Gotta get that crew up to par also but I like it's style I rather like it. It has sluggish turning and the accuracy on the move is poor, but if you can mitigate those, it's fun to drive. Like most tier 3 tanks, it really struggles aqainst tier 5. Also, it is remarkably adept at killing pz1c's, as it has just enough armor that pz1c can't reliable pen it from the front. Most people don't stay at this tier for long so take any response you get with a grain of salt I doubt if you'll be keeping the M3 forever.
So I wouldn't mount the Optics unless you don't mind using 10 gold to dismount or lose the credits you paid for it. I'd just throw binocs and a net on it and rotate them between a variety of low tiers. The M3 was fairly fun, but the M5 stuart is near useless in combat, so don't get your hopes up about the tier 4 Chaffee and up are great tho. Run from Tier 5 heavies, you can't hurt most of them unless directly behind, and only then with APCR. I've kept mine off and on.
Even has more armor than the M5. Not keeping it just a tank I gotta play as I move up and tks all. RushingJaws 10 Posted Jun 09 - Captain. I think you're still riding that great game high. RushingJaws, on Jun 08 - , said: I think you're still riding that great game high.
But I am working my way up that line. I don't buy my way up. No premium nor nothing. SpearFisher 13 Posted Sep 03 - Staff sergeant. Reply to quoted posts Clear. LT Morin maneuvered his Stuart off the road, but took a direct hit while doing so, and his tank began to burn. The other four Stuarts were also hit, but managed to leave the field under their own power. LT Morin was wounded, and he and his crew were captured by the enemy. M3s of the th and nd Tank Battalions continued to skirmish with the 4th Tank Regiment's Type 95 Ha-Go light tanks as they continued their retreat down the Bataan Peninsula, with the last tank verses tank combat occurring on 7 April Due to the naval nature of the Pacific campaign, steel for warship production took precedence over tanks for the Imperial Japanese Army IJA , creating by default an IJA light tank which performed admirably in the jungle terrain of the South Pacific.
By the same measure, although the US was not hampered by industrial restrictions, the US M3 light tank proved to be an effective armored vehicle for fighting in jungle environments. By the time the Japanese had been stopped at Imphal, only one British Stuart remained operational. Upon the American entry into the war in , it had began to supply China with AFVs including the M3 Stuarts, and later M4 Shermans, and M18 Hellcats which trickled in through Burma and formed part of the several well-equipped, well-trained armies that the Chinese Nationalists could deploy.
These units were responsible for stopping numerous Japanese attacks during the later phases of the war. After the disastrous Battle of the Kasserine Pass, the US quickly followed the British in disbanding most of their light tank battalions and subordinating the Stuarts to medium tank battalions performing the traditional cavalry missions of scouting and screening.
In Europe, Allied light tanks had to be given cavalry and infantry fire support roles since their main cannon armament could not compete with heavier enemy AFVs. However, the Stuart was still effective in combat in the Pacific Theater, as Japanese tanks were both relatively rare and were lighter in armor than even Allied light tanks. Japanese infantrymen were not well equipped with anti-tank weapons, and as such, had to use close assault tactics.
In this environment, the Stuart was only moderately more vulnerable than medium tanks. In addition, the poor terrain and roads common to the theatre were unsuitable for the much heavier M4 medium tanks, and so initially, for both sides, it was advantageous to deploy light armor. Heavier M4s were eventually brought to overcome heavily entrenched positions, though the Stuart continued to serve in a combat capacity until the end of the war.
After the war, some countries chose to equip their armies with cheap and reliable Stuarts. The Republic of China Army, having suffered great attrition as a result of the ensuing civil war, rebuilt their armored forces by acquiring surplus vehicles left behind in the area by the US forces, including 22 M5A1s to equip two tank companies.
They would have their finest hours during the Battle of Kuningtou, for which the tank came to be known as the "Bear of Kinmen".
Most notably at the battle of Zoji-la Pass, which was fought at an elevation of nearly 12, feet. The vehicle remained in service in several South American countries until at least During the s and s, the Portuguese Army also used the M5 in the war in Angola, where its all terrain capability compared to wheeled vehicles was greatly appreciated.

Good rate-of-fire. Above average accuracy, aim time, turret traverse speed, and gun elevation arc. Very good frontal armor for light tank, immune to most machineguns and autocannons except weak spots like driver's hatch; sh Excellent radio. Cons: Poor damage. Mediocre gun penetration. Performance The M3 Stuart is a speedy, agile light tank.
Next research the upgraded suspension for a large improvement in traverse speed. Now research the second turret and the 37 mm Gun M6. Be sure to research the SCR if you haven't by now. Suggested Equipment. Historical Info. I have just started the US tanks.
Lots of fun so far. This : steventot, on 09 September - PM, said: Well this just happened to me tonight. Have fun staring at this picture , it says all. NOTICE : Kill was done in the last second of capture progress , so it was really lucky at some point, but heck isn't it looking funny? I usually support other tanks in my M3 stuart, cause there're too many t last times and scouting is difficult sometimes.
M7 every time for me. M4 is too slow.
