What kind of tanks? LT - dangerous World of Tanks tanks. LT against "heavy". Who will win

Not all players World of Tanks From beginners, green novices to experienced “tankers” who have more than a thousand battles behind them, they know that light tanks on the battlefield are a dangerous adversary. It would seem, what's so scary about them? There is virtually no armor; the guns of most vehicles of this class are more reminiscent in their parameters large-caliber machine gun . But, as combat operations show, these “babies” are capable of causing a lot of trouble in battle.

Get into the field of view of an enemy scout

A fast, maneuverable enemy can take a commanding height, hide behind bushes or trees, and “passively shine”, giving your team your coordinates and the location of your allies. This is one of his important fighting qualities. In this case, the “sixth sense” skill of the “World of Tanks” game will greatly help “fighters” on “heavy” and medium tanks. Even with a three-second delay, it will become clear that the direction of the attack has been revealed, and an urgent need to change tactics. If the “bulb” is not pumped up, then at the beginning of the battle you must definitely agree with your tanks or “pets” about cooperation. Their viewing radius will help identify the enemy spy and send him to the hangar.

LT against "heavy". Who will win ?

Despite the “cardboard” armor and small caliber gun, the World of Tanks “firefly” can be a serious threat. Primarily for massive and clumsy heavy tanks. Due to its speed and maneuverability, it can easily get close to a TT and inflict damage on less protected units. Primarily on the engine compartment and tracks. It can penetrate the side and damage the ammunition rack. Constantly moving, it will not provide the opportunity to return fire, or it will position itself in such a way that the heavy air defense system will not allow shooting at the annoying light vehicle. Experienced enemies alone are capable of destroying a heavy tank one on one. There is only one way out in such a situation - the help of allies. Any of them located nearby is able to “crit” several nodes at the enemy or completely destroy him. Therefore, during the battle you need to constantly to interact with the rest of the allied equipment. Of course, it’s good when there is plenty of game gold. Then problems are solved faster.

Enemy light tank in the rear of the team

No less dangerous is the enemy “firefly”, which has broken through the front line and reached the rear of the team. Not only will he begin to transmit location players, but will also be able to reach the poorly protected and clumsy “art”. After the latest updates, when the technical characteristics of self-propelled artillery have noticeably deteriorated, its role during battle has greatly decreased. But it’s also impossible to completely ignore self-propelled guns in the World of Tanks game. Even heavily “nerfed”, it is capable of causing significant damage to the enemy. And when the enemy spy begins to destroy one artillery installation after another, the team’s combat potential is noticeably reduced and so are the chances of victory.

We have already covered the necessary equipment, skills for the crew and the basic principles of playing the LT. All that remains is to choose the best light tank for these purposes.

Characteristics for choosing LT

Let's look at the main characteristics of ranking light tanks of level 8 World of Tanks for LBZ 15.
These include:

• Masking coefficient– a very important parameter for LT, affecting the overall visibility in the game. This coefficient for the class of light tanks is the same when moving and stationary. The higher it is, the less noticeable the technique is in the game. When shooting, the coefficient clearly decreases, which is strictly not recommended for use in a passive light position.
• Power density– a parameter influencing the overall dynamics. The faster a tank takes a key position for active or passive coverage, the more benefit it will bring to the team.
• View range– a parameter that affects the detection range of the enemy, taking into account its camouflage coefficient. Above 445 meters, we will not be able to detect the enemy, but we will be able to detect camouflaged targets at the maximum accessible distance for us.
• Damage per minute (DPM)– parameter, shows the value damage caused per unit of time. The greater the damage, the faster we send the enemy to the hangar.
• Tank HP (HP)– parameter shows the amount of safety margin of the tank.

A table with the main characteristics is presented:


Having compared the characteristics, two clear leaders who are most suitable for passing LBZ LT 15 are highlighted with a green marker. It remains to determine which of them is the best!

German light tank tier 8 RU 251 superior to French in almost all respects AMX 13 90. But if you take a closer look at them, you can see a significant difference.

- approximately the same. But don’t forget about the size of the tanks themselves. After all, the detection of tanks occurs by the overall points of the tank (yellow dots in the image), located in the middle of each side of the tank. Thus, smaller sizes are easier to camouflage in vegetation and have less chance of detection.

— power density The RU 251 is slightly superior to the AMX 13 90. All tankers are well aware that excellent tank dynamics play an important role, it contributes to the speed of movement from flank to flank and the speed of evading artillery shells.

