At that place have been contempo threads discussing the best tier Eight premium mediums, heavies, and TDs, and then I figured I'd become alee and round off the classes with the most fun of the tier Eight premiums: the low-cal tanks. While there are certainly some very good and fun tier VIII premium lights, like the Turtle, the T92 Falcon, the Brazilian Bulldog, etc., I'd contend that the all-time of the bunch (and coincidentally the most fun too) is without a dubiousness the ELC Fifty-fifty 90 and its reskin, the Vanguard.

Sure, information technology might have the everyman wellness pool of any tier VIII tank, its gun might have rather poor gun treatment and bottomless DPM, and both its acceleration and its view range are on the lower terminate of tier 8 lights, but at the same time the Even 90'southward very, very tiny size and speed hands make up for these downsides alone. After all, who needs health when the enemy can't country a hit on you, who needs DPM when yous can quickly bargain 660 damage with an autoloader while you lot're either undetected at range or so close to the enemy that y'all can't miss (while they can't even aim down far enough to hitting you), and its lower end view range is even so more than than enough to spot any other tank before it tin can spot you. When you add together on the fact that the Even 90 is the but tank in the game that can become completely invisible in many bushes (excluding being proxy-spotted) it solidifies itself as the best scout at the tier (if not in the game menstruation) while still having only enough firepower to be a threat to tanks that can't see or shoot you.

With that said, I do want to hear yous's opinions on the matter. Which premium tier VIII calorie-free do you think is the best?

Vanguard: fifty-fifty my deaths tend to be amusing.

Turtle: the number of on-the-motion total pens information technology hits makes information technology a proficient fourth dimension.

Höllenhund: looks mean.

All-time scout: ELC Even xc

Best light tank: Hellhound/ LT-432

The reason I brand the distinction is because scouts practise just that, spot for allies and aren't expected to actively fight much. Whereas light tanks can take the fight to the enemy and deal harm at range while scouting for the team.

Lately I've been playing some decent sentry hunters and I've killed more Even 90s than I tin call up killing in a month. It gives me great pleasure to run them down and then run them over, had a pair on Ensk that must non take been that practiced since they let me get within ramming distance in a T-54 lightweight. They may be fast, but it's but one km/h difference between them and a tier ix made to slap-up light tanks with well-nigh 5 times their weight.

If I only had a Baneblade....

In my own experience Höllenhund is the best. Notwithstanding, Aquila HWK thirty (at to the lowest degree on paper) seems even better than Höllenhund, except aim fourth dimension and chip slower charge per unit of burn. I personally wouldn't buy Vanguard ELC Fifty-fifty ninety, it has horrible gun and amazing camo values won't make up for it (unless you're skilful in passive scouting). Not my cup of tea, fleck overated vehicle imo.

It's worth noting that the minuscule size of the EVEN xc is its biggest strength not just for its camo rating, simply considering it'southward the hardest to hit high tier tank in the game (information technology'southward very common for a detected EVEN 90 to escape without being hitting by a single shot fired its way). Likewise, its poor gun handling is rarely an upshot, equally you tin oftentimes either snipe from just far enough away that you're not detected (at which point its mediocre accuracy still allows it to hit two-3 shots per clip, and missing shots comes with almost no penalisation) or you can make it close enough to the enemy that you simply can't miss your 3 shots while getting away unharmed. The only time when I'd say the Vanguard really struggles is when it's forced to fight other light tanks since that's when its poor gun treatment on the move and awful reload really get a trouble, although even and so the fact that it does have an autoloader can allow it to end off wounded lights if you're feeling lucky.

This is a rather difficult question.

This is not helped by the fact that not a unmarried ane of the tier 8 premium lights are bad tanks.

Well, at that place's the M41BB, simply against lightly skinned enemies it's arguably the most dangerous of the lot.

I want to say it's the AMX 13 Mle 58, but it does accept its issues.

It might very well be the Hwk 30, but I haven't played that enough to really have a solid opinion of information technology.

You lot're right well-nigh there non being a bad tier VIII premium light, although if I had to selection one to exist the worst the LT-432 comes to listen. You could likewise make an arguement for the T.A.N.K. existence the worst simply because information technology'southward an junior version of the Turtle.

For me it's the HWK 30.  However, the AMX 58 and ELC are both solid as well.

The turds of the tier are the LT and the Brazil, IMO.

For the lookout man part? Vanguard.
For the pocketknife fighting part? T92 or LTTB.

You besides have the 'I wish I was in a medium' category that has the LT-432 as it'due south sole occupant.

Red Dough Boy took the words out of my oral fissure. There has to be a separation of Scouts and Light tanks. The best way I could describe it is Light tanks play more like medium tanks.

Best scout: Vanguard
Best light tank: Hollenhund

No im non the biggest calorie-free tank player in the game , but I was very soon surprised when I took a chance and bought the HKW thirty.

Im a big fan of the leopard mediums and to me it feels a lot similar a tier viii leopard .

but what do I know....I don't drive lights very often.
