In late 1940, US engineers started a project to adapt the 3-inch anti-aircraft gun T9 to an anti-tank role. The result was named M5 and entered service with the US Army in December 1942. Thanks to the high muzzle velocity of its round and excellent armor penetration capabilities this gun succeeded in replacing the early AT guns, quickly becoming ineffective against new German tanks.

In-Game
This fieldgun has greater armor penetration then the M4A2 but slightly less then the Sherman (w76) This fieldgun is excellent in early games to counter medium tanks/infantry due to its cheapness and calibre.