— viewing range tank is the same.
— strength The RU 251 is superior to the AMX 13 90 by 100 units, which can sometimes change the outcome of the battle.
— damage per minute Among its peers, the AMX 13 90 is the smallest, but do not forget that the tank has a drum loading system with 6 shells causing 240 units of damage. This allows you to deal more than 1400 units of damage in 15 seconds; a full reload with a 100% crew is 42 seconds.

Results

To summarize, we can conclude that French tank tier 8 AMX 13 90 is the best light tank for completing the LBZ LT 15 . Main features: stealth due to its camouflage and size; a charged drum poses a danger to the enemy.

Naturally, LBZ can also be carried out on other tanks, but the successful completion of the task does not depend on the chosen tank, but on many factors. Such as: direct hands, correct analysis of the situation in battle, adequate allies and of course GBR (Great Belarusian Random).

Whoever decides what map to play on, what kind of enemy you will face, who will be on the allied team and what damage you will do!

A light in the end of a tunnel.
World of tanks. A much-loved game from Russia and the CIS countries. In the European and part of the world, “Tanchiki” did not receive such a big hype and popularity, because this game contains a huge amount of patriotism, pride in one’s country and joy from past victories.
Less than a year after the launch of the beta test, the game received the most important thing - players. At that moment, more than one million accounts were registered on the RU cluster.

Recently I wondered:
What is he, the best light tank in World of Tanks.

Today, after the release of patch 9.3, I decided to analyze the situation in the game and still decide which of them is the best, and who will never return from under the Serb’s file.

Let's start with the fact that light tanks have unique gameplay. Their task in the game is to “highlight” enemy tanks, giving fresh information to the battlefield.

Light is divided into 2 types - active and passive.
An active light is a light that is constantly moving, moving almost under the “nose” of the opponent’s team, and is constantly in “light.”
The passive one, on the contrary, must stand without moving, but bringing the same actual benefit in the form of light. Such light must remain completely invisible.

Since there are two types of exposure in our game, there will be two winners.
So, let's begin.

Here is a list of the best, in my personal opinion, the best light tanks in our game:

• LTTB
• Spähpanzer Ru 251
• AMX 13 90
• M41 Walker Bulldog
• ELC AMX

Let's talk about each separately.

1.LTTB
Let's remember one small tank. He was fast, lightning fast, elusive and deadly in direct hands. His name is T50-2. They were afraid of him. Loved. They cherished and cherished. Respected. But. In patch 0.8.7. it was mercilessly replaced by its much more stripped-down version, the MT-25. He was “reborn” into a fat version of himself and became slower. His times are over. And so, when there is no longer any hope for his return, only the crew collecting dust on the hangar beds remains, HE returns. Remade again, but very similar to himself, “young” and reactive.
LTTB is a light tank with heavy armor.
He moved up to level 7 and now has about 30 HP/T!!!
Thus, he acquired a new, thicker cannon, a little less rapid-fire, but with its help it is already easier to fight with dozens, with whom he mainly fights.

But, in comparison with other light vehicles, its weapon is extremely weak and it is only suitable for quick exposure.
This tank may lay claim to the best active firefly, but let's take a look at its competitors.

2. Spähpanzer Ru 251
The second contender for victory is RU251, german tank level eight, introduced in this patch.
What advantages does it have over other LT?
First of all, He is fast. So fast that it has the most fast speed in the game - 80 km/h.
Secondly, its gun has a huge penetration, compared to other LT guns.
Thirdly, pleasant horizontal aiming angles, 5.8 degrees to be exact.
Fourthly, it is small in height, does not stick out from the bushes so much and can cast consistently.
But, it also has disadvantages. One of the brightest - it can be pierced from any angle. There is no armor anywhere.

3.AMX 13 90
It is impossible not to mention this tank. His drum is highly valued among all players. A “ninety” flying at someone was always a very dangerous adversary. It may shine, but it disappears against the background of new light tanks.
Its drum with 6 shells of 240 damage each can destroy even level 9–10 tanks. But the worst thing about this tank is this moment- its stabilization on the move and overall accuracy equal to 0.36.

4. M41 Walker Bulldog
Absolutely new tank, which has no direct analogues among any tanks in our game.
10(!) shells in one drum with a reload time of 2 seconds between shots. Impressive. Despite the fact that it is also nimble and quite fast.

