The M3 Light is a Soviet tier 3 premium light tank.
The M3 light tank was created in 1938–1941 on the basis of the M2 and entered the mass production in 1941. A total of 13,000 vehicles of different modifications were produced (from M3 to M3A3) and supplied almost to all Allies under Lend-Lease. From 1942 through 1943, 1,232 M3 Stuart vehicles were sent to the U.S.S.R. They were first used in the battle for the Barvenkovo bulge near Kharkov in May 1942.
It was previously available to new players for completing the in-game training course. It's slightly better than a stock M3 Stuart, but inferior to one that's been fully upgraded. Even so, don't underestimate this tank, as it still has decent top speed and a fast-firing cannon. It is known as the M3 Light in-game, so as to distinguish it from the American Stuart.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent top speed
- Good turret traverse speed and elevation arc
- Good rate of fire
- Does not encounter tier 5 battles, unlike the regular Stuart
Cons:
- Poor damage and penetration
- Poor view and signal range
Performance
The short signal range makes it less beneficial as a scout than it otherwise could be. However, it is a effective flanker, and it has a fast firing cannon but low penetration, so shooting at the sides of enemy tanks in a must.
