Light MBTs are awful on arcade

Hey people.

I’m an active arcade player and from what I’ve seen, the light MBTs struggle. AMX-30 and Leopard 1 are great example.

There are little reasons to use these tanks.

  • They are most vulnerable vehicles
    They are more vulnerable than light tanks and heavier tanks (think T-55) because the tanks like CLOVIS are surprisingly survivable and won’t trigger APHE shells. They are just armored enough to detonate APHE, and to get more spalling on being shot, but not enough to resist APHE like M60 and reduce spalling like T-55s

  • Their reload speed is slow
    They just cannot compare with the PZH2000, and other commonly played vehicles like the DF105.

  • They cannot scout
    They can’t scout, reducing their team contribution and CAS potential

  • They are SPAA food
    Like all light tanks, they are free kills for SPAA, even frontally. At least M60 can resist from range, and T-55 is pretty immune for short term exposure to 35mm

  • They are slower than light tanks
    They are more armored (useless in practice) that makes them slower

Arcade is a cluster**** theres a reason why the majority ditch it for realistic very quickly.

no thats the light tanks

outside of OP outliers and spamcanons which are OP this is a skill issue

that be the job of the light tank not the medium/mbt

community should have voted for the APHE changes, we are reaping what was sown

not always and if a light tank has worse mobility than the BRs mediums then its probably overtiered
