Today we are talking about some new vehicles that will join the combat in Multiplayer and expand existing nations and their tactics. Especially the United States will receive a heavier tank design to counter Germanys mobile fortresses.

T-60

The T-60 scout tank was a light tank produced by the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1942. Although at first intended to carry a 12.7 mm machine gun like the T-40, the armament was later upgraded to the 20 mm TNSh cannon, a tank version of the ShVAK, on the advisement of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, V.A. Malyshev. This weapon could penetrate 15 mm of perpendicular armour at 500 m range which proved inadaquate against the newer uparmored German tank designs thus attempts were made in 1942 to re-arm the T-60 with the 37mm ZIS-19 cannon but were abandoned due to the Soviet Union's shortage of 37mm ammunition.

T-29

The Heavy Tank T29 was an American tank project started in March 1944 to counter the new German tanks. The T26E3 (M26 Pershing), weighing around 45 tonnes, was not considered heavily enough armed or armoured to counter the Tiger II , which weighed closer to 70 tonnes. The T29 was not ready in time for the war in Europe, but it did provide scientists after the war opportunities for testing the engineering concepts in artillery and automotive components.
