	The '''M8 Light Armored Car''', (Called the '''Greyhound''' by the Brits, Official US sources never called it that.) was a reconnaissance and infantry support vehicle operated by the Allies, ~~principaly~~ the United States and Great Britain. In terms of on-road mobility there was nothing that could beat it, although it operated somewhat unreliable in off-road conditions and in forests where its large turn radius made it easy to get stuck between trees. However, it proved to be an effective support vehicle for advancing infantry and served as the basis of some [[Cold War]] IFVs.

	The vehicle earned its reputation as being a ferocious and dangerous vehicle in the hands of the American operators. One unconfirmed story from the war tells of an M8 crew rushing an unaware Panther and shooting it up the ass, causing a fire in the engine and killing the tank. Against the IJA, who tended to use lighter armor, the vehicle proved excellent in jungle fighting as both an anti-infantry and anti-tank platform. The design was so decent that it survived after the Korean war.		The vehicle earned its reputation as being a ferocious and dangerous vehicle in the hands of the American operators.
