As most of you probably already know, the LTP light tank was awarded today. Just a quick screenie of the stats for those, who didn’t see it yet:

Learn To Play!
Something like that. I wonder where the developers got the project from anyway… :)
So how does it perform?
I would try it myself, but I am a abysmal light/medium player.
As expected. It’s fast, crappy gun.
crap acceleration, but then again, I didn’t up the crew from 50%
Pasholok just published some drawings here: http://world-of-kwg.livejournal.com/226651.html
The text is in russian.
Only in Russian? Not for long… :)
That’s why I put the link here :)
It looks like a mini VK4502 btw.
Correct me if I’m wrong… but isn’t that a Spitfire on the runway?
SPITZFEUER!!!
My mistake xD
Deamon93 corrected me.. it’s Hawker Hurricane.
Still.. it’s a British one ^^
LTP = Light Tank Party :D

Such a crappy tank, but tier 3 tanks arent really good anyway. Except the Pz I C.
But it’s armor might counter it’s 7mm mauser machine gun… So its worth a try against the hordes of playing for fun Pz I C players.
T82 is my name, one-shotting LTPs is my game :3
It’s not a bad tank. Comparisons are going to be drawn between it and the T-127 – in fact, I did just that some posts ago – but while they have similar play styles, they’re not quite the same.
T-127 is a bully. More engine power, more armor all around, faster-firing gun, bigger/heavier tank. It gets in, it throws its weight around, it kills things. The gun accuracy gives it the ability to snipe as needed, as well, but in my opinion it belongs closer to the front, bouncing shots for teammates.
The LTP is more an opportunistic flanker/sniper.
- Despite its horrid listed accuracy, I found the gun behaving itself, even somewhat reliably pulling off half-aimed shots at distant targets when needed.
- It’s noticeably smaller than the 127, hopefully this translates to improved camo…it could use it.
- With a 100%/84% offroad driver yanked from the 127, it gets around pretty well. I call bullshit on the 52d/s traverse speed, though.
- The armor is fair to good, lacks the idiotic thinner nose armor that the 127 has (or if you like, the entire thing is thinner nose armor) and has no weak spots, the lower glacis is small enough to be safe from stuff. It’s fairly effective when angled, but it can’t really take a dedicated pounding from tank guns. The turret is a small target but will take damage if hit.
Overall, it’s not bad. Leagues above the last gift tank (not that that really takes much). Rather than call it better or worse than the T-127, I’d prefer to say that they have different roles in any given battle and thus are apples and oranges.
Does it play with tier 5 tanks?
Inclined to say “no”, since it gets a nerfed version of the T-127′s gun.
I played half a dozen games in it earlier, and didn’t see a single tier 4 battle, let alone tier 5; though that might just have been due to the flood of LTP drivers filling the tier 3 queue fast. Betting it at least gets tier 3 premium MM, though.
Checked the wiki, it gets regular MM. Oh well.
SS… I still say you need more tanks… Just play the British spg line. You wont be disappointed.
