Light Tank
A US Army Cavalry tank on patrol.
Tankers typically carried .45 caliber pistols, and .45 caliber submachine guns.
Troops often have to dismount to check the vehicle, or observe the enemy, or even evacuate a damaged vehicle.
The driver and machine gunner observe from their open hatches.
Extra road wheel for additional armor protection, but mostly for repairs if one gets damaged.
Commander and cannon gunner in the turret.
