missing something here... but really... what is the purpose of tier
III light tanks other than to provide easy exp for well, everyone
else.I had thought that light tanks were used for scouting, but what I'm finding is that heavier tanks have longer view distances and are landing hits on me from beyond my visual range... frequently getting a
one-shot kill. I feel lame if I base camp just to try to survive and earn a little exp to try to get to the next tank, but the instant I move, I get turned into a burning pile of scrap. Obviously, my
tank and crew are not yet fully upgraded, which will make some difference... but seriously... my life expectancy is <2 minutes in EVERY battle, which earns me nothing. Costs me more to repair than I make.
Can someone please tell me why I want to play a tank that is outgunned, outrun, and has shorter visual range than other bigger tanks on the field? Cuz I am really frustrated at the moment.
ARGO: It all depends on how you look at it I guess, you can easily agree
they are cannon fodder because they are weak or you can look at
them as Arty's little helper. Me? I look at them as a inexpensive
way of completely destabilizing the enemies team through sheer
harrassment. I give them time to get moving from their base, wait
for my arty to set up then sneak on in there and run around causing
sometimes half the enemie team to have to turn around to chase you
down while your arty starts picking them off or better, they take
out their arty. Naturally you can attempt to take arty out yourself
but I try to just seriously antagonize them. Leos are great for
this. Anyway, I have added another link below you can check out and
I hope it helps you find more purpose in lights.
