A bit more sleek, but not any smaller really than the few Sherman E8's I've been beside. Now a M103... That's a bulky tank. Got to get on one a summer ago, and that thing is impressive looking.

My favorite light tank. As an old Armored Cav kind of guy I've always felt that a relatively light, air and/or sea transportable, fast tank, armed with at least a 90mm gun, a 105mm would be even better, would go a long way toward putting the Cav back into the Armored Cav....The Sheridan ARV came soooo close....But missed the mark with that damn gun/launcher....

You are definitely right about that bro, i also just wondering that if this type of tank's main gun would be replaced by a more reliable modern equivalent of 105mm tank gun turret were it can be loaded by modern multiple conventional type of rounds, perhaps this old, small but still magnificent armour gun platform, could possibly once again re-commissioned to the active service, to be at least become an Infantry fire support vehicle.

These actually did quite well as infantry support. Were not intended for that - supposed to be recon. Guatemala bought a total of 10 of these. Cadillac made one with the turret from the Stingray light tank - had a 105 mm. gun. Nobody wanted it. The Cuban Air Force was unable to knock any of these out at the Bay of Pigs invasion - they had no air cover for them. Then they went on to hold the airport and take down a mess of T34/85's before running out of gas.
