The M4A3E2 is an American Tier VI Collector medium tank. Although this vehicle accelerates and turns slower than its peers, it enjoys stronger frontal turret and hull armor. It's great for one-on-one duels against light and medium tanks as the protected front confidently deflects hits while its reliable gun with nice depression and elevation angles effectively returns fire.

Good luck on the battlefield!

It can smell diesel from a hundred kilometers. Fear leaking from damaged armor can attract a whole swarm. Already shivering with terror? It's understandable, especially when a predatory, torpedo-shaped nose is racing towards you. Fight back if you want the Shark to have more fun. But its scales may prove impossible to crack. And its teeth will shred your armor. You're simply a link in a food chain topped by the T54E2 Shark. Either accept it and embrace your fate or become a shark and decide who'll experience your razor-sharp bite!

The thick sloped front survives the strongest hits, good dynamics help it quickly take favorable positions and lead heavy tanks on the attack, and the quick-firing gun punches holes through the enemy's armor. The new T54E2, clad in the Shark Legendary camouflage, is a beast that ruthlessly and effectively hunts enemy tanks.

Containers that may include the T54E2, the Shark camouflage, or other rewards will be available in the in-game Store until August 7.

Go on the hunt!
