The M41 Walker Bulldog is a Tier 1 progression Light Tank under Sophie Wölfli's dealership.

History[ | ]

Class: Light Tank
Developed: 1949
Service: 1951+
Vehicles Built: 5467
Operators: USA, South Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil and more than two dozen other countries

Designed by Cadillac in the United States of America, the M41 was built to replace the M24 Chaffee WW2-era Light Tank, which had proven to be obsolete during the Korean War. The role of Light Tanks in the U.S. Army was both to scout and support with fire, but as more modern Soviet tanks started to appear, it was rather clear that the age of Light Tanks was over (at least for a while). The M41 Walker Bulldog (named after General Walton Walker, who had died in 1950 in a car accident) stayed in service from 1951 through the late 1960s with the US Army before the need to replace it with something carrying superior firepower arose, resulting in the adoption of M551 Sheridan. The tank was, however, rugged and reliable with many other countries continuing to use modified versions of the vehicle even to this day. The M41 saw combat during the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Vietnam War.
