Can someone explain to me what exactly makes light tanks good...? It appears to me that a stank is not only as powerful, but is almost as armored and as speedy as the light tank.

So tell me:

1. Is a light tank more powerful or less powerful than a stank/med?

2. Is it faster than a stank?

Is it pretty much just a mini-med tank? I fail to see the superiority of the vehicle vs. a stank because I never see any light rush's done. PLEASE. Prove me wrong.

1. Less damage, higher ROF.
2. Indeed.
3. Better than a Medium Tank, since it has a smaller height, thus harder to hit. Plus terrain, you got a tank raper.

Lights are pretty much used as support vehicles. When you've got arties + lights on field = gg

med>light, I'd love for you to try to prove me otherwise.

Also, stanks blow against inf.

Try playing field some time. light tanks are low enough to hide behind those tiny mounds of dirt scattered in the field. Thats what he meant by "Plus terrain".

Well sure if you have a n00b driving the light. Lights can get easy recover and repair themselves in feild without anyone but the driver. Meds have to worry about sbh and are much slower and bigger so they can't use cover as effectivly.

While the Light definitely has a size and speed advantage, a Med will own a Light anyday.

The Light will keep escaping/repairing but if you are able to ambush or corner it, a Light is a loser for sure. The stronger armor and bigger gun of the Med tank can finish it off.

Depends who's driving it.

But if it's a skilled player vs a skilled player, the light tank will win, unless they're right next to eachother.

Light tank is better at medium distances, as to be able to dodge any incoming enemy tank fire.

Really? I've killed quite a few med tanks with a light tank before.

They're not that hard aslong as you don't get up close.

light tanks are up there as Nod's best vehicle, around parallel to the arty.

compared to the stank: light tank has much better range, more durable, shitloads better in a tankfight, can dodge more easily, much better against infantry, can even take on orcas if you're... well, me

It there is a unified teamwork (with repairers), Lights would dominate.

Just imagine 3 Lights on Under with each having it's own Tech. Man, they would own.

No, they wouldnt. Light tanks damage output is to low to be on the field without a arty.

All 3 of them together and striking and attacking enemy tanks one at a time together all the while being teched.

But yes, Arty is definitely needed in the field to go on the offensive to attack enemy base and also provide support to friendly tanks.

most maps yes, but not all. Nod doesn't need an arty on Under. try it, go all lights... you'll be surprised.

What's more, you say that like it's an insult to Surth... how could it possibly be?

No no...I know an Art is a must for Nod when it comes to holding the field on some maps.

I saw a chance to pick on Surth due to SSADMVR's convenient comment!

mmhmm, nobody plays it since without the pointsfix GDI owns it... with the pointsfix, though, it's actually completely fair and not a bad map at all
