Light Tanks

Light Tanks are small, generally cheap, lightly armoured Tanks. Many are fast with a maximum tier of VII (for V7, Tier V light tanks were added, and for V7.1, Tier VI and VII Tanks were added). Despite their often miniscule damage, many Light Tanks are remarkable as scouts.

The high speed and small size of many Light Tanks allow them to have a high probability of avoiding artillery fire, and to take advantage of gaps in the enemy's defences to locate and destroy enemy artillery. If a Light Tank gets close to an enemy Tank Destroyer, it can easily use its mobility to keep out of the TD's firing angle while destroying the helpless vehicle. However, many Mediums have the mobility and power to easily destroy Light Tanks, while Heavy Tanks will generally have enough armour to ignore Light Tanks most of the time, so co-ordination with allied artillery is required to destroy these vehicles.

Light Tanks have a 100% Camouflage Factor while idle or moving, and a 15% Camouflage Factor while firing.
