The M22 Light Tank, Locust, was a small tank that was designed to be carried by heavy gliders or transport aircraft and used to support airborne operations. Although it was a technical success it wasn't of great tactical value, and only 6 of the 830 that were built were actually used in combat.
The Locust was only used once in combat. On 24 March 1945 six of them were used by the 6th Airborne Recce Regiment, 6th Armoured Division, during the crossing of the Rhine. By the time it had been built the M22 was thinly armoured, under-gunned, cramped and awkward to operate, and of very limited tactical use against the German tanks and anti-tank weapons of 1944-45.
The file contains the unit and pcx files. Model is not my own creation. Wyrmshadow helped with the animation files. 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!
