Flames of War: M4 Jumbo Tank Platoon - US heavy assault tanks. BATTLE FRONT UBX92

Product contents M4 Jumbo Tank Platoon

The M4 Jumbo Tank Platoon by Flames of War allows you to incorporate the relentless M4A3E2 Jumbo assault tank into your US forces. Designed specifically to break through heavily fortified positions and absorb a massive volume of enemy fire, the Jumbo became the favorite spearhead of tankers on the European front during World War II.

To withstand the impact of powerful German 88mm guns, the vehicle was equipped with extremely thick frontal and side armor along with a reinforced turret mantlet. Despite the considerable increase in weight, it featured an upgraded engine and the characteristic wide tracks with "duckbill" extended end connectors, capable of effectively distributing the vehicle's 42-ton weight over the ground and giving rise to its famous nickname.

How to use the M4 Jumbo Tank Platoon in Flames of War

On the battlefield, M4 Jumbo tanks fulfill the critical role of spearheading armored columns and taking the enemy's most dangerous shots. Thanks to their extraordinary survivability against heavy anti-tank guns, they protect conventional Sherman tanks while advancing toward key objectives.

Deploying an M4 Jumbo platoon provides US army lists with the defensive tenacity and assault presence needed to break through the most stubborn enemy lines.
