Is it possible to have a strong scout?
Here is a good question: Is it possible to have a scout that can take on a tank-destroyer for power of shell?
Because I have been looking for a scout in all nation areas.
Solution 1:
Your Question seems kinda weird, but I will try to answer it.
- Is it possible to have a strong scout?
Yes, there are a lot of strong Light Tanks, f.e. the Russian T 100LT or the French EBR 105.
- Is it possible to have a scout that can take on a tank-destroyer for power of shell?
No, and that's for good reason. Tank Destroyers are meant to have good guns and high damage potential.
Light Tanks are basically the exact opposite of that, they are meant to be stealthy, fast, small. Light Tanks are not made to deal damage in the first place, they are made to scout the enemy Tanks, so that your team can kill them. Wargaming purposely put weak guns on Light Tanks because they don't want them to be overpowered. If Light Tanks had similar guns compared to Tank Destroyers, why even play TD's?
To summarize:
There are a ton of strong Light Tanks in the game, but none have actual TD guns. A Light Tank is strong if it hast good mobility, camo, view range, and a decent LT gun.
Light Tanks are probably the hardest class to play in the game, so if you are new, you should learn the game first by playing easier tanks like Tank Destroyers or Heavy Tanks.
Light Tanks are played to scout the enemy team and farm spotting damage instead of causing damage by yourself. They are mainly to support your team but are very strong if you are a good player, they can deal damage by themselves but not as well as a TD.
Some examples for good Light Tanks:
- Chinese Type 64 (Premium Tank at tier VI)
- French EBR 105 (Tech tree Tank at tier X)
- German HWK 30 (Premium Tank at tier VIII)
