Juggernaut M3A

During the early stages of the Third Tiberium War, GDI fielded an improved Juggernaut, known as the Urban Combat Platform Juggernaut M3A in Madagascar, and included numerous enhancements over the standard M3. The M3A featured added gun pods each with a 360 degree field of fire, as well as featuring improved railgun cannons. Its armor was also upgraded, which rendered it all but invulnerable to any Nod small arms fire.

The pilot pod was expanded to allow for an additional fourth crew member, and an improved fire-suppression system was added. Although considered field ready, the hasty push for operational status resulted in a number of critical flaws, such as susceptibility to a high powered EMP blast. Following a disastrous initial field test, in which all newly deployed M3A's were disabled, current and additional M3A deployments were recalled, and their units reequipped with the older M3, until the M3A underwent more thorough testing.

After the Third Tiberium War, the M3A was deployed with full operational status.
