Development[]
After J.A. finished producing the ZA-2, J.A. wanted to upgrade the old model into something more effective and relieable. After a week of testing and replacing the ZA-3 was made with much better improvements.
Characteristics[]
Having a bigger turret, spaced armor and cannons as armament, the ZA-3 is regarded a light tank.
Advantages[]
The ZA-3 has a more improved engine, The old ZA-2 3.6L V6 Engine has been replaced with a 5.7L V8 engine, offering more speed and power. The armament has also been upgraded greatly. Having a 37MM Short cannon located in the hull, and a 50mm Short Cannon in the turret. The armor has also been improved greatly by the addition of spaced armor at the sides and turret.
Disadvantages[]
Due the two cannons and small hull it has, the ZA-3 has a low ammo capacity, 20 AP shells for the 50mm short cannon and 19 HE shells for the 37mm short cannon. Due its short 37mm and 50mm cannons, its very weak against other tanks and it's armor is easily torn apart by medium and heavy tanks.
