T-100 LT

## General Information

T-100 LT

The **T-100 LT** is a tier X Soviet light tank. It features a low profile and is one of the few tier X tanks to possess premium Armor Piercing rounds, which have 5º of standardization instead of 3º on APCR rounds. In exchange however, the T-100 LT only has 5º of gun depression over the front. It was released in Update 8.7. The T-100 LT was the first tier X to receive the Tracer Shells special mechanic. It is preceded by the Object 84.

## Strategy

### Pros

* Low profile
* Rounded armor on the front of turret, increases effective thickness
* Sharply angled upper plate, may produce ricochets
* Can use premium AP rounds
* 3K+ DPM with equipment and provisions
* 25 km/h top reverse speed is higher than most tier X's
* Access to Tracer Shells

### Cons

* Only 5º of gun depression over the front of the vehicle
* Low hitpool
* Doesn't have much armor despite the rounded armor on the turret and sharply angled upper plate
* Light, can get rammed for most of its hitpool
* Below average gun elevation at 15º

### Strategy

#### As the T-100 LT

As the T-100 LT is a light tank, it can help scout out a flank with other lights and/or mediums. Since the vehicle's hitpool isn't very high, it should play cautiously and shouldn't push forward aggressively by itself. The T-100 LT works well with allies and fast heavies, as the group can swarm enemies or whittle down their hitpool to eventually destroy them. Angle your hull so that it is parallel to ridge-lines and turn your turret accordingly to get more gun depression over your sides. Use your premium AP rounds to better deal with enemies that other lights and mediums can't deal with.

Utilize Tracer Shells by shooting the enemies with any ammo type. The shell doesn't have to penetrate the enemy's armor, it just has to hit the enemy. This can help in scouting as any enemy that gets hit with Tracer Shells will have to wait for 20 seconds to become unspotted (Adaptive Concealment reduces this time, such as on the WZ-132-1).

#### Against the T-100 LT

Due to the T-100 LT's low profile, a precise shot must be dealt to penetrate HE or HESH at the sides of the vehicle. Too high, and it hits the turret or misses. Too low, and it splashes the tracks or misses. For frontline heavies and assault TDs (e.g. Minotauro, T110E3), getting hit with Tracer Shells is not fatal unless if it's in the later stages of battle. Ramming an unsuspecting T-100 LT when it's safe for you to do so is an option, since the T-100 LT is light.

Tracking a T-100 LT in an open area allows the player and their teammates to ultimately destroy the vehicle.

## History

From Blitzhangar: "A project for a light tank with the T-100 armament. Jointly developed by Research Institute No. 100 and GSKB-47 (State Specialized Design Bureau) in the mid-1960s. The vehicle featured decent armor that could protect it from 90-mm shells (in case of frontal impact) at any distance."
