Many of these older light tanks were designed as more general-purpose vehicles, and thus many of their in-game representations are more well-rounded than the dedicated scout lights of the middle to upper tiers. This is most true at the lower tiers, where most of the early historical light tanks are. Light tanks are also adept at hunting down enemy artillery batteries and are incredibly difficult for artillery to kill due to their small size and incredible speed.Īs with all classes in the game, while most light tanks share similar characteristics there are those which deviate from these norms. Light tanks can easily circle tank destroyers and slow moving heavy tanks when caught without support. With more room to move around, light tanks are capable of aggressively spotting or flanking unsuspecting targets and escaping just as quickly. Light tanks become especially dangerous later in the game when the map is less populated. Light tanks are well equipped to spot enemy targets in order for their more heavily armed teammates to safely take shots at them, all while staying safe from enemy fire themselves. Light tanks prior to update 9.18 received special matchmaking where they were treated as being a tier higher than they actually were, but now receive normal matchmaking.īecause of their physical frailty and their strong spotting and concealment abilities, light tanks are usually best played as scouts. In return for their lack of firepower and protection, light tanks get superb view ranges and also benefit from great camo values which stay the same regardless of whether the tank is stationary or moving (a feature unique to light tanks). Light tanks usually feature smaller, rapid fire guns and typically fall just short of medium tanks with regards to firepower (though this disparity becomes smaller in the higher tiers). They lack the armor necessary to protect them from most guns in the game and are especially vulnerable to ramming. This makes light tanks the fastest class of vehicles in the game, but also the most fragile (second only to artillery). Most light tanks sacrifice armor protection for speed and maneuverability.
