The T3976 was a medium tank produced in Velikoslavia before and during the Second Partisans' War and served as one of the primary armored vehicles of the Grand Armed Forces of Velikoslavia during the war. When it entered service in 1939, surrounding nations rushed to field contemporaries as the 76mm gun was capable of dealing with most vehicles. By the late 40s, the vehicle had been upgraded to the T3985. By the time of the Second Partisans' War, the vehicle was in its fourth major upgrade, the T39100, which fought alongside the newer T50100. In 1960, both the T39100 and the T50100 received a new 100mm high velocity main gun to increase the potency of existing stocks while factories rolled out the T60110. By the end of the conflict, the T3976 was showing its age and was officially retired in 1963. Though retired in Velikoslavia, the vehicle has been exported to numerous other customers and its chassis has been used to produce several other types of vehicles.
