The V Ram II was a Canadian cruiser tank created during WWII to combat the lack of tanks in Canada. It utilized a modified version of the U.S. M3 tank chassis and a turret that could hold a 57 mm gun. Around 1,949 Ram tanks were produced, but they were mainly used for training. The tank later inspired variants like the Kangaroo armored personnel carrier and the Sexton self-propelled gun. It is the only tank ever designed and manufactured in Canada.
In World of Tanks, you can use its potent 57 mm QF 6-pounder cannon with a high rate of fire to keep your foes on their toes. The Ram II's large HP pool and 1,965 DPM are impressive for a Tier V medium, while the great power-to-weight ratio and fair frontal and side armor make it a valuable ally in battle. The Ram II is also a fantastic medium tank crew trainer and a steady credit earner, ideal for newcomers.

The M4A3E8 is a variant of the American M4 Sherman tank that was used by a number of Allied forces, including Canadians, during WWII. It was renowned for its improved suspension and powerful high-velocity gun.
The VI M4A3E8 Fury is modeled after Sergeant War Daddy’s variant from the blockbuster movie Fury, with aesthetics that match those of the vehicle in the film. However, this movie star has more to offer than looks. Equipped with a bulked-up 76 mm cannon, it delivers a respectable 2,090 DPM. And with 10 degrees of gun depression and a 370 m view range, it can easily bait enemies into hull-down duels while keeping an eye on its surroundings. Follow in the footsteps of an iconic tank commander and see how this famous variant stacks up against its fellow M4A3E8 Sherman tanks.

The VI Sherman VC Firefly was a British variant of the Sherman tank, and was widely used by Commonwealth forces, including Canadian units.
It was made a legend on the battlefield by gunner Joe Ekins, who destroyed a platoon of three Tiger tanks with just five shots. Now, you can emulate that impressive achievement with this pinpoint accurate sniper that shoots 13 rounds per minute and has a remarkable 2,000 DPM. And thanks to its top speed of 40 km/h and changes to the armor layout, the VC variant has improved survivability over the standard Firefly.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a tank aficionado, or simply seeking an unforgettable experience, Aquino Tank Weekend is not to be missed.
