• NoobMeter tank stats

U.S.A

II - M2-Light

• Very funny little tank. Fun to drive and play. Got mastership very rapidly. Best gun is the rapid fire gun, which allows to turn around target, and shoot while driving.

IV - M5-Stuart

• Had to play lots of game with that tank in order to get the M24-Chaffee. Was hard to play at the beginning, but was getting more fun when fully equiped. Not as fun as M2 / M3, but force to learn the basics of WoT. In the end, was a nice experience

V - M24-Chaffee

• An excellent scout, according to [3] (+also another video on youtube)
• Very expensive to repair (on purpose, according to [4], see also my post on [5])

T-40

• An excellent tank killer, especially when equipped with the 105mm AT Howitzer M3.
• With the Groundhog Day mission (+75k credit when killing 4 tanks and surviving), I collect 300k easily with this tank.
• Reported as best tier IV tank in Winner for J!NX on Random Battles

French

ELC AMX

• Not played. Very fast light tank, and thin. Can hide easily in rifts, or behind small relief.
• Probably not so expensive to repair

German

VK-2801

• Seems favorite scout from Tazilon, an expert scout player.
