Today in my series looking at Interwar tanks that need adding to War Thunder we take a look at American tanks.
So join me as we take a look at the first American tank designs from the Roaring 20's and Great Depression, how Walter Christie's tanks took the world by storm and how this all affected American tank development going into World War 2!
