Tank description:

The Vickers Medium Mk. III is a British tier 3 medium tank.British medium tank also known as the Vickers "16-tonners". Three prototypes were produced by Vickers from 1926 through 1931. According to some sources, three more tanks were manufactured in 1933 and remained in service through 1938 but never saw action.The MK III is rather slow, yet capable of dealing its share of damage due to the excellent quality of its guns. They have fairly good accuracy and a high rate of fire. Despite that, the armor is weak and the tank can be destroyed easily, especially with HE rounds or artillery fire. The Mk. III is well suited for shooting at distances and taking cover when the enemy has finally noticed you''re a threat and starts to point his gun at you. Beware of the Cruiser Mk. II, Alecto, Valentine AT, Type 91 and Type 95 Heavy and the Hetzer, for they can decimate you with their HE Might!The Vickers Medium Mk. III marks the end of its British medium line.
