This platoon set gives you three of these tanks to assemble as you see fit, whether you're looking to field a three vehicle platoon of a single variant, or want to add one of each variant to your army at a discounted price.
🔍 Reconnaissance Role
The Americans favoured light tanks over armoured cars for reconnaissance, and the M5 light tanks were developed for this role. The chief difference between this and the earlier vehicle was its Cadillac engine.
This necessitated some redesign of the armour to fit, and the opportunity was taken to improve the armour layout and distribution. Production was limited since the introduction of the M24 light tank was imminent.
