T-70 tank appeared in 1942 using the same chassis as T 40. The turret was redesigned and welded, with a semi-circular hatch in the roof. Hull armour was modified. Engine power was doubled. One model (M) had increased armour and slightly more powerful engines. Production ceased in late 1943. Combat performance wasn't good when the commander also had to be loader and gunner. Nevertheless over 8.000 vehicles of all types were built from March 1942 to October 1943.
