the German and Soviet tank destroyers were moderately armored, lightly-armored M10s suffered.

M10 Wolverine’s operation was somewhat disappointing in contrast to its original intentions.

However, its firepower and precision was a great perk to the Allies to the point where the M10 was the most produced tank destroyer during the World War II. The operation of the Wolverine lasted until the end of the war due to its reliability.

■ Nashorn – The Steel Rhino

Do you know what Nashorn means, my commander?

Named after the German term for Rhinoceros, the Nashorn was named after an animal just like other German tanks such as the Panther or Tiger.

Toward the end of WWII, as the Allies were stepping closer to victory, the Germans were becoming shorthanded in all battlefronts. The Nashorn was developed to counter the fierce Soviet tank T-34.

Due to the lack of both firepower and manpower, the Germans needed a rapidly-producible counterforce which could destroy as many tanks as they could. The Germans had put all of their resources and focus on fast maneuvering and high firepower for the Nashorn, while leaving the tank destroyer easily vulnerable with its light armor.

Not only the firepower was great but also the precision was, so that it could target and successfully strike enemies in a 2km range. Numerous reports claim that it could also engages enemies as far as 4km away.

With its highly maneuverable destroyer, The Nashorn made its debut during the Battle of Kursk in 1943.

Yet, even with its incredible performance in all battlefronts, the Germans were losing their air superiority over time and were not able to cover for the lightly-armored tank destroyer.

And that wraps up the list of tanks in World of War Machines that GM prepared today!

But there are a lot more tanks in the actual game:

A whole variety of tanks can be found in-game, so make sure to visit
