Light tankLT
The scouting class: fast, small and heavily concealed, built to see the enemy rather than to fight them.
Also known as lights, scout, LT.
Light tanks carry the best concealment and view range in the game and almost no armor. Their contribution is measured in assistance rather than in damage, and a good one decides where a battle is fought by showing the team what is happening before anyone else can.
They are also the hardest class to play well. A light tank has no way to survive a mistake, and the difference between a scout that lights a flank and one that dies in the first minute is entirely timing.
