Flames Of War American M5 Stuart Tank Platoon New
The M5 Stuart was the improved successor to the original American light tank design, offering upgraded armor protection and a larger turret. Fast and maneuverable, the Stuart excelled in reconnaissance and flanking roles, able to exploit gaps in enemy lines or support infantry with rapid movement and suppressive fire. The platoon can also be built as the M8 Scott assault gun, armed with a 75mm howitzer to deliver effective fire support against infantry and light defenses.

Together, these vehicles brought flexibility to U.S. armored divisions in both offensive and defensive operations.
