Tank description:

The T-46 is a Soviet tier 3 light tank.Developed under the program for improving the maneuverability of the T-26 light tank through redesigning its chassis to a wheeled caterpillar type. The prototype was built in 1935. The vehicle saw service on February 29, 1936 after a series of modifications. At least four vehicles from the experimental batch underwent trials in 1937, but the production was discontinued due to transmission faults and high cost. The manufactured vehicles were used during the Winter War and World War II.Unlike the T-26, this tank has decent acceleration and speed, as it''s actually a T-26 with a BT-2 suspension. While it still possesses weak armor, it gains access to some considerably superior weapons; an accurate 45mm cannon, a quick-firing 37mm autocannon, and a hard-hitting 76mm howitzer that can deal massive damage to the enemy. It excels at flanking and supporting allied movements.The T-46 marks the end of its Soviet light line.
