I never played it but my brother did, and I usually see a lot of good-performing ELCs.. imo it is the best scout ever!

If you are to rate the turrets out of 10, I’d say the 62A comes in with a 10/10 turret, while the 430 is 9/10, and the 140 is 8/10.

The STB tier X Japanese medium also has a 8/10 turret, but it has -10 deg to match so it’s a clear winner in this regard.

As I said before on youtube:

You’re not a scout driver are you? The 59-16 has the worst pen and damage out of all of the tier 6 lights and I wreaked havoc on a poor t110e5 in one game. As for the tier 4s? That m5 derp tracks many an enemy tank, and OBLITERATES many an arty, t49, hellcat, and waffle line td. Not to mention the fact it pwns other scouts.

The luchs has a 90 pen 300 damage machine gun. let that sink in….. Sunk in? good.
Luchs pwns.
T-50? It may no longer be overendowed with speed, but it turns so quickly it can VERY easily circle many a heavy tank to death, and its small size makes it perfect for hugging.

M5a1? Not my preffered light, but the people I’ve asked why they like it say its gun is amazing for a tier 4 scout. It also has better engine power than its American counterpart. Shocking, I know. the Chinese usually have less.

The amx 12t has nothing to complain about. If driven properly it’s another pwnage scout machine. You shouldn’t ever shoot at the front of a t110e5 though. LOL

T71 pwns everything. nuff said.

I pwn with wz 131, I have stock gun.

I don’t have wz 132.

The t21 wasn’t bad. I didn’t like it but I had a good score in it. most of my dislike probably stemmed from its shape. I also had many, many, many, lucky bounces in this tank.

I will be the first one to complain chaffee can’t function in tier 10. However despite my greivances, that’s a lie. The chaffee isn’t an active scout, and I like to move too much. Thus my failure at tier 10 with chaffee. but when I’ve played it like a sniper- I greatly succeed.

I tried to play leopard, found it shockingly different than luchs. sold it because I was too much of an idiot to try to learn a new playstyle.

Vk2801 Don’t have yet, no comment. I suspect it will be a fun derpage machine.

Aufklarungspanzer Panther. Do not have. no comment.

AMX 13 75 do not have, no comment.

AMX 13 90 same^

Mt-25. I played this on test. WOW the t-50-2 nerf whiners are many. this thing is REALLY fast. and very maneuverable. It’s not the t-50-2 ROCKET, but it’s balanced and fun. the tier 5 machine gun is hilarious(with like 40 shots), but majorly underpenned and should never be used in any serious circumstances.(THE ACPR HAS 62 PEN. WHAAAAAA)
The 75mm gun is VERY accurate. so the low pen of 112 is well compensated. This is a sniper.
It also has surprisingly ok armour.

I can’t remember if there were any more, but here’s my opinion.
Take it with a grain of salt, but light tanks are my favorite tanks, and I personally love the role light tanks carry. I also love shattering that role in a thousand pieces by doing high damage in mine by being an opportunist.

The challenge and thrill of taking a light out against higher tiers is exhilarating.
Its also the reason I love hybrid tanks like m7 and pz III/IV that most people hated. Honestly? those are awesome tanks. And m7 has a permanent home in my garage.

I hope you don’t take my argument as an offence. But I think you’re wrong.
If you made scouts have lower mm you’d have to nerf the speed. and then No-one would play my favorite type of tanks. :(

Added notes about type 5 Ke-Ho: its acceleration isn’t fast, but its camo seems rather amazingly good. It also has good enough soft stats that it WILL reach 50 kph.
It also does turn reasonably well. Did he test this thing with 100% crew? if not shame.

Its gun is better than the gun on the m5a1 that some light drivers seem to love. 6 more penetration really helps.
Binocs and camo seems the way to go, as it is with most of the Japanese line. Its gun is dangerous, and should be feared.
Ammo count seems to be a small problem. there are only 60 rounds.
This thing is more than maneuverable enough to circle around the tier 8 tanks.
I overtook an e-25 and annihilated him while I ran at 50kph(which really isn’t hard to get to) and circled him. This thing is NOT slow. it accelerates only marginally slower than t-50 (Which also isn’t slow, whiners), due to its soft stats.

Ke-Ho is a very stealthy tank. I like it. Whether or not I will keep it depends on how it performs on live.

Its downside is slow acceleration. But really, as long as you don’t treat it like a tank that gets into situations it needs to be gone from in two miliseconds- then the acceleration will get you to 50 and keep you there rather well.
