Tank description:

The M3 Light is a Soviet tier 3 premium light tank.The M3 light tank was created in 1938–1941 on the basis of the M2 and entered the mass production in 1941. A total of 13,000 vehicles of different modifications were produced (from M3 to M3A3) and supplied almost to all Allies under Lend-Lease. From 1942 through 1943, 1,232 M3 Stuart vehicles were sent to the U.S.S.R. They were first used in the battle for the Barvenkovo bulge near Kharkov in May 1942.It was previously available to new players for completing the in-game training course. Codes for this tank for the EU server were also handed out by Wargaming at Tankfest 2013 and HM Fest 2014 (in Hungary). It''s slightly better than a stock M3 Stuart, but inferior to one that''s been fully upgraded. Even so, don''t underestimate this tank, as it still has decent top speed and a fast-firing cannon.
