An Event Vehicle Light Tank for the USA at Rank VI

In the early 2000s, General Dynamics developed several EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle) prototypes for a U.S. Marine Corps competition. The EFV’s main armament is a 30 mm Bushmaster automatic cannon with high-explosive fragmentation belts to destroy helicopters and attack aircraft, as well as APFSDS belts to destroy armored vehicles, including main battle tanks. One amazing feature of the EFV is that it has the highest speed on water among all ground vehicles in the game, up to 46 km/h! This gives EFV players great freedom in choosing the most unexpected tactics when using the vehicle on maps that have water.
