The T71 is an American tier 7 light tank. This is also the last American light tank.
This experimental tank was designed as a replacement design for the M41 Bulldog. There were two designs of this tank, one with a oscillation turret and an autoloading 76mm gun. The other was more conventional, without the autoloading mechanism and with a shot and load 76mm gun. Both designs lost to the T92 but was lighter than it.
Unlike its predecessor, the T21, this tank has an autoloader. Its play style is very similar to the french tanks of its tier, such as the AMX 13 75. It has weak armor, so don't get caught out in the open.
The T71 leads to the T69.
