Description An SPG version of the VB-1 heavy assault tank, used mainly to support the heavy assault tanks that are working there way through the Siegfried line, and is deployed at long range in order to avoid enemy encounter. This SPG surprisingly has tough & sturdy frontal armor (with spaced armor) that could withstand enemy tank fire. This SPG tank's chassis is based off of the VB-1, with added wheels for improved mobility, and the fighting compartment is fitted onto the rear of the chassis.
Hull armor
Front: 131mm (additional armor plating which is 62mm thick)
Sides: 54mm
Rear: 30mm
Superstructure armor
Front: 141mm
Sides: 42mm
Rear: 28mm
This tank is mounted with 187mm Howitzer M32L4G6 gun, which is both powerful and astonishingly accurate as well. Tho it takes time to reload with its heavy ammunition
It has a maximum ammo capacity of over 20 shells
Along with a 0.3inch rapid-firing machine guns on both sides to defend against any invading enemy infantry (4,000 rounds per gun)
With added and improved suspensions, wheels, and tracks for better mobility and maneuverability.
This tank is also the first ever to be equipped with a powerful Napier Sabier engine to further improve its mobility and speed.

The VB-3A was immediately put into production as well as in service with the Military force. Used during the invasion against the enemy, as well as the assault of the Siegfried line. Using its powerful gun and its long firing range, it could bring mass destruction on the enemy. Capable of also taking out massive fortifications, as well as heavy enemy tanks and their monstrously thick armor. Was seen firing its heavy shells on several fortifications and bunkers on the Siegfried line. It was in the year 1950 that the tank had finally retired. A total of 1,000 tanks had been produced during the war.

Oh yeah, im probably thinking a turret thing, instead of an exposed gun, it can probably be in a metal shell or something. Speaking of secondary guns, it took me 9 minutes to realise there was a second gun on the side
