One of the best light tanks in the game. Briefly about the advantages and disadvantages, who will suit this machine and how relevant it is for a random house.
Hello tankers! With you Wotpack and the twelfth lot Holiday calendar in World of Tanks. This time, one of the best premium scouts is on the radar - the Soviet LT-432 for 6100 gold. . Distinguished by its versatility, as no one else has such a combination of characteristics to effectively combine active and passive light.
TTX LT-432
Firepower
One-time damage and armor penetration closer to the minimum values for LT 8, but not the worst. But for the rest, don't worry:
- high rate of fire and great PDM;
- swift mixing time;
- not bad accuracy;
- good gun stabilization, feels confident in dynamic skirmishes;
- high turret traverse speed.
С vertical tilt angles not everything is so simple: if the gun goes down very well, as for Soviet equipment -7 °, then we can only raise it by +15 °, which sometimes will not be enough.
As you can see, the combination of parameters allows him to snap very confidently, and not just work in the light.
Vitality
Large margin of safety и ricochet booking - the calling card of this scout. The hull in the frontal projection, depending on the angle of the projectile, can ricochet even the shots of heavy tanks of its level. At the same time, he has a strong tower, as for a LT, even some STs cannot boast of such armor.
Exactly survival key factor victory over other light tanks. But it is worth noting that he retains a typical drawback of USSR technology - high fire hazard.
Mobility and intelligence
Usually armor and good firepower come at the price of mobility, but not in this case. Despite the large mass LT-432 has excellent mobility:
- high maximum speed, the best among tracked LTs;
- accelerates quickly due to a powerful engine, so that the specific power is also quite high;
- good maneuverability.
You might be surprised, but despite the armor and long hull, it has a high stealth due to its low silhouette. But the mediocre viewing radius is a little depressing.
Results
LT-432 one of the best in its class, since with new equipment it can be assembled before light if you need to perform LBZ (it does an excellent job with this) or as a support tank if you want to shoot. Moreover, Soviet LTs are always relevant in random, and it is ideal for pumping the crew.
In terms of active reconnaissance, wheeled will still be better EBR 75, and for passive sitting in the bushes ELC EVEN 90, LT-432 - the golden mean. Unlike the above premiums, he is not lost on any map, he can always shoot or shine.
Verdict — recommend to buy, the tank fully justifies its cost. A good choice for LTVs.
