The light Soviet tank appeared in the game after update 9.18 with the advent of LT 10. Due to its appearance, LTG has earned the nickname "quasimodo". A tier 7 tank boasts a low silhouette and good weapons, so playing this vehicle will be comfortable.

LTG Crew Skills
Before pumping perks from the crew, it is necessary to study the strengths and weaknesses of the tank. Recommended skills that need to be upgraded step by step for the crew:
1 perk:
- commander - "sixth sense";
- gunner - "camouflage";
- driver - "camouflage";
- loader - "radio interception";
2 perk:
- commander - "eagle eye";
- gunner - "smooth turn of the tower";
- driver - "smooth ride";
- loader - "disguise".
3 perk:
- commander - "combat brotherhood";
- gunner - "combat brotherhood";
- driver-mechanic - "combat brotherhood";
- loader - "combat brotherhood".
4 perk:
- commander - "camouflage";
- gunner - "sniper";
- driver - "repair";
- loader - "repair".
LTG has a good disguise ratio, so it is recommended to improve this quality through the "disguise" skills. At the same time, the light Soviet tank is not armed with the most comfortable gun, which makes it necessary to upgrade the improved gun stabilization, since firing on the move is very important for this class of vehicle.
Equipment
The equipment must be installed depending on the mode that the player will use on this vehicle:
"Active light":
- Illuminated optics. This equipment will improve the viewing range on the move.
- Vertical stabilizer. STG does not stand out for good stabilization in motion, so the stabilizer will improve weak performance.
- Improved ventilation. All crew characteristics will be improved by 5%.
"Passive Light":
- Stereoscopic telescope. This equipment is more powerful than coated optics, however, it only works in a standing position.
- Camouflage network. This equipment will greatly improve an already good camouflage.
- Improved ventilation. All stats will be improved by 5%.
Equipment to increase visibility must be installed first of all, since the standard indicators for LTG are too low.
Booking LTG
Traditionally for light tanks, the LTG has no armor.
How to play
The Soviet light tank has good characteristics for this class. It is worth highlighting the main advantage of the car - a small silhouette. It is this quality that needs to be improved to the maximum by pumping the crew and installing the appropriate equipment. The tank can quickly move around the map, because it has an engine with a specific power of 26 hp / t and can accelerate up to 63 km / h. This advantage should be used at the beginning of the battle, when vehicles are moving around positions.
The visibility of the tank is poor, so it is necessary to install a stereo tube or coated optics. A large concealment coefficient will allow you to get as close as possible to enemy positions and shine on allied vehicles, while not being noticed yourself.
The LTG has an 85 mm gun with 144 mm armor penetration and a one-time damage of 180 HP. Against classmates, armor penetration is enough to cause damage even to the frontal part of many vehicles, but against tanks of a higher level, you will need to use tactics that will allow you to get close to the sides or stern of enemy vehicles.
The downside of a light tank is the small vertical aiming angles of the gun -5 degrees, which does not allow you to play from the tower on hills.
Armoring is traditionally absent for light tanks, so you need to be careful about your HP units. Each shot of an enemy tank will cause damage, taking into account this factor, it is necessary to take such positions for illumination so that when an LTG is detected, it can quickly hide from the chamber.
In general, the Soviet light tank does not have any unique and different characteristics from other LTs, but it will be comfortable to play the vehicle as a passageway for researching the next tank. When playing in the top, the advice will be one of the best, because it has good dynamics and a good 85 mm gun. As for camouflage, a high rating is given here, since this is the main advantage of the "firefly".
Conclusion
With the release of update 9.18, the development branches of light tanks of all nations have changed in the game, and many new units have been added, including the Soviet STG. Currently, the tank does not have much popularity, but there are practically no bad reviews about it. It makes no sense to leave this tank for the “fan”, but earning combat experience will be comfortable and without any problems.
