The US Rock Island Arsenal created the M1921 Medium Tank, following WW1. It suffered from two negatives: not enough engine power and post-war budget cuts.
So, the US armor soldiered on into the next decade and and a half with a sparse quantity of retread M1917 Renault Light Tank copies, some Christie experiments, before eventually alighting on the path that lead to the M3 and M4 of WW2
What might have appeared IF the M1921 designs were approved and allowed to work the bugs out and move on to a real second generation follow-on?
