6s in War Thunder battles light tanks are
8s used in the reconnaissance and fire
10s support roles as evident from the name
13s light tanks are typically highly mobile
15s combat vehicles that are fitted with
16s powerful guns and next to no armor today
19s we're going to speak about the best
21s tanks of this type known for their
22s aptitude for ambushes and surprise
24s attacks let's go
30s the first vehicle for today is the
31s German df-105 it combines the best
34s qualities of the Martyr ifv and the
37s French AMX 13 which provided it with a
39s Hull and a turret respectively the
42s vehicle has a max speed of 70 kilometers
44s per hour and it's the same when going
45s forward or reversing it's armed with a
49s 105 millimeter cannon that has an auto
51s loading system with 12 shells in its
54s magazines and the gun is mounted in an
56s oscillating turret the dv-105 makes for
59s a great ambusher which is partly
60s surprising but it's also a pretty good
62s pick for a more aggressive play style
64s just don't forget about its flaws The
67s Limited vertical Traverse of its gun and
69s a bit of a gun wobble
74s next up is the Soviet object 906. the
77s tank is armed with an 85 millimeter gun
79s with an auto loader a two-plane
81s stabilizer and very powerful rounds with
84s explosive filler as a flanker this
86s monster of a tank poses a big threat to
88s mbts thanks to its transmission it can
91s go pretty fast even in reverse and can
93s move from one position to another very
95s quickly and it's also amphibious which
97s means that it can go where other
99s vehicles can't
103s number five on our list is the American
105s hstvl a prototype that was very much on
108s the Forefront of military technology
110s available in the early 1980s its auto
113s loading system only takes one and a half
116s seconds to reload the vehicle's 75
118s millimeter gun which is also stabilized
121s in two planes by the way and the Tank's
123s low profile and armor Arrangement
125s provide it with quite a lot of
126s survivability
128s the hstvl is a great pick for a hyper
131s aggressive Hit and Run play style and
133s it's capable of dealing with several
135s opponents at once
139s [Music]
141s then we have another American
143s experimental tank the Teledyne EGS the
146s unique thing about this vehicle is that
148s it comes with an unmanned turret
149s allowing you to engage your opponents
151s from the safety of a hull down position
153s behind cover a sub caliber round hitting
156s your turret would only disable your gun
158s at most but we can't forget about rounds
160s with explosive filler they can still do
163s a lot of damage so be careful apart from
166s the unusual turret though the AGS is a
168s pretty conventional modern tank with 105
170s millimeter cannon and decent Mobility
172s it's not bad obviously but it's not
175s exceptional in any other way
180s we've made it to the top three and the
182s first vehicle here is the American xm8
185s this is a speedy light tank that's
187s perfect for people that prefer the
188s active aggressive play style
191s the xm8 is armed with a standard 105
194s millimeter cannon but it takes the gun
196s only five seconds to reload giving it an
198s edge in most engagements it also has a
201s pretty big first stage ammo rack and an
203s auto loader meaning that you don't
205s really have to be stingy with your shots
207s and can concentrate on eliminating your
209s enemies
212s in the second place we have the PT 7657
216s a modern variant of the pt-76 a Soviet
220s amphibious light tank it received a new
222s transmission a new engine but most
225s importantly it was fitted with a new
227s combat module with a stabilized 57
230s millimeter Auto Cannon as well as
232s additional equipment like a Laser
234s Rangefinder a good burst from the new
236s Canon can quickly take care of any
238s opponent regardless of its weight class
240s but the PT 7657 itself won't win any
244s awards for its survivability just like
246s the original model it has very weak
248s armor furthermore the vehicle still has
251s pretty limited gun depression
260s finally the gold medal goes to the
262s French Char 25t characteristics wise
266s it's getting into the medium tank
267s territory at least partially due to its
270s armor and a 90 millimeter cannon with an
272s autoloader the char-25t is a great fit
275s for reconnaissance duty but if need be
277s it can easily eliminate several
279s opponents in a row thanks to its M82
281s apcbc rounds one round for each of your
285s opponents would be more than enough
290s at the same time there are plenty of
292s other good vehicles in the game that
294s didn't quite make it to our list but
295s still deserve your attention so get
298s ready for a few honorable mentions the
301s Austrian sk105 which can be found in
303s both the French and the German Tech
304s trees comes with an excellent autoloader
307s thanks to this the 105 millimeter cannon
310s of the tank takes only four seconds to
312s reload the American t92 is a great
315s vehicle for deliberate plays out of
317s cover and the Soviet pt-76b stands out
320s from the mid-rank crowd due to its
322s stabilized quick firing gun with heat
324s ammo
329s light tanks should be handled with extra
331s care but one good flanking attack with
334s them can completely change the outcome
336s of a fight high risk High reward in
339s other words exactly what you need if you
341s like to live dangerously but what are
344s your favorite light tanks tell us in the
