Light tanks of Great Britain

After we completely disassembled the French combat vehicles , it was the turn to move on to the next nation and dismantle their equipment. At the next stage, the UK is waiting for us , which, like the USSR, has rather universal combat vehicles and good potential in battles. And it is today that we will analyze the development branch of LT , which in the top gently poured into the branch of ST , but we will not touch on the top representatives, we will analyze them in another review. So sit back and learn new information that will become for you the basis of fighting in and playing World of Tanks.

A little bit about the technique itself in the UK

Unlike other nations, Great Britain is ready to give us for pokatushki only 8 military units of equipment, one of which is a gift tank and in general does not represent a successful tank, is only a collector's trinket. As you understand, we are talking about Light Mk. VIC. Regarding other combat vehicles, their number ranks second in the minority class. The leader in this area is Japan , which has only 5 LT. But let's not go far from the topic and take a closer look at each tank in more detail.

Cruiser Mk. I - dynamic and killer, brisk and not properly booked, this tank did not like anyone, and it's a pity, in fact, it has a fairly high combat potential, however, only a professional player can reveal it.

Cruiser Mk. III - a modified version of the representative passed, which improved its performance in terms of combat effectiveness, but at the same time acquired a fairly meager set of weapons. As a firefly technique is excellent, as a fighter, the technique, alas, is not lucky.

Cruiser Mk. IV - continued development and improvement of the line of tanks of this series. The new model did not change much, added armor and slightly increased the yield of weapons, which, by the way, acquired a loading drum, but not a simple, but a cassette version, which in principle does not differ much from the original.

Cruiser Mk. II - too much controversy has grown around this battle tank, but do not be too critical of it. In order not to drive you astray, it's best to spend a couple of fights on it to personally assess its potential.

Valentine is an unusual tank that has a Soviet copy, which for some reason is much better than the original. Although we do not go into the interests of the war of the past. Therefore, it is worth to respectfully accept what is given. The tank is not bad and may appeal to most tankers.

Covenanter - innovative development of the UK, which met all expectations and plans of designers. This combat vehicle has a high combat potential, but only with proper application.

Crusader - a real emerald of the British tank building, which pleased not only the real tankers, but also very pleased and virtual tankers. This tank is simply excellent, but only for a random house, no more.

After we got a little acquainted with these foreign steel monsters, it's time to begin to study their weaknesses and features.

Strengths and weaknesses of the machinery of Great Britain

Concerning the advantages and disadvantages, then there is not much to say about this class. In terms of negative moments, this technique has a weak reservation, a low accuracy and weak popularity in the rando against all other nations. The technique itself is good and interesting, but it is not enough to compete with more powerful nations, or rather, their combat class representatives. Also worth noting is a weak penetration, which sometimes excludes the positive outcome of a collision with the enemy.

Of the positive moments, it is worth noting excellent maneuverability and speed, increased rate of fire and military ammunition, which is always sufficient in any situation.

Yes, not a lot of indicators and distinctive features, but this does not prevent players from passing a successful branch of development and sometimes admiring some of the results of the battle. Therefore, we will pass to the less positive point of our guide, namely to the stop comparison of technology.

Comparison of top technology in the UK

Perhaps, in other circumstances, the top Crusader might be able to take some honorable place against the background of all similar models, because, for example, the USSR and Japan do not have Level 5 LT, but they have LT of a lower level, which Their nature exceeds the Crusader several times. What can I say about the German VK 16.02 Leopard and American M24 Chaffee . British LT simply can not keep such competition and therefore it is sent to the last place in the ranking of successful tanks of this class. Perhaps he can somehow bend down and fight successfully, but this happens rarely and his potential is simply not enough against the background of his counterparts in terms of level.

Recommendations on the equipment and skills of the crew

And like any similar military equipment, Britain can not do without the necessary equipment and a special set of skills. For this nation, it is recommended to take the following kit as equipment: a small first-aid kit, a small repair kit and a fire extinguisher. Yes, the set is again standard, as this set provides the basis for an effective game, so do not be surprised by its popularity and rather extensive use.

As additional modules it is necessary to install the following: the sender, the enlightened optics and the improved ventilation. And on the technique, which has a reel of charging, the dispenser can be replaced by a vertical stabilizer.

And now we will stop our attention on the skills of the crew:

• Commander: bulb, disguise, radio interception;
• The gunner: disguise, a smooth turn of the turret, a sniper;
• Mechanic driver: disguise, off-road king, virtuoso.

Tactical application of LT in the UK

British tanks of the LT class are suitable not only for the active light of enemy forces, but I can also serve as an active support for the allies. If the first version of tactical application is the basis for them, then the second option should be applied only after assessing the capacities and booking of its enemy. Yes, English combat vehicles are fast and can use the popular "carousel" technique, but it is worth considering their weak penetration rates, which will not allow penetrating serious opponents. If you objectively approach planning your actions in combat, then you will certainly succeed.
