Hol up, I thought the M24 turret was fixed in place on the Wolfhound for testing purposes only
Issue there again is those are worse candidates for the 3.7-6.3 Light tank gap since they would be lower/equal to the M24 with the Wolfhound being wheeled but having a worse Hp/t and the T7 having a worse hp/t and not a much more meaningful amount of armour.
My proposal would be for the M41 protoype at 5.3/5.7 and the M41A1 to have APDS removed and go down to 5.7 and the M41A3 to be placed at the 6.3 BR the A1 is now.

It was… but Gaijin can ignore it, just like Radkampfwagen 90. It qualifies as an incomplete/partially-built prototype and still could have a place in the game.

Got anything that would be 5.X?
I know I’m being silly but US 5.7 is one of my favorite line-ups, so I light tank for it would be nice. (It’ll probably be ripped away like the T77E1 was for the 3.7 line-up)
I don’t have the specifics on hand rn, but I recall hearing that the various prototypes that led up to the M41 were actually more advanced than the production model in some ways. Some had features like autoloaders, rangefinders etc.
Edit: T41 had stabilizer 👀

Good point. If they’re cool with it then I’m cool with it.
True… but they can find their place at 4.X after M24, which partially addresses the lower part of the gap.
If the reload is faster than the M18, then the caliber size doesn’t matter. I can agree with the placement of 4.7 BR.
What BR would you place this at?
I hope it comes with a .50 cal even though it wasn’t pictured with one.
Looks like it has the same turret as M24 series prototype and that one was seen with roof .50
4.0 is ideal, and 4.3 is the maximum for its potential BR placement.
The thread of that suggestion found a photo of the tank still retaining the mount at the rear of the turret.
To quote that commenter:

Now that would be cool at 4.0 with APCR.
Sure would! I don’t think there’s a suggestion for it though
Bro Germany just ignores light tanks and has spgs instead. Also what tank would fill the gap?
It looks incredibly similar to the chaffee
Most easy solution is move 234/2 to Rank III and someday also add Pz.Sfl.II 7,5 cm K.37 L/40.

That is at 3.7
And then until 6.7 Germany doesn’t have a light tank
It’s got the Puma
I included photos of T24 to show prototypes could still have the .50 cal, and that is (as you point out) simply a M24 but without commander cupola.
The T24E1 however had same engine as M18 Hellcat, you can tell by the enlarged engine compartment:
T24 = M24 prototype with no commander cupola
T24E1 = T24 with engine from M18 Hellcat
