Light Tanks

Quemapueblos: Hello Tankers,   Today we launched patch 0.9.18 and we want to hear your feedback! There are separate topics for the major 0.9.18 changes, please leave all feedback for Light Tanks in this thread.  How do they compared to the existing light tanks before the patch? Do the new tier X lights feel balanced?   Details of Light Tank Changes: Light tanks now reach to Tier X and benefit from standard ±2 matchmaking, which should create more varied, enjoyable, and exciting gameplay. They no longer have to suffer: no more battles against Tier X vehicles for swift, yet frail Tier VII light tanks. But wait, there’s more! Following the addition of top-tier vehicles, LTs evolved into a standalone battle unit and received a number of balance tweaks. They still play as support units, but now have decent enough firepower and excellent speed to make an impact.   The new Tier X light tanks are swifter and more maneuverable than their peers at lower tiers. Their gun stabilization, penetration power and hit damage allow them to excel in close- and mid-range combat. When facing off against medium tanks, Tier X light tanks are anything but an easy target incapable of returning a favour. Their guns are just a little less powerful than those of medium tanks, and have enough penetration power to pierce through the side and rear armor of the majority of heavies. They have what it takes to punish opponents who might naively consider them harmless.   Overview of Patch 0.9.18 Here Full Patch Notes Here
