Tank description:

The T23E3 is an American tier 7 premium medium tank.Development started in April 1943. The prototype was manufactured in August 1944. Unlike its predecessor T23, this variant featured a torsion-bar suspension. The vehicle never entered mass production nor saw service.The T23E3 was first awarded to the top 6000 players during the "World on Fire" mini-campaign. Due to this, it is not visible in the tech tree nor the in-game store and it makes this tank quite a mysterious machine. Like most American medium tanks, it is a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none. However, this tank is also very different in that it has a very hasty reload, low pressure and low caliber gun that make it much more akin to British mediums such as the Cromwell or Comet. Its armor is very similar to most other American medium tanks: it can not be relied upon. Furthermore, it features that excellent gun depression American tankers are accustomed to and tops it off with very decent soft statistics and mobility. Patch 9.12 saw this tank buffed with increased penetration of both standard and Premium shells: from 128 to 149mm, and 177 to 190mm respectively.
