The US M3 Lee medium tank is often held as a pretty terrible vehicle, both in War Thunder and in real life. Both assumptions are wrong.

To my memory bad reputation comes from eastern front due to 2 factors: 1)tank was sent to formations with other medium tanks and it's unique configuration wasn't taken into account. As such hastily trained crews had no idea how to operate it effectively; 2)the arrival of M3 to USSR was happening AFTER someone decided that it was a great idea to weld the side doors shut for extra protection from german 37mm guns. As a result tanks had 2 less escape hatches then in earlier american and british service. Which lead to even fewer skilled crews that operated it

By default in war thunder both primary and secondary cannon are set to left mouse button which is realy dumb. I highly recommend to rebind it. Most people put primary cannon on left mouse and secondary on middle mouse (pressing down on the mousewheel) but I have secondary cannon on mouse button 4 of my gaming mouse. It works super well. If you do so the M3 Lee becomes genuinely unstoppable. Being able to comfortably shoot both gun and switch between them quickly is just incredible.

You can actually pen the 122 with the 37 around the mantlet from the front :) its a bit fucky but if hes chasing you it works pretty well (better with aphe ofc)

That entire platoon of solders, mind you, is very difficult to knock out in even a few hits. It's madness, squeezing out a shot every 2 second or so, and still have a machine gun in a turret to fend off the odd plane.

Only five minutes in and my thoughts can be summed up in the expression; “seal clubbing” To elaborate: Spookston sitting just in front of the spawn, just ending all of the poor, unfortunate low tier papier-mâché tanks driving by was much like watching that of a old-timey fox hunter stand outside the fox den, punting each and every one of the pups who come tottering out.

I like when it first came out and the M3 could not really kill other M3s and there were loads of M3 vs M3 matchups. The dogpiles of M3 tanks that would happen was legendary.

On the M3 Lee I perfected a system where i have left click for the 37 and right click for the 75. what i do is that i found out the 75's shell drop is jjust twice that of the 37's, so aiming with the 75 is just doubling the range scale on the 37 and using its sight to fire. it's amazing how effective at mid range this systme is once you know to clear the 75, so now engaging is even faster Hell, I remember one battle where i achieved an unopposed flank on an unsuspecting group of tanks who were focused on another point of attack. with both guns at play i slaughtered them in very short order
