The M3 Light is a Soviet tier 3 premium light tank.
El carro ligero M3 fue creado en 1938-1941 a partir del M2 y entró en producción en serie en 1941. Se produjeron un total de 13 000 vehículos en diferentes variantes (desde el M3 hasta el M3A3) y se suministraron a casi todos los aliados bajo el Préstamo y Arriendo. Desde 1942 hasta 1943 se enviaron 1232 vehículos M3 Stuart a la URSS. Se emplearon por primera vez en la batalla por el saliente de Barvenkovo cerca de Járkov en mayo de 1942.
It was previously available to new players for completing the in-game training course. Codes for this tank for the EU server were also handed out by Wargaming at Tankfest 2013 and HM Fest 2014 (in Hungary). 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.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Excellent top speed
- Good turret traverse speed and elevation arc
- Good rate of fire
- Very good frontal armor for light tank, immune to most machineguns and autocannons (except weak spots like driver's hatch)
- Preferential matchmaking, never sees tier 5 tanks; Makes good amount of credits (for a tier 3 premium)
Cons:
- Poor damage and penetration
- Poor view and signal range
- Inferior to the regular M3 Stuart in penetration and mobility
Performance
The short signal range and poor view 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 is a must.
