                        HVSS or Easy 8 suspension


                        VVSS

                        The m22 locust was the smalles and lightest american tank of ww2. It was a 2 man dan designed to be air-portable. Armed with a 37mm and had 25mm armour. They saw action once in the rhine crossing in 1945.
