+ | The T7 was a US Army prototype developed as a future replacement for the M3 & M5 light tanks. Original prototypes were built by Rock Island Arsenal. The development of this tank started in the Spring of 1941. The construction of experimental vehicles was launched in January, 1942, after the first prototypes were finished. These were developed in to the T7E2 and featured a cast hull and turret design. The pilot vehicle used the turret ring of the Canadian RAM tank, which meant the vehicle could be up gunned to the 75mm main gun. By January, 1943, the tanks had passed their trials but were never mass produced. The vehicle proved unpopular as a light tank and the original order of 3000 vehicles was cancelled 1943. The tank was deemed under-powered and overweight. 7 tanks were built. | |||

The M7 is an American tier 5 light tank.
Development started in 1941. Initially, the vehicle was developed as a light tank; however, as the model gradually received extra armor and armaments, it was reclassified as a medium tank. Production of the M7 started by the fall of 1942. However, since the M7 was inferior to the mass-produced M4 Sherman in all parameters except speed and dimensions, the production was stopped. A total of 7 vehicles were produced.
It is extremely fast and maneuverable, but has extremely thin armor and poor firepower. However, the lack of firepower is offset by an extremely fast rate of fire, so proper use of the M7 will employ all of the tanks strengths; high rate of fire, speed, and mobility. If exposed to enemy fire, the M7 can be destroyed rather quickly, so caution must be taken when engaging the enemy. The M7 is an excellent tank to have in a wolf pack, letting the sturdier medium tanks take the shots while the M7 flanks, keeping the enemy tracked or inflicting steady damage to the target.
The M7 marks the end of its American light line.
