I like em. They are quick, small, and powerful. Although weak armour, if you have a light and a few engis or so, then you can pwn. Razz

Opinions anyone?

It's amazing how agile you feel in the Light when up against Meds. Also, the very low profile of the Light makes it more harder to hit.

I wouldn't say powerful, but you can deffinatly get more hits on things than they can hit you, which makes them better.

Light tanks are cool. But Med tanks should own them in even battles (which is logical as they're more expensive).

Lights should usually be combined with teched arts for optimal use.

if the med driver is n00bie, then the light can easily kill the med and dodge it's bullets.

Meds will own Lights no matter...Meds are more powerful. If a Med and Light tank face other and start shooting, the Med would win...with little health left of course.

But during battles, the driver who is more focused will win. For example, it is essential that every shot count...1 missed shot and that's a big disadvantage. Terrain must be used for cover and a driver must know when to move back or up against the enemy tank.

Also, we can count on the other driver missing a shot or doing something n00by...this will prove advantageous.

lights are fun to drive around, but when when there meds camping ur base, arts are best, a quick light rush sometimes works though

Light are good because of their speed, the med drivers aren't ready for their fast speed. Lights can tend to outrun and confuse med drivers with a simple side to side motion.

Which is why you don't always shoot AT a moving tank. You estimate and shoot where you think it will be the next second. Granted, this is much harder when you are a Med against a Light...the small chassis of the Light and it's speed will make your life harder. But it's easy to do this against a Med with a Light due to the bigger size and slower speed of the GDI tank.

I find Light tanks to be total crap to be honest, it's weapon is weak against everything, I would just wait and buy an arty or stank.

Only time I ever use a light tank is in a mass rush and only then if I can't get my hands on a flamer tank first. Thumbs Up

you make no sense. care to explain what the problem is with attacking head on? it's often the only way to get to enemy vehicles behind cover when using a med or taking advantage of the light tanks agility to land more shots than you take in open ground when you have room to manouver.

Why would you use engies on a light tank? you tech it yourself because it is fast enough to duck behind cover, blast the repairs and keep firing, when the odds are stacked against you then it should be fast enough to get back to base and come out with backup - as was mentioned they are the are the perfect companion to arties keeping enemy vehicles at a distance and taking hits when needed whilst the art provides the damage.

You answered it yourself!!!!

If you are going to duck behind cover then its not head on.

This whole topic becomes ifs and buts because players will not accept and read the literal meaning of the sentence.

Fully head on, no repairs on any tank, a Med and a Light, no one deviating, then the Med wins.

How simple is that? To answer your other question as regards the problem! Players WILL and rightly so "duck behind cover" for repairs, so no problem at all is there?

These spam topics can be interpreted using readily available stats for answers. NOW keep in mind that we must remove all the ifs and buts to get the true answers.

Hope this answers your problems as regards a full head on attack with no repairs.
