Tank

	Stuart tank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stuart was an American light tank of World War II in use with British and Commonwealth forces prior to the entry of the USA into the European theatre.
		The only place where the Stuart was still adequate was the Pacific Theater, as Japanese tanks were both relatively rare and, when met, were weakly armored and armed.
		Japanese infantry were poorly equipped with anti-tank weapons, and tended to attack tanks using close-assault tactics.

	Nase noviny - The M3/M5 (Honey/Stuart) Light Tank
		Light tanks already ceased to be the primary weapon of armoured divisions on both sides of the developing conflict, giving way to medium or cruiser tank designs, which offered better protection and heavier armament.
		The arrival of M3 Medium Tanks (General Lee) and the performance of the light tank in battle caused the Stuart to gradually shift to other roles, never to regain the status it enjoyed with the British Army again, at least not in the European Theater of Operations.
		The M5 Light Tanks were used primarily by the Armoured Reconnaissance Squadron (later converted into the 3rd Armoured Regiment) and reconnaissance elements of the two armoured regiments.

	Light Tank M3 Stuart
		The M3 Stuart, known to the British as Stuart I or Honey (it was a "Honey" of a tank), was an evolution of the light tank M2A4, which incorporated a trailing idler suspension to decrease ground pressure and improve weight distribution, a lengthened hull superstructure rear, and also thicker armor.

		M3A3, or Stuart V, was modified to have a sloped hull similar to the light tank M5 Stuart.

	M3 Stuart light tank
		Used by the US and UK, the M3 Stuart was typical of the better light tanks at the start of WWII - well built, well armored and poorly armed.
		The Stuart was used well into the war, replaced starting in early 1943 by the similar M5 Stuart (larger engine, 33% more main gun ammo, thicker frontal armor) and eventually the M24 Chafee (with a 75mm L38 gun, same as used on early M4 Shermans).
		A variant of the M5 was the M8 HMC, which mounted a 75mm L17 howitzer in an open-topped turret and carried 46 HE rounds, and was used to provide infantry fire support until replaced by the Sherman 105 (armed with a 105mm L28 howitzer).
