The Assault Tank M4A3E2 (76) W Jumbo is a rank IV American heavy tank with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update “Steel Generals“ in the initial batch of US vehicles available at launch. Taking from its predecessor, the M4A3E2, it is improved with a more powerful 76 mm cannon that allows it to take on the majority of Rank III and some of the Rank IV tanks. As a side note, the nickname “Jumbo“ was likely never used during WWII, as there is no record of it. However, its use both on the Wiki and In-Game is still prevalent. The M4A3E2 (76) W Jumbo is an all-around good tank with no major limitations or advantages, with average speed, manoeuvrability and thick frontal armour, making it a 'jack of all trades tank' equally good in defensive tactics as well as offensive tactics. staying behind good cover, exposing only the thick gun mantlet and engaging targets in long range, or offensive tactics. Its 2 main advantages are that it has a fast-firing 76 mm gun, combined with high penetration rounds, and it can be used to quickly disable and overwhelm otherwise heavier targets. Its armour is also excellent - the hull armour is just 1 mm short of the Tiger I's hull, and that is not even taking into account the sloping, making the hull next to impossible to penetrate frontally, and your sides are also uparmoured, so unlike the Shermans, your angling will not cause you to be shot through the side. Angling with this tank will make you nearly indestructible to enemy fire. Compare this to the very tough Tiger I. Beware, your hull is not up armoured from the rear, and most rounds at its BR will set the engine on fire, and some will even go into the fighting compartment. You should also beware that you are not always indestructible, and things like the Tiger II (P) will penetrate you, even when angled. Another final thing to keep in mind is that despite you mainly fighting other vehicles like Panthers, the battle rating will sometimes get you up against tougher opponents like the T-44 and the dreaded Tiger II (H), and if in arcade, even the T29. ➡ (76)_W ✅ 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝟎𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 #warthunder #nukenus #jumbo
