| Best/favorite WW2 Light tank Well - light tanks are rarely discussed - people usually just drool over a shiny Tiger (myself included  ). But the light were essential to armoured warfare - not only for recon - but also to fill in the gaps in the "poorer" armies.Anyway - my choice is the Pzkw II - a mediocre machine that managed to hold its own against vastly superior tanks in France, Africa and Russia. Its followed closely by the Stuart (infantry-mower) and Pzkw 38(t) (the reasons Juha mentions). Last edited by Danielmellbin; 06-25-2008 at 08:57 AM. |

| I voted for M24 and PzKw 38(t) a light tank which was able to substitute medium PzKw III in many German PzDs up to 1942. ie light tank with firepower of a medium tank in 1939-40 with a good mobility and reasonable protection. Juha |

| Panzer 38(t) for me. The best light tank at the beginning of the war and capable up until 1942. M24 is probably the best performance wise but it came too late and was kind of anachronistic anyways. |

| Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, no doubt about it.

| I just love the look of the Chaffe. Also it was a fast little bugger and did ok in the various battlefields. Last edited by Th!rdeye; 06-26-2008 at 05:15 PM. |

| The thing about the M24 Chaffee is that it weighes more than any other light tank and is close to the Panzer IV in weight actually, and the Panzer IV is both far better armed & armoured, and so is the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer which infact is 3 tons lighter than the M24 Chaffee.

| Soren JgPz 38(t) wasn't a light tank as its designation shows. A different kind of animal. A compact and effective A/T vehicle, I agree but the poll is on light tanks. |

| Sorry Daniel but it is a tank, anything that is armoured, rides on tracks and carries a gun is a tank. There's a reason it's called a Jagdpanzer  As defined a tank is an armoured fighting vechicle on tracks, nothing more.

| Well then I don't see how it doesn't qualify if the Chaffee does ? The Hetzer is lighter than the Chaffee you know, by some 3 tons.
