Why is the American M3A1 mounted with a 75mm cannon not included in CM?

The .50cal MG can *definitely* take out the Puma and Armored cars from the side. The M3A1 Scout Car, M20 Util, and T8 Recon all carry the .50 and have fast turret speeds (Axis AC and Puma have slow turrets). And the Greyhound can take out any of these cars even from the front with its 37mm cannon (it has medium turret speed). It mostly depends on who hits who first. Because of turret speed, the Amis should always keep moving. The Greyhound also has a faster firing rate than the Puma or Heavy Car (though the 234/1 AC fires much faster than the Greyhound, but will often ping shells off the Greyhound rather than penetrate).

And of course, the Brits have the Daimler.

So all is not lost for the allies. Atleast not for Mech vs. Mech. Though the Heavy Car *does* outclass all Ami vehicles for anti-inf HE.
