A light self-propelled gun built on an M5 tank Chassis, produced since 1942. Mounted in an open turret, the 75 mm gun was not effective against enemy tanks, however it performed well when used for infantry support. The open top, wich left the crew vulnerable, and the weak armor were somewhat compensated for with good speed and manoeuvrability. Towards the end of 1944, the medium Sherman tank completely replaced the M8 Scott on the battlefield.

In-Game
This 75 mm gun makes it a good tank against infantry. However with the cost of 17 points, no armor penetration and weak armor it is wiser spend on the greyhound or on the M19 to neutralize enemy infantry.
