Is the light tank 3 kills (Elusive Flea) task that difficult?

Hey guys,

It’s me again! So this Saturday, I was looking at the battle pass challenge Elusive flea task to complete it, and noticed that lots of people complained about the difficultly of the task; indeed, it was not exactly easy, but is it that difficult?

I finished it in a day using the 2S38 on Arcade by camping hulldown without shooting aircraft too much, because the missile teammates take them anyway, and that the 2S38 has a drone when many play MBTs blind in their tracks.

Truthfully speaking, the 2S38 sucks at frontally attacking heavily armored MBTs like the T-72B and others, but it’s a game of patience hoping that a light tank or SPAA pops right into your sight.

I also killed many MBTs like the T-72s by shooting their lower front plate, but this takes time and you shouldn’t do it in the open, only when having a hull down cover.

Also managed to get few using the Object 211 (a unstabilized PT-76 with a 85mm APHE gun).

I also managed to achieve this once using the TAM 2IP and BMD-4M.

I origjanlly thought to bring the 8.0 marder lineup to shoot air vehicles, but then decided that the challenge can be done shooting tanks alone with the above vehicles.

Finally, I’ve had Arcade CAS and artilleries cut short my streaks multiple times, so it can be a game of luck.

So I want to ask the playerbase, is anyone struggling with the task or what? Is it significantly more difficult in arcade or RB for you? What class of tanks you would have preferred using?

Let’s discuss if the difficultly suits the challenge well.

I believe that many people look at it and overestimate the difficulty because its not really 3 kills 15 times

as far as I can tell each time you get an extra kill without dying it adds another counter
so 3 kills is 1/15, 4 is 2/15, 5 is 3/15, 6 is 4/15 and so on

I found the best way to do it was just running around in the m18 and it only took like maybe 8-10 matches, way easier than some special tasks

I second this, the m18 is a no brainer, it’s a nuke mining machine if you use it right. Also if you have the prem blackcat and m18, you can get up to 4 spawns/attempts each game at a cruisy BR


This is like
The most easy, mundane task ever

Just play light tanks for a bit and you unlock this passively

Just play your favorite light tank like normally, you eventualy can get the 3 kills, maybe more and sometimes none. Tho if you use the 2s38 I think it would be better in RB.

In my case I been playing nuclear thunder and not touched ground for a few days, but I would get it done easily with my zbd04.
