# 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](/glossary/camouflage.md) and [view range](/glossary/view-range.md) in the game and almost no [armor](/glossary/armor-thickness.md). 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](/glossary/flanking.md) and one that dies in the first minute is entirely timing.
