the problem was that the russians and the british were in such demand for these tanks that they couldn't stop producing m3s to switch to the m4, so they built about 6500 of them. something similar happened with the six pounder. the british six pounder was developed before world war ii, but after the fall of france they realized we can either not produce anti-tank guns or we just built a two pounder. the soviets were saying the t 34 was supposed to be replaced by the t 34 m. it didn't happen, germans invaded, we'll go with what we have. so there were gradual improvements on the m3 in the form of new stabilizers. some came with cast hulls so the army is getting experience with a cast hull tank. of interest in terms of design, barnes was not in favor of keeping that 75 millimeter. infantry who at the time still was in charge demanded that the 37 be we takretained so that's still have a 37. i said this was going to break into two different directions. then you had the question of how do you stop these pansers. what was happening obviously was not working. the idea of having anti-tank guns wi
