Auto Credit Based on Haydenator21's Help with my M8 HMC
Based on QingyuZhou’s M5 Stuart Republic of China.
This tank is a what if of a what if. The 75 mm GMC never went into full production and most M8’s were kept by the US. This is my rendition of a production 75 mm GMC under lend-lease to the British. Hope you enjoy!
From Tank Encyclopedia:
In an attempt to give the M8A1 more anti-armor capabilities, development began on mounting the 75 mm Gun M3, as found on the M4 Sherman, into the turret with a new thicker mantlet. The idea was to create a fast, lightweight tank-destroyer that could exploit an opening, open fire, then retreat. The fast and small M5/M8 chassis was seen as a perfect candidate. Despite this, the project was canceled, as the M18 Hellcat was looming on the horizon.
