Light tanks of France

The French branch of development is the most curious and innovative branch of tanks, which is available in the open spaces of the World of Tanks game. If anyone remembers, after the release of this particular nation, the gameplay of the game has changed for the better and added a huge part to the sphere of battle dynamics. Consider this nation from the LT line , since the machines of this class are the favorite combat prototypes of all players, and it is the representative called AMX 13 90 that is the first one to be noticed and started to use in tournament battles of the 7/42 format.

A little bit about the technique itself

Considering these military vehicles for the first time, you involuntarily ask yourself how these tanks can generally ride and fight? They have very weak armor, an inconvenient shooting tower, a lack of normal vertical guidance, and some combat vehicles in general cause a real attack of disgust. But anyway, these tanks have good fighting potential, and some of them can decide the outcome of the battle.

The LT branch from France is represented by 9 tanks, among which there are neither gift nor premium cars. All of the techniques are available in free research to any player. But you should immediately prepare for the fact that the first steps in this nation can scare you away, so you should stand and grind your teeth, but gradually get to level 5, from this level all your military affairs will go up the hill and you can enjoy the game .

So, what awaits us up to level 5? Among the initial cars there is Renault FT , which does not represent anything of itself, but at times it resembles an awkward tank. Next we will be met by the combat monster D1 , although it is very difficult to name the monster, because of its very weak armament. Then they will give us a ride on Hotchkiss H35 and AMX 38 , these tanks are already getting better and can show themselves well in some battles. And then, we'll get AMX 40 , the most unfortunate and worst tank in the game. Do not listen to those players who claim that he is capable of many things and can bend, it's a lie! They just got lucky a couple of times. This horror on caterpillars is generally better, if possible, to pass on free experience, since well, nothing in it is positive, not one indicator that could boast it against the background of other machines. Although he has a strong armor, but weak points in the tower very quickly became known to all players and after that he fell and filled up the collection of "ugly" tanks. But starting from level 5, things go much better and they start with a technique called ELC AMX , which everyone affectionately calls "Christmas tree". This is a very interesting combat vehicle that perfectly combines specificity and huge combat potential, if you learn how to play it correctly, you can perform miracles on the battlefield. Especially this applies to the next 3 combat vehicles, which are referred to as: AMX 12 t, AMX 13 75 and AMX 13 90. These tanks are the real crown of creation of tank-building class light tanks. These machines are designed to make the maximum indicator of utility in combat. But despite this, absolutely any combat vehicle has both weak and strong sides.

Positive and negative sides

Let's first consider what is the advantage of these combat vehicles. If, for example, we discard the initial levels of development, which already have practically the same minuses, we will affect the cars from level 5. These tanks have excellent speed, have a multi-charge charging drum, which allows for one attack to produce more than 4 shots at the enemy. To this, it is necessary to prescribe excellent weapons, which perfectly combines both the damage and the penetration rate. And finally, it is worth noting their reduced silhouette. Which adds not only a bonus to invisibility, but also allows you to use the features of the hilly terrain for tactical attack or retreat.

Regarding the negative moments, it is worth noting extremely weak reservations, the lack of normal vertical guidance (it is practically nonexistent), and there is also an error in terms of accuracy, which excludes the option of firing from afar.

Comparison of top-end combat vehicles

At this time in terms of comparison, we take several machines at once, the ruler of which starts at level 5. We will do this for one reason - this is absolute leadership. Yes, French RTs could occupy the prevailing positions at their levels, and no similar tank of the other nation can compete with them. Unless the American T71 is ready to compete with them and the owner of the leader's place should be considered it, but it all depends on the skills of the owner of the tank, according to the TTX T71 and AMX 13 75 almost identical and are on the same line on the combat potential. No other nation is able to compete with French RTs and the reason for this is a multi-charged drum that can destroy any LT of another nation in one attack.

Recommended equipment and modules

So, the backbone of the crew is three members, it's the commander, the driver-mechanic and the gunner, so with the initial decision to pump the crew's skills and go to the end of the branch, it is necessary that these three crew members are constantly transplanted and continue to learn the recommended skills. For example, for a commander, it is best to study a light bulb, repair and combat brotherhood. The gunner must have the skills: repair, smooth turn of the tower, battle brotherhood. A mechanic driver should have: repair, smooth running and fighting brotherhood. These skills are mandatory, since they have a positive effect on the combat potential of tanks. As for further development, then you can learn skills at your own discretion, and the skills listed must necessarily be studied.

Regarding equipment, it is better to use a standard scheme: a fire extinguisher, a small first aid kit and a small repair kit. And as modules to install: the clarified optics, the improved ventilation and the strengthened drives of aiming.

Tactical application

Having decided to play the French LT, be prepared to act in the very epicenter of the battle and constantly move. No defensive tactics or sniping. The tactics of active assault and light are exceptionally suitable for you. That is, you will have to try to shine the enemy tanks, and also try to find single targets, so that for one drum to thoroughly deal with them. Also, the duties of the LT should include the protection of automatic control systems and the complete destruction of PT-ACS , as well as the interception of enemy aircraft. In general, when playing these tanks, prepare for a huge responsibility and dynamic game, which you obviously like.
