"The Stuart was the first American tank to see serious combat. It goes without saying that we couldn't skip this model! The tank has many modifications; we'll definitely be adding more Stuarts in the future, including the Soviet lend-lease version."
Svetlana Smirnova, lead artist

"Note the metal instrument on the side of the tank's hull. It isn't a giant pair of pliers like it seems, it's a mount point for a Browning machine gun – it was designed to allow for mounting one in the factory. Incidentally, these fittings can be found on other tanks too, not just the Stuart."
