[edit] Is the M2 Medium Tank a medium tank or light tank?

I was just wondering was the M2 Medium Tank a medium tank or a light tank? I found a website that said the M2 Medium Tank was a light tank. The website is http://wwiivehicles.com/usa/tanks_light/m2_light_tank.html --Mr. Yooper 23:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

There was a medium tank designated Medium Tank M2 and an unrelated light tank designated Light Tank M2. Same with M3, btw. Bukvoed 05:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, i was just wondering thanks. --Mr. Yooper 17:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

You are not the only one to be confused.

For example, that wwiivehicle.com article is about the Light M2, but the image is of the Medium M2. Near the top of the page there is a link to additional photos, and most of these are of the Light M2, except two last images which are of the Light M3. Oh well...

Anyway, that naming system created some confusion in the US Army too, so they eventually stopped giving the same number to different tanks. Bukvoed 18:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
