History: The M3 Lee was developed in 1940 by the United States as an interim solution until more advanced tanks could be fielded. Armed with both a 75mm hull-mounted gun and a 37mm turret gun, it offered significant firepower compared to earlier Allied tanks. While its tall profile and limited main gun traverse were disadvantages, the M3 was crucial in the early years of World War II, serving in North Africa and the Pacific. It also formed the basis for the later M4 Sherman, one of the most famous tanks of the war.
