M4A3E8 Easy Eight – Der gepanzerte Held der Alliierten!Ursprünglich als M4A3(76)W HVSS bezeichnet und später auf M4A3E8 verkürzt (das „E8“ steht für die HVSS-Aufhängung), wurde dieser mittlere Panzer von den US-Soldaten, die in und neben ihm kämpften, liebevoll als „Easy Eight“ betitelt. Der Easy Eight bietet zahlreiche Verbesserungen gegenüber früheren M4 Sherman-Designs, wie das Horizontal Volute Suspension System (HVSS) und breitere Ketten, die ihm eine verbesserte Geländegängigkeit verleihen. Der geschweißte Rumpf sorgt für besseren Schutz, während die 76-mm-M1A2-Hauptkanone ihn gleichwertig zu den deutschen 75-mm-Kanonen macht.Die ersten Easy Eights wurden im Dezember 1944 eingeführt und kamen genau rechtzeitig zum Einsatz in der Schlacht um die Ardennen. Obwohl die Durchschlagskraft seiner Hauptkanone die Mittelpanzer der Achsenmächte bedrohte, musste er dennoch die hintere Panzerung der schwereren deutschen Fahrzeuge ins Visier nehmen.Insgesamt wurden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs über 2.500 Easy Eights produziert, und das Design erwies sich als so erfolgreich, dass es weiterhin im Koreakrieg und sogar im Vietnamkonflikt zum Einsatz kam.Das Set enthält:1 Plastikmodell des „Easy Eight“ MittelpanzersBolt Action StatkarteBolt Action Order DiceMontageanleitungVollfarbiges Wasserrakel-Decalblatt für US- und kanadische FahrzeugeFahrzeugschadenmarkerDieser Panzer kann auch in Spielen von Achtung Panzer! verwendet werden, dem Spiel für Nahkampf zwischen Panzern, dessen Regeln im Regelbuch von Achtung Panzer! zu finden sind.Hinweis: Modelle werden unmontiert und unbemalt geliefert.
