WoT Supertest: M3A3 Stuart Detailed Stats & Historical Reference

M3A3 Stuart (USA, Tier-3, LT, premium) entered the WoT Supertest on Friday.
The tank is very old. It was first shown as a leaked icon at the supertest almost 12 years ago. Now it is the same tank, but only with an updated model.

The tank has quite good gun performance compared to its classmates and especially to the M3 Light.

Perhaps it will go to the New Year 2025.

Historical Reference:

A further development of the M3 light tank with a differently shaped welded hull that made the volume of the fighting compartment significantly larger and improved the crew’s comfort. Meanwhile, removing the glacis plate with huge hatches gave the hull greater shell resistance. Mass production continued from January through September 1943. A total of 3,427 tanks were produced in this period, 2,045 of which were sent to the UK under the name Stuart V. The M3A3 saw action in World War II, the Chinese Civil War, the First Indochina War, and the Portuguese Colonial War. The leading states removed the tank from service after WWII, but it was used by other countries, which kept it in service until the 1990s. Certain countries, for instance Paraguay, use it to this day.

Crew of 4 people: Commander (Loader); Gunner; Driver; Radio operator.
