Default Turrets or no turrets ...

A turret-less Stuart would be more manageable than one with the turret.

(Not a highjack but a divergent thought) Many years ago I was fortunate enough to attend a military vehicle gathering in Upstate New York. It was so far up the state, it was an easy drive from Montreal. There was a dealer who had M3 Scout car bodies that had been cut into fours, and other tables with various New Old Stock bits and pieces for vehicles I knew from pictures but had not developed an appreciation for.

I got to ride in the back of a halftrack. They are smaller than I'd expected. Maybe too many low angle photographs of soldiers from a shorter generation ... And, I got to ride in the turret of an M3. I have no idea whose it was. But I was impressed at how simple and how small it was inside. An average-sized man of today would be very cramped getting into the driver's seat.

The attachment is from the Interweb but just an illustration of how small WWII vehicles were, with a modern vehicle for reference.
