It is difficult to be more specific when so much is wrong. The page needs a complete re-write.

I will re-write a small portion so you can see what I mean.

What factual accuracy is disputed?? King nothing 13:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Removing the accuracy tag as I can find no errors. Its development, deployment history, and variants all appear correct. Feel free to re-tag it but please provide any actual disputed fact. Tofof 00:23, 9 June 2

Well done and overdue. DMorpheus 14:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

--Ldsandon (talk) 19:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC) In "Don Camillo e l'onorevole Peppone" Peppone says they sized a German tank, but Don Camillo soon discovers the white star on the tank, and when he says "it wasn't a retreating German tank, it was an advancing Americans' one" Peppone replies something alike "you know Italy, people come, people go..."

Uff, not acourate at all, tank was extemely unreliable, had aughfull reputatión among crews. extreme problems in sycronizing the two engins. --Elloza (talk) 22:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Question re: gun comment

The article states 'A new lightweight 75 mm gun was developed, a derivative of the gun used in the B-25H Mitchell bomber' – last time I checked, the B-25 was a medium bomber with a bunch of .50 cals, not 75 mm. cannon... 209.236.231.253 03:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Read B-25 Mitchell. Megapixie 04:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

My mistake. 209.236.231.253 03:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Guns of Navarone?

I seem to remember seeing M24s portraying German tanks in Guns of Navarone, which is at least as notable as some of the other films.

Can anyone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TariqAlSuave (talk • contribs) 22:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

One more request, I spesifically recall seeing one in Full Metal Jacket. Correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spearman (talk • contribs) 20:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Cavalry Unit Designations

Cavalry units are designated Troop and Squadron, not Company and Battalion. So I believe the relevant portion of this article should read "F Troop, 2nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion (Mechanized) and F Troop, 42nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion (Mechanized)" instead of "F Company, 2nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion and F Company, 42nd Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion".

M24 Chaffee in PC Games

I remember playing the M24 Chaffee light tank in the classic PC-Game Conqueror as a kid. It was one of the first 3D games at the time and I believe it deserves a mention under the section of appearances in fiction. This section can be created simply by expanding and then renaming the "in popular culture" to include the M24 Chaffee appearances in other forms of media.

I updated the article in the popular culture section. The PC-Game cover shot and release year can be found here. I know it is not much but it is at least proof of the PC-Game's existence.
