LTTB Review/Guide, Methodically Using Vision and Speed

I review the LTTB, a tier 8 Russian light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with a replay of a tier 10 Airfield battle. The LTTB is popular among Russian light tank fans, as it combines excellent mobility with functional hull and turret armor. While the armor can't be relied upon to prevent AP penetration by tier 8-10 guns, you can bully lower tier lights and mediums, and the armor protects the LTTB from the triple-overmatch mechanic and lowers the probability of penetrations by HE. On the flipside, the LTTB has high HE alpha which is useful for countering other lights and squishy TDs. Strengths and Weaknesses Functional armor for a light tank, without meaningfully sacrificing mobility Excellent turning speed Good accuracy (0.36 base) Good DPM relative to tech tree peers (2k base) Good acceleration High HE alpha (300) Low chance of fire (12%), so you can run food without high risk Very poor max gun depression (-5) Occasional over-turning / fishtailing Low ammo capacity (42) can be an issue in long battles Somewhat tall profile Difficult to reach 445+m of view range without food due to lackluster view range (380m base), unless you have a very skilled crew Recommended Equipment 1. Optics 2. VStab 3. Rammer This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