5.ELC AMX.
A little killer with a very powerful weapon. One small bush is enough for him to do his tricky job. Damage per shot - 240 units. Moreover, the penetration is 170. Moreover, the “gold” is 248!
Maximum speed - 65 km/h. Not enough.
But the crazy disguise does its job.
The most disgusting thing about this tank is the speed up to full information. 2.5 seconds. This is a bit much for a light tank.
But, everyone will be happy to get used to the stern of the AMX 50 100, because he will not be able to oppose anything if you keep up with his movements. His gun simply won’t land on such a low tank.
So, let's summarize.

Best light tank for aggressive play:
RU251!

This is a real machine that can turn the outcome of a battle in your favor if you know how to use it. Good weapon, excellent camouflage, speed and good crew- all this together can help you create beautiful fights and enjoy every fight.

Best tank for passive play:
ELC AMX.

An ideal tank for standing in the bushes and shooting targets flying past. But, oddly enough, it is universal.
If you want to bend over on a light tank, then these two options are for you. Their only big disadvantage is that both of them have terrible tanks going along the branch before them. And, if you want to get them, you will have to suffer, but it’s worth it.

But the most important thing is that light tanks are an endangered species in our game. And everyone who nevertheless chooses this class of technology for themselves must understand that not everything is so simple. Everything requires experience. Not the one you can buy for gold. Experience in operating these machines. Believe my experience, every LT-vod has encountered this: draining at the beginning of the battle with zero damage; you arrive at your favorite place - in the light, you die; one-shot from art; turntables and the like. But, remember, the more of us, the cleaner the randomness, because thanks to us, ordinary players can play normally, who, just like you, are tormented by this “great” and “complex” class of equipment like Artillery.

We continue our parade best tanks on your damage and your class, and in the last, fifth part,

We continue our parade of the best tanks in their damage and in their class, and in the last, fifth part, we will look at light tanks. Let's start the review, of course, with level 1, and end with level 8, respectively.

Who would doubt about the first level? Once upon a time, before the change in the design bureau format, it was irreplaceable, because almost the outcome of the battle depended on it. These were the eyes of the team, and in some cases, an excellent invader, and his crushing machine gun could deliver good module damage and even death to the Nineties, Sotkas and Borschts. Yes, yes and yes again, this is a T1 Cunningham, no MS-1s, no British mediums or French Renaults. Only T1, only hardcore. Machine gun in in capable hands capable of destroying even some 2nd levels. The dynamics, although not the best, are enough for the first level. We will calmly put the armor on a high shelf to gather dust and not even say a word about it, since talking about armor at level 1 will be ridiculous. We won’t bombard you with lengthy praise of this beauty and just sum it up, let’s say that the tank is universal, playable, and in the right hands it’s even crushing and flexible.

Pros:
- Magnificent 20mm machine gun
- Acceptable dynamics
- Rear position of the tower, which allows us to go around corners and cause damage
- High rate of fire inside the drum

Minuses:
- Long drum reload (about 10 sec)
- Front engine

They talk about this tank... But they don’t say anything. It takes 2-3 battles and is forgotten like an uninteresting dream. But in vain, since the tank is very interesting and can be a pleasure to play on it. The groove is quite versatile, having acceptable dynamics for level 2 and a very good weapon. 37 mm with a penetration of 42 mm, reload time about 2.5 seconds. and mixing in 1.7 seconds, very good performance. The armor resists only some weak machine guns, and occasionally guns with a penetration of 25 mm or more. Our 11 tons are accelerated by a 220-horsepower engine, so we dare not complain about the maximum speed. Finally, let’s say that the tank is very interesting and we advise everyone to play it while going through a branch, or just at their leisure.

Pros:
- Good maneuverability and dynamics
- Frontal armor for level 2 can withstand blows
- Decent visibility (290 m)
- Quick aiming of the gun (1.7 sec)

Minuses:
- Long turn of the tower
- The sides and stern are pretty cardboard

Imba level 3, because there is no other way to say it. An 8mm machine gun can incinerate tanks 1 level higher than us. The armor for level 3 is rather weak, but looking at the maximum speed, we can safely say that armor is not the main thing for it, because the maximum speed is 79 km/h. Not every enemy will be able to hit us, but if they do, then there is a 20-30 percent chance that there will be a ricochet or no penetration. But this is all a matter of chance and only you can decide how the battle will end, but in the end we will say that the tank will bring a lot of pleasure and fun during its passage.

