The T70 Recon tank replace the T60. Armed with the 45mmL46 main gun it entered service in 1942 but by the end of 1943 it was accepted that the tank was too lightly armed and armoured for the battlefield conditions of the time. Production ended in October 1943, with over 8000 having been produced, though the T70 was still used in combat until the end of the war.
