Team Yankee: American M113 Transport Platoon
The M113 is one of the most widely used armoured personnel carriers in history, serving as the backbone of U.S. mechanized infantry forces throughout the Cold War. Rugged, versatile, and easy to maintain, the M113 gave American troops protected mobility on the battlefield, allowing infantry to keep pace with tanks and survive against artillery and small-arms fire. In World War III: Team Yankee, the M113 Transport Platoon delivers reliable, mobile infantry support for U.S. commanders, making it an essential component of any American army.
Gameplay Experience:
