I do not know whether photography is welcomed as art on here but I was hoping to discover if anyone knew the model of this tank and such. We were at this memorial site last summer and never did find out what it was. Plus it gives me the chance to show these pics off ...

What is the model? If you have knowledge of history and specs that would be great too ...

Thank You

Sorry we only got the two angles and I hope it was ok to share these here. Thanks!

That would be an M5 Stuart.

Never mind, I think it's actually an M3A3 Stuart light tank.

HAHA! I was going for Jason Statham!

It's amazing how huge these things are regardless of how small they look in-game.

Yeah I have actually been around much larger, but never had a photo before ...

Memorial Day bump ...

Looks like the Stewart at Fort Lewis here in Washington State, Reckon its the M5 version tho, Seems a tad bigger,

I was actually at a german panzer museum a few days ago. They had a KT and Sturmtiger! Those things are awesome in person! I might have some pics if anyone wants to see.

That moment when you realise "Small" tanks in WoT could still fit 5 men inside...

I forgot tanks are actually big :P

M5 stuart.

That is the M3A3 Stuart. The M5 has a larger engine compartment at the back, due to the raised engine deck and twin engines, over the M3A3's single engine.

History:
The M3 Stuart was a series of WWII era tanks replacing the obsolete M2 Light Tanks. They were the first American tanks to see tank-to-tank combat. Produced in 1941 to 1945, the M3 Stuart was the basis of the larger and more advanced M5 Light Tank, and the predecessor to the M24 Chaffee tank after it. Based off of a enlarged M2LT, the original M3 tank differed little from it's parent, the M2. However, it did include better armor as well as a larger, roomier turret. It also was capable of mounting much more powerful 37mm cannons over the M2's machine guns. The M3A3 tank had a single, sloped plate over the double angular glacis plate the M3A1 featured. It also had a much larger turret, housing the original 37mm M6 gun. It was the basis for the M5 tank.

Statistics: Refer to in-game stats.

I've been hoping to get more pics with tanks to put up ...
