The M3A1 Light Tank is an improved version of the original M3 Tank. The origin of the M3 Light Tank started after the start of World War 2, where US Military Observers realized that the old M2 Light Tank currently in service at that time was becoming obsolete causing an upgraded version of the M2 Light Tank to be created with with thicker armor, modified suspension and new gun recoil system designated as the "M3". Production of the M3 started in March 1941 and continued until October 1943. Although the M3 Light Tank is more heavily armored than other light tanks during its creation it was soon outmatched by the increasing number of German medium and heavy tanks during the later stages of World War 2, but in the Pacific Theater a small but relatively armored and well armed vehicle became an invaluable asset in a dense and thick jungles.M3 Stuart - Wikipedia
