The BT-5 was an improvement on previous models. These were themselves close-copies, with specific modifications, of the US Christie M1931 “race tank”. The BT-5 shared with its predecessors the suspension, the hull (though slightly reinforced) and equipment. The turret was new, roomier and fitted for the first time with the standard 45 mm (1.77 in) gun, also used on the T-26. But this transition was not clear-cut. The BT-5 was preceded by the BT-4. Three prototypes of the latter were built in 1932 with a partially riveted, partially welded hull and modified suspension.
Finnish use: Finnish Army units used small number of captured BT-5 tanks in 1941 - 1942.
The file contains all the sounds and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow provided the animation files and Ares de Borg did the sounds. I merely put the pieces together and cleaned up the model for CivIII and added some what if pieces. A big thanks to everyone that helped out!
