OVERVIEW
The TME-99 Sherman is a light, cheap tank. With moderate speed, weaponry, and armor protection, it is a wholly unremarkable vehicle. It is easily mass-produced, even with Inner Sphere technology, and that makes it astoundingly cheap.
CAPABILITIES
An uninteresting 75-rated internal combustion engine powers the Sherman, three tons of uninteresting standard armor protect it, and a mediocre light 5-class autocannon arms it. A crew of three (hopefully more interesting than the tank) individuals operate its standard controls.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-99 is not really popular, but bought anyway due to the really low bulk order rates.

DESIGNER'S NOTE: The Sherman is based on the standard American WWII medium tank of the same name. Purists will note the lack of bow machine gun--and they may soak their heads about it if they wish.
