The M5 Stuart
The M5 Stuart is a Tier III
American Light Tank.
The M5 Stuart entered production in April 1942. By June 1944 a total of 10,884 vehicles in two variants had been produced. The tank was used in all theaters of war.
At first, the M5 Stuart appears to be a minor downgrade from the M3 Stuart, with slightly worse armor and lower speed for more hit points. The biggest difference is the ability to equip the fearsome 75mm Howitzer M3. The M5's excellent speed and agility can be used to expose the thin rear and side armor of your opponents for maximum effect. Be warned though, its accuracy is poor, so come in fast, get close, and then get out of there. You can always come around for another pass from a different anglem using your small profile.
The M5 Stuart leads to the M7 and the M24 Chaffee.
