Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and a review of the light Soviet tier 10 tank T-100 LT in World of Tanks. This nimble kid, according to many skill players, is the best active firefly. Let's see what has changed with the new hardware 2.0.
TTX T-100 LT
The T-100 LT is a typical Soviet light tank with high speed, a strong turret, but relatively weak armament.
Firepower
At the moment, the game features seven top pumped LTs, with which we will compare this car.
The one-time damage of 300 is the lowest on the level, so you can only shoot damage at the expense of highest rate of fire, which provides second at the DPM level after the best damage dealer Sheridan, which is very different in style of play and has an alternative high-explosive.
Penetration by the base projectile is also one of the minimum after EBR 105, but there is a different gameplay and he can play land mines. The tower is spinning very fast and lags only behind the chariot.
The convergence time is average at the level, and the accuracy is the worst. But everything is fine with stabilization – the sight does not scatter much in motion, which encourages active play at close range. Especially since breaking through gold it also suffers here, this does not allow you to effectively hit armored targets in the forehead.
The main subcaliber has a relatively low flight speed 1200 m / s. Premium BBs are here and this is good in the sense that they have better normalization and they lose less armor penetration with distance, but very low speed 790 m / s does not allow them to be effectively used when shooting at a distance. And with land mines, in general, you can only shoot at point-blank range with their 460 m / s.
Vitality
Armor for LT is of secondary importance, since you still can’t count on it, especially at level 10, standing LT is dead LT. Nevertheless, the T-100 has armor and this has the best effect on survival.
VLD can repel a projectile from another light tank, as well as protect against penetration by a landmine, which is already good. Tower forehead, given its ricochet shape, can repel basic CT and TT shells of the tenth level, only WZ-132-1. But it’s still not worth substituted once again - the armor here is random, and the PTs and dozens on gold are guaranteed to break through it.
Take care of the sides, there are tanks that light up with two hits, while breaking through the forehead basically only knocks out the driver.
Based on the combination of speed, specific power and maneuverability, the T-100 LT can be considered the best at the level, it is second only to the EBR 105 in turbo mode.
Mobility
Masking and review
The T-100LT has a very low silhouette and excellent camouflage performance compared to its larger counterparts, as well as a better unmasking factor after a shot.
But his review is the lowest among competitors after the wheeled LT, this once again hints at the fact that the developers balanced this car like an active firefly. Plus, the huge range of the radio will allow you to illuminate the artillery at the beginning of the battle and successfully transmit data to the allied artillery, standing at the maximum distance. Crew equipment and perks allow you to increase stealth and vision to a very decent level, but due to the overload of the commander, it will take longer.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Now we can highlight the main advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:
- excellent stabilization
- ricochet armor
- good mobility
- low silhouette
- excellent disguise
Disadvantages:
- unimportant penetration
- worst accuracy
- bad UVN
- low speed of special projectiles
- review less classmates
- commander overload
Equipment selection
Since the LT is primarily an active firefly, for which visibility and camouflage are most important, these are the parameters that need to be pumped for this style of play.
active light
It is known that masking is somewhat more important than visibility with active light. Therefore, we, like well-known cyber-sportsmen, recommend installing the following equipment:
- commander's observation device - Reduces stealth of a stationary enemy by 20% and stealth on the move by 12,5% (put in a role slot);
- quiet exhaust system – will add 6% to camouflage on the spot and on the move;
- enlightened optics – will add 39 meters to the review.
Thus, we will get a strong firefly that will overexpose everyone, remaining unnoticed by itself.Universal option
For those who are not satisfied with just shining, but have an irresistible desire to deal damage, we can offer a classic equipment configuration:
- enlightened optics – will add 11.5% to the review
- gun rammer - Reduces reload time by 10%.
- improved ventilation - will add a little to the review, disguise, rate of fire, etc.
Thanks to this, you will swing the PDM and increase the viewing range, but you will lose in your disguise and uncamouflage of the enemy.
Installing a stabilizer on the T-100 LT does not make much sense, since it already has a very small spread on the go, the profit will be scanty.
Crew training
The crew of the T-100LT consists of only 3 people, where the duties of a radio operator and loader are additionally imposed on the commander, and another loader on the gunner. This makes leveling the crew more difficult and time consuming.
First of all, you need to download Sixth sense и disguise, then choose Contactless ammo rack и Off-road king in order to lose less speed on medium and soft soils - this is important for an active firefly. Third download The Brotherhood of War, later Radio interception to increase visibility and perks to reduce spread - Smooth turret rotation и Smooth running. Lastly, you can download An eagle eye, Sniper and Virtuoso.
Choosing the equipment
Light tanks are the most susceptible to damage to modules and crew due to their dense layout, and also require good crew buildup. You can put an additional ration or a fire extinguisher in one of the slots, depending on your preferences:
- additional rations – maximum buildup of visibility and disguise
- automatic fire extinguisher - the most economical option
The other two slots should definitely be occupied by consumables for module repair and crew healing:
- large repair kit - to quickly repair the harp with the touch of a button
- large first aid kit – it is important to quickly remove the stun from artillery
Put premium consumables whenever possible, while no one forbids using the mod Quick fix, which allows you to repair and heal with one button, significantly saving silver.
How to play the T-100 LT
Light tanks are the most skill-demanding vehicle class, and the T-100LT is no exception. For an effective game, you need to know the cards well and analyze the composition of the teams even before the start of the battle. It is important to determine in advance where to go in order to give an initial light on patrols of the enemy from spawn, so that the team knows who went where, and perhaps even managed to shoot at slow tanks.
In the middle of a fight, when half of the team remains in the enemy camp, you can begin to act more aggressively - rush in together with other allies and help dismantle the enemy on the flanks or turn the gaping lone opponents. When the opponents move far enough away from the respawn, you can try to light up and possibly cut out the enemy art.
Closer to the end fight you can go to finish off the wounded animals in the side and stern, now it's your time to drag the fight. In any case, do not forget to look at the mini-map often, because the main advantage of the LT is the ability to quickly appear in an unexpected place.
Don't focus on dealing damage, your the primary goal is to shine and live as long as possible, in general - shine and shoot on auto-aim. If there are too many enemies around, then you don’t need to go to the center of the field, it’s better to stand in the bushes for a while and shine passively. Beware of chariots, they can easily catch up with you and destroy you, do not substitute the board and stern under their "evil" land mines.
Conclusion
The light Soviet tank T-100 LT was and remains the most versatile LT, and with the new equipment 2.0 it has become a mega imboy. Shooting damage from a distance is not about him, in this case it is better to passively shine from the bushes, the team will benefit from this more.
The new equipment makes it possible to enhance the most important qualities for this firefly - visibility and camouflage. You should definitely install it, depending on your preferences and style of play - how active you are in combat, whether you like to travel a lot or use mainly ambush tactics.
