The M3 design process began in July 1940, as a derivative of the T5, the
T5E2. By then, the M4 Sherman, a 75 mm (2.95 in) armed medium tank, was
already scheduled for production. But many features, like the full
rotating turret design, were far from ready and the US industrial
capacity not mature enough for the required production values. The T5
design came as an interim, quickly designed and built model. The rushed
designed was then required both by US Army needs and the United
Kingdom’s demand for 3,650 medium tanks (by then a British proposal for
US-built Crusaders and Matilda was rejected). It was basically a scaled
up M2, with better armor, a much higher and wider hull, in order to
mount an offset 75 mm (2.95 in) gun in a traversable sponson on the
right side. The initial plans called for a full traverse turret equipped
with a single AA cal.30 (7.62 mm). The 75 mm (2.95 in) was meant to
deal both with static ground targets and other tanks, with its
armor-piercing projectiles and good velocity, but the 37 mm (1.46 in)
gun was still favored in this role. High explosive shells were carried
as well. An upper cupola was initially designed to house a cal.30 (7.62
mm) machine-gun., giving this model its cartoonish, caricatural
appearance, bristling with guns in turrets and sponsons, much like a
battleship.
