the m24 "chaffee" was intended to replace the aging and obsolete light tank m5 ("stuart"), which was used in supplementary roles. crews liked the improved off-road performance and reliability, but were most appreciative of the 75 mm main gun, which was a vast improvement over the 37 mm. the m24's light armor made it vulnerable to enemy tanks, anti-tank guns, and hand-held anti-tank weapons.
