Good day, dear reader!
I did not attend the forum for a long time, but still decided to go and publish this work. Thank "US Army Signal Tsorps" for reactive rocket launcher "Bazooka", which served as a prototype for guns LT-21 M1. Served as the prototype tank M3/M5, Strv-103, T-50 and M4 Sherman. Originally planned as an armored car, then - as a wedge, and later - as ACS. But I had to build a light tank, resources were scarce. I was almost happy with the result - the tank is 97% plain and quite agile. Of the shortcomings can allocate a very small amount of space inside - 1.5 figurines placed there.
" ... Light tank served to support the infantry, patrol and reconnaissance. Specially designed for warfare in the jungle, although recent modifications stopped making this car highly specialized. But few people know the story of his birth - and even more so, it was absolutely secret technology. Article 204 or, as it was called later, LT- 21 M1, was tank destroyer. M21A1 60 mm cannon - newest reactive weapon, punch armor up to 280 mm - was the main canon. For night operations was type with a powerful searchlight. All were released four initial versions of LT- 21. First model armed with 50 mm gun, M2 - armed with 75 -mm cannon and machine guns M60/M134/M2, and M3 armed with 40 mm automatic cannon and machine guns "
