In September 1941, the T-60 light tank entered mass production in order to demonstrate its excellent combat efficiency for 3 more years. Its excellent maneuverability and cruising range promoted the tank to recon missions. The frontal armor of the T-60 was skewed at a reasonable angle and could withstand fire from large-caliber machine guns and small-caliber cannons. Additionally its auto-cannon allowed it to eliminate lightly armored targets. For their high driving properties and low profile Germans called these tanks "ineradicable locust".

In game
The T-60 has a relatively low profile; equipped with a 20mm TNSh auto-cannon, it can effectively deal with light armored vehicles and infantry. The T-60's frontal armor can withstand a 20 mm flak 38 (single barreled) for a short period of time but not for the entire salvo. The tank is also very handy in flanking big tanks and taking out the engine/treads or even put the engine on fire. Compared to the T-26 the T-60 is better when it comes down to survivability due to its low profile and 20 mm auto-cannon.
