Which war thunder nations consistently have the best light tanks

After playing this game for awhile it’s safe to say that i have a sweet spot for light vehicles. My personal favs so far has been the stuarts, the Sarc vehicles, the concept 3 and the aml 90. Ive been grinding multiple nations to a certain tier but i might want to focus on a single nation that enphasizes light vehicles being their main sellingpoint.

I hear that italy has the best light vehicles at almost every rank ? Is this true

In my opinion, the best light tanks have USA (HSTVL), Germany (Bagleitpanzer57) and Sweden (I don’t remember which one)

France has the best light tank line IMO. Solid vehicles all the way from 3.7 to 9.7. The only thing France lacks is a top tier light tank but we could get the Vextra 120 for that.

I assume Germany, between the rats and most effective light tanks like the Wiesel 1A4 up to the Radkampfwagen 90 or the Schützpanzer PUMA.

Yes, Italy has a lot of very cool light tanks: the best Spike carrier - VBM Freccia (10 missiles), multiple Centauro wheeled tanks, including the one equipped with 120 mm (arguably a better vehicle than Ariete), early stuff (AS 42/47, AB 41, AB 43), very effective export light tanks (M3A3, M24 and M18 + Hungarian BTR-80A in right hands).

R3 T106 FA is my favorite one, I’ll just leave it here:

Others aren’t bad either: VCC-80/60, VCC-80/30, Dardo, VBC pt.2, C13 T90, Fiat 6614, AUBL/74.
The best part of Italian light tanks is that they mostly come with pretty solid line-ups, including CAS options.

The only hard Italian light tank is M11/39, though it’s more like a meme tank, just like L3/33. Oh and Csaba, this thing is barely playable.
KF 41 is also a bad vehicle, an overtiered one.

If you want fun, play germany. The wiesel 1a2 and 1a4 are the most fun I have had in the game and probably will ever have. They also have a lot of good light tanks like the bagleit, randkampf, puma (low tier ones + the 10.3 one), and the tams.
