Good news for all collectors and anyone who just loves unusual vehicles – very soon, the range of ‘rare’,
but series-produced vehicles in War Thunder will receive a new addition: the M4A5 medium tank!
The Canadian RAM Mk.II cruiser tank was received into the US Army with the designation M4A5. The vehicle, with its outstanding external appearance, was developed and based on the American M3 Lee. The M4A5, which is coming to the game, was in series production from 1942 to 1943, and 1899 units were produced within that time. Although this tank never came face to face with the enemy on the battlefield, it was actively used both by the Canadians and the British for training tank crews, it also served as a basis for developing later SPGs and other vehicles of various designs.
What makes this vehicle stand out from the crowd apart from its unusual origins? First of all, its looks. The smooth contours of its hull and the special gun mantlet make the tank stand out from other Allied vehicles. The tank’s armament includes an excellent QF Mk III 6 pdr (57 mm) cannon. Players that have already researched British tanks with this cannon are likely to thank its accuracy, rapid-firing and powerful effect, this represents a serious threat to any ground vehicles at ranks I and II. The tank also stands out for its survivability in no small part thanks to its excellent defenses for its level (its frontal armour reaches 3” in thickness) plus its effective crew of five.

In battle, the vehicle is excellently suited to complete various tasks and is a far more versatile tank than any other contemporary tanks. Want to take advantage of the armour and ‘outmuscle’ enemy defenses? Easy. Quickly change your position to take a strategic point? No problem. Dive into the thick of it and fire off a couple of dozen shells through the attackers’ frontal armour plates? Be my guest! On top of all this, the tank has a nice bonus to Research Points and Silver Lions earned.
This armoured vehicle will arrive in our game with update 1.61 “Road to Glory” and will be at rank II as a premium vehicle in the US research tree!
See you on the battlefield!

Guys, guys, wrong tree! If anywhere - it should be in a British tree.
Totally agree, this was a dumb decision to put it in the American tree.
Canada -> Commonwealth -> UK -> US tech tree ? Why ? Seriously, why ?
"...was actively used both by the Canadians and the British for training tank crews...armament includes an excellent QF Mk III 6 pdr (57 mm) cannon..." This is a British tank. You've established that already. Put it in the British tree. The US has no reason to have this tank.
This should be in the British tech tree along with the Grant Mk. 1!
Shouldn't this be a regular tank for the still under-equipped British Forces? Apparently nearly 2,000 vehicles of this type were produced and used by Canadian (i.e Commonwealth, i.e linked to Britain) forces, when the ruskies get the T44-100 which was a prototype vehicle only. Seems a little unfair.
Please guys, this is the M4A5=American tank designation=American tank tree The Tank for the british Tank tree is designated Ram Mk. II. I´m sure, they will get one with this designation at some point.
when i read i was happy so much until i didnt see it is premium , now i am so sad :-(
I think it makes sense to put Canadian Tanks in the US Tech Tree because for the fact that they are next to the US and because the US helped them with shipping tanks over seas anyways.
endless whining about this being in the US tree. scroll down to read comments from 12 year olds who love whining on EVERY NEWS UPDATE that gets put up. if one child makes a post that makes him sound "matter of fact" and "hate on war thunder" they ALL FOLLOW. you deal with it enough in game so nothing really new to see here. this is just how I fill, as we see so many of the toxic post's day in and day out..
Adding it to the UK tree makes more sense, for one thing UK barely has any premium tanks.
shouldn't be premium and should be in the British tree
