Notes
* Renault FT production: 3,177 were for France, 517 for allies; later the U.S. made 950 M1917s (FT design) but only 64 before end of war.
† There was also an A7V (Female) version with two more machine guns in place of the 57mm
‡ The A7V's armour was mild steel. Mild steel protection is roughly 1/2 to 1/3 as effective as hardened armour plate.

Tanks in World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3794 words)
The BT tank series, based on the Christie suspension system, were usually armed with the same 45 mm gun and were the most mobile tanks in the world.
The problem the Soviet tank force faced in 1941 was not primarily the technical quality of its vehicles, but the very poor state of maintenance, the appalling lack of readiness, and the poor command situation brought on by the purges.
The first U.S. tanks to fight in the war were the Light Tank M3 and Medium Tank M3 (the "Grant" version had a British-designed turret and a six-man crew; the "Lee" version retained the original turret and seven-man crew).
BIGpedia - 7TP - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online (250 words)
The 7TP was the Polish light tank of the Second World War.
Only about 132 tanks were produced between 1935 and the outbreak of the war (+4 iron prototypes).
All 7TP tanks took part in combat in the Polish September Campaign in 1939, used in two light tank battalions (the 1st and the 2nd) and in Warsaw Defence units.
