"Blast from the Past!"

Tactical analysis

 * Don't Misunderestimate Me: An aging GVAW light tank, the Sherman "Beagle" lacks the ability to take heavier tanks head-on. However, its superior speed and amphibious ability allow it to run circles around the enemy, making it an excellent flanker.
 * Bring 'Em On: The Beagle is armed with a 30mm cannon. Despite its considerable age compared to its counterparts, the cannon is extremely accurate and can be very effective when fired into the weak points in enemy armor.
 * The Decider: With specialized drilling, combined with good aim, Beagle crews can fire into the tracks or wheels of an enemy vehicle, which usually has the effect of forcing said vehicle to a halt.
 * You Go to War with the Tank you Got: However, the Beagle is not without its weakness. Its primary weakness is its lack of armor. In a straight-up fight, the Beagle will be decimated by any and every MBT out there.

History
"For the Constitution... And... Stuff!"

-...

The classic "Sherman" M4A1 formed the basis of the Aquilan army during the Great Voshkod-Aquilan War, where, alongside the M24 Chaffee and its successor the M41 Walker Bulldog and the larger Pershing and Patton tanks, it attempted to stem the tide of Voshkod aggression. Despite being outgunned and outclassed by the superior Ursa, EGs, T-54/55, T-44, and upgunned T-34 models used by Voshkod, the Sherman proved its worth on Aquila's battlefields, using its considerable speed advantage to flank enemy tanks and destroy them with its 76mm cannon. Though the majority of them were used by the new California Commonwealth during the Embry Civil War.

After the war, the remnants of over seventy-five thousand Sherman tanks were left in the wasteland, either locked in bunkers or rusting in the radioactive waste. And in the waste of Embry's new world, these poorly guarded vehicles were in ample supply when the Minutemen rose, and they were swiftly converted into modern fighting vehicles by the clever Minutemen engineers, becoming the M4A1 Sherman "Beagle". Soon, thousands of the vehicles spearheaded the Minutemen's assault across the Archipelagoes, their supercharged, nuclear, and waterproof engines whining and repeater cannons pounding holes in enemy armor once again.
