    Which is actually pretty reasonable from a historical point of view. The M3 Lee was only ever produced because the post WW1 war industry was basically neutered, this resulted in the Sherman R&D period being an absolute clusterfuck. The Lee and a lot of interwar and early war designs were stop gaps because the actual good shit was either still being worked out or otherwise had fucky production issues.
