[ST] Initial Impression Rating: 6.5 /10 TLDW Stats Summary: - BMP-2 shaped, 'combat' light tank - Better penetration, alpha, accuracy, aim time for the 2x 50mm than tech tree counterpart's 2x 37mm --- but not as good velocity, gun angles, traverse speed - Barely more HP and little bit better armor than Vz. 64 but slower to rev and 7 km/hr slower with worse hull traverse - Same camo & view range as Vz. 64 - The slowest of tier 8 lights; plays like a fast medium rather than a light - Size is also comparable to a medium - Well thoroughly compared, it seems close to the mobility and penetration of something like a T-44-100 - Should be played more like a medium and stick closer to supporting mediums and heavies
Random: "so in the game, the caliber defines the damage of a gun?" WG: "yes" Random: "so, the bigger the gun, the higher the damage?" WG: "yes" Random: "so, more or less same caliber guns should have more or less same damage?" WG: "of course" Random: "50mm KwK of Pz III J has 70 alpha damage" WG: "yes" Random: "and the 50mm gun of new VZ. 68 only has 8 alpha damage?" WG: "absolutely"
I do hope that WG separate the LTs down the line, into like the 'combat' LTs and the spotting LTs and match the LTs according. While player skill and knowledge is a factor, trying to spot with something like a Sheridan into a Manticore is incredibly difficult.
Sahm you're forgot that penetration parameter in our game specified for RHA at 0 degree angle and on a distance before penetration starts drop off i.e.on 50m.
true, many factors in play; but still, an autocannon that (on WG's paper) can pen a tiger 1 frontally if shot point blank without angling is crazy to me
@@sahmlockhart Yeah the gap between reality and the game is still there. We even can put it like this: 50mm autocanon penetrates with the same eficiency as 120mm T53 gun on T34 tank :))

1st
I wish they did more alpha less clip size and ammo. 1000 of 50 mm is more than the total volume of that tank.
1400 damage in 4 seconds and 50mm of pen...... o boy