Pros:
- Excellent top speed (79 km/h)
- Crushing machine gun
- Small and compact dimensions
- Good review

Minuses:
- Average armor
- Low armor penetration

Surely you thought that the Chinese would bypass us, but that was not the case. Fast, rapid fire, with excellent review and just a great tank. M5A1 only causes trouble when leveling it up to the top state, and then we simply and without sudden movements move to the next tank. The gun has indicators acceptable for level 4: 81 mm of penetration, which is quite good at our level, damage of 70 units with a reload of 2.5 seconds. Stabilization, of course, is rather poor, but in close combat the tank copes with the enemy very quickly. As always, booking with us is a matter of taste. light tank, that is, none. Sometimes we can still get a ricochet due to our 45 degrees of armor tilt, but this happens quite rarely. And so we get a very playable and playful tank, which puts it in first place among tier 4 tanks.

Pros:
- Good dynamics
- Good UGN
- Compact size
- Acceptable visibility of 330 m

Minuses:
- Frequent engine crits
- Weak armor on the sides and stern

Little Chaffee deserves the honorary title of the best level 5 LT. It is good, of course, because of its visibility of 390 m and good maneuverability. The gun also does not let us down, because the CD is 2.5 seconds and the damage is 110 with a penetration of 96 mm, it’s like a bee’s sting that bites weakly but often. The cross-country ability and dynamics are generally impressive, as we feel free on different soils. Based on the excellent dynamics and visibility, we get an excellent tank for spotting and in some situations for supporting allies. Passing a tank will not cause you problems and waste of nerve cells.

Pros:
- Excellent dynamics
- Best review at the level
- Excellent stabilization
- Best top speed (77 km/h)

Minuses:
- Lack of armor as such in all projections
- Weak armor penetration

A newcomer, but already gained quite a reputation. The tank does an excellent job of its job, namely, the job of a firefly. And he can shoot too, thanks to a gun with 150 penetration and 115 damage. Reload time is around 3 seconds, and stabilization is at an acceptable level. The maximum speed of the tank is 66 km/h, which is very good for a light tank. The visibility also did not disappoint - 385 m, so it will not be difficult for us to highlight the enemy while being in the bushes, rushing all over the battlefield.

Pros:
- Remarkable speed and maneuverability
- Rapid-fire cannon
- Good review

Minuses:
- Poor armor performance
- Very mediocre body dimensions

A tank that is incredibly popular, a tank that torments its enemies with its drum, a tank that brings a lot of fun and fun. Yes, this is our crazy stool - T71. Magnificent drum with 6 shells of 150 units of damage and penetration of 175. Unsurpassed maximum speed at 64 km/h with a mass of 18 tons. Of course, we will not say anything about the armor, since 25 mm in the forehead, although at an angle, will not give us anything, because we will not have to fight with levels 8, 9 and 10. The tank is very interesting and will bring you pleasure while passing it.

Pros:
- The presence of a drum for 6 shells
- High maximum speed and agility
- Small sizes
- Great overview

Minuses:
- Poor gun stabilization
- Lowest safety margin at the level

This choice will cause quite a lot of controversy, because at level 8 almost every tank can take first place, but still neither the ninety, nor the T49, nor anything else, namely the unsurpassed RUshka with its magnificent maximum speed of 80 km/ h, an acceptable and universal weapon, a low silhouette and remarkable UGN. And now some numbers: penetration 190 mm, damage 240 units, reduction 2.1 seconds, spread 0.36, and CD about 6 seconds. Quite average indicators, but they are quite enough. Our dynamic indicators are as follows: maximum speed of 80 km/h, agility of 38 degrees/sec, and acceleration ability of top level. Reservations in the light tank genre: 25 mm at the front of the hull and 20 mm around the turret, that is, everyone who hits us penetrates us. But our job, of course, is not tanking, but highlighting opponents and helping our allies. The tank is quite pleasant to play through, but still requires the ability to play LT, otherwise you will simply fade away on it, never revealing the potential of this tank in battle.

Pros:
- Universal weapon
- Excellent top speed
- Overview of 400 m
- Low profile

Minuses:
- Quite picky chassis
- Long projectile flight (unlike single-level LT)

As a result of this article, I would like to say that you should not forget about the main purpose of a light tank, and do not fly to the center of the map at the beginning of the battle for an instant drain. Tactics on LT are much more difficult than on other classes, because you not only shine, but also help your allies by keeping the enemy on the rink or distracting him. A light tank should always bring the team information about the location of the enemy, otherwise the team will simply stand at the base or, having gone in one direction, will lose by capturing its base. Be careful when playing on LT and good luck in your battles!
