LTP – new tier 3 light tank stats

0_9d08a_30293b55_orig

Courtesy of Applesaucebandit (US server), thank you. LTP will most likely be some kind of lowtier reward tank (possibly for WG’s birthday?), so the stats aren’t exactly groundbreaking:

Speed: 45.1 forward 18 reverse
Armor (hull): 30 front (including the driver hatch), 15 upper side, 20 lower side, 10 tracks, 30 rear
Armor (Turret): 30 all around
HP: 230
Hull traverse: 52
Cannot turn in place
Radio range: 360m
View range: 310m
Engine power: 170
Fire risk: 20%
Ground resistance (best to worst terrain): 1.2 1.3 2.3
Weight: 10.8t
Load limit: 13t
Gun: 45mm 20KL
Depression/elevation: -8°/+20°
Dispersion from hull/turret/shooting: 0.26 0.16 3.5
Ammo capacity: 150
Aim time: 2.1
Reload: 25 rpm (2.4 seconds)
Turret traverse: 36

  1. Better than T1E6 cause it’s tier III not II. Looks like T-127 but worse, only speed slightly better but worse HP/tone ratio, reload, armour, view range, Hit Points, turret traverse, even fire risk ;) . I hope it’ll have the same MM as T-127.

  2. If it is a giveaway tank, any guesses on when it will be gifted?

    Presumably, it won’t be given away to EU players?

  3. It seems like a very nimble tank to me. A bad HP/tonne though, but very good traverse speed. I like that.

  4. So compared to the T-127…

    General:
    - Smaller profile (should mean better camo, if nothing else it’ll be harder to shoot at)
    - Less health
    - Less view range
    - Better radio range
    - ~2 tons lighter (don’t ram anything)

    Armor:
    - Frontal armor is basically the same (ignoring the upper hull where nobody ever shoots anyway)
    - Lower glacis is tiny
    - Turret front armor is weaker in every regard, but the turret itself is a smaller target, and there’s less flat/non-mantlet area to shoot frontally
    - Tracks are thinner and cover less area

    Gun:
    - Same depression
    - Less elevation
    - Turret traverse is slower
    - Reload speed is slightly slower
    - (I would guess) slightly better accuracy
    - Higher ammo capacity (because 100 rounds just isn’t enough?)
    - Slightly more dispersion from moving the hull
    - Much less dispersion from moving the turret

    Mobility:
    - ~5 hp/t less
    - Much better traverse (52 d/s is absurdly good, should bleed little speed if any while maneuvering)
    - Higher speed limit (though whether it can reach it on the flat is to be seen)
    - Lower ground resistances in all terrain types

    Summary:
    It’s a smaller, quicker (once it gets going), more nimble T-127. It looks to me like it’s meant to be more a hull-down sniper, taking advantage of its little turret and decent gun depression.
    Probably not going to be nearly as good as the T-127 at brawling due to its lower fire rate, worse power:weight, and weaker armor.

    Based on what I’ve read here, I’ll probably keep it. It’s likely not going to be able to bully people like the T-127 can, but it compares decently enough.

    And hey, it’s free, and leagues better in its tier than the pile of crap that was the T1E6. I appreciate gifts, and generally try my utmost to keep and use them, but…that thing got sold within the week to free the slot, it was so bad. I can see the LTP sticking around, at least for a bit.

    • Don’t diss the T1E6 “Cowboy”, it’s a hilarious little trashbin. The main problems it has are really A) T18 EVERYWHERE B) Province *again*?

      Also it’s kinda cute, just like the T-127 and this guy. Who’s a widdle liddle tank?

    • I am interested in this as well – crew count and composition. I hope it has similar layout to T-127 or BT-7 so it can train Commander + Gunner + Driver kind of crew.

    • The turret seems to small and narrow compared to the driver’s hatch that I’m starting to worry this thing might actually be a two-man job… :/

        • Bugger, now all it needs is a proper tier 3 MM (tier 3-5 battles) and it’s dead on arrival :-(

          Still hoping for 3 man crew, BT series have relatively small turret as well (and Commander surely can’t be sitting in the ammo compartment).

    • If I remember correctly, It has a commander who does all of the gun stuff, and then a driver and radioman in the hull.

      • I just double checked and I was wrong. The crew has a commander/gunner/radioman, a driver, and a loader.

    • Well, it is propably 15th anniversary gift, so what could we expect ;) You think they could give us something higher than T3 ? It is WG mate …

  5. Today first battle ı was kill 3 tank , next battle 4 kill and last battle 5 kill i like this tank :D
