M3 GMC

The M3 Gun Motor Carriage was a tank destroyer used by Allied forces in WWII. The GMC was basically an M3 Halftrack APC fitted with a 75mm gun. It saw use under the US Army in the Phillipines, North Africa and Italy, and was used to some extend by other Allies at the Western front. It was removed from service in 1944.

Battlefield 1942
The M3 GMC appears in the Road to Rome expansion of Battlefield 1942 as an Allied self-propelled artillery piece. It looks much like the M3 Halftrack, bar the mounted gun on top of it. Unlike its APC cousin however, It features only a 3 player capacity.

The driver, aside from comandeering the vehicle, is able to fire the 75mm gun. This gun is slightly weak compared to other artillery pieces, being a little bit more damaging than a regular tank shell. The driver makes up for this by being able to both fire and drive at the same time, much like in a tank. The second passenger mans a M2 Browning at the back of the vehicle. Finally, the GMC can carry one additional passenger, who does not have weapons at his disposal and cannot use his equipment.

The vehicle combines the power and velocity of a tank cannon with the armour and superior speed of an APC. Unlike APCs, it will not ressuply or heal its passengers.
