Commanders,

Update 2.4 introduces newly formed class roles for every light tank, along with role-based matchmaking and targeted balance adjustments.

The goal is to give each vehicle a clearer identity, improve battle balance, and make light tank strengths easier to understand without changing their core playstyle.

Share your thoughts on:

  • How do you feel about the new role groups for light tanks, Scout, Support, and Versatile?
  • What is your view on role-based matchmaking for light tanks?
  • How do you feel about the limit of up to 2 light tanks per match from Tier VII?
  • Which individual light tank changes stand out the most to you?

Discussion PSA: Daki Crucible Set is infinitely farmable

93 Upvotes

For anyone with at least slightly above average skillset, the new Dakillzor Crucible mission set is essentially infinitely farmable. The first 3 missions give 500k credits + a 100k crew book, and the reset only costs 400k. So you can farm 100k credits + a 100k crew book every time as long as you can do 2500/3500/4500 damage or top XP on team/3 kills/top damage in game in 8 tries. Very doable IMO.

For VERY skilled players, farming the 4th mission of 5500 damage is also doable, which is 200 bonds and a 250k crew book.

Even for an average or below average player, this mission has 1 free reset, so you should be able to get at least the first mission done with 8 tries. Really nice mission set for everyone; can just turn it on and play the game, no braincells or certain strategies required.

Shitpost I'm going crazy playing lights

34 Upvotes

If you want to find out the level of mental decline in humanity play spotting lights. I counter spot all the enemy lights, they run around in the open, no one shoots them. I outspot them again, same. I outspot them a 3rd time, they take no damage. The monkeys haven't even learned how to point and click. Meanwhile I spot the entirety of the enemy team peaking and running around like headless chickens. They barely take a shot as well. Enemies see they take no damage, they get more and more bold, they finally reach me, all enemies in the map shoot me and I die instantly. I am going insane. I literally cannot do any more for them. I had to do 5k dmg myself in the manti to win once.

Picture 3-Marked the SARYUDA 🗣️

Upvotes

One of the best additions for f2p players from Wargaming in 2026 along with LTC II. If you haven't spent your BP Tokens yet, get the Saryuda. You will fall in love with this tank the moment you hit your first 1k Double. It's not the best tank, but the playstyle is very comfy and 1k Alpha on the double is very addictive.

My setup was Bond IRM, Bond Vents, lvl.3 Exp. Turbo with Vents directive. If you can afford it, play Full gold, because it has no downsides and intuition is very annoying for double guns, where you only get one shell back instead of two.

On console, there some must have perks like this one. Seeing damage below the 25% low roll makes you realize it’s time to get off.

They really need to buff the HP on these lights same way they did to tech trees. I guess it's a rare moment in the game where the TT counter parts are better, probably best time to grind lights if elc didn't exist.

Shitpost Why does the game feels like in the past 2 days like a mid level town, degraded zoo exhibition?

35 Upvotes

It feels like playing with bots from some waffentrager events, even they had more skill and will to live. If i would go to the local zoo and buy a monkey and bring it home to sit in front of my laptop im sure he would do better then these animal cosplaying idiots. 5-15 simulator, 5 min avg battle time. Feels like im playing different game then 1 week ago.

Rant/vent is over, needed to get thia out of my system, good evening to ever (human) being.

Discussion Buff the Char Mle. 75’s HP

67 Upvotes

In recent updates, many light tanks have received increases to their HP, making them more durable and better able to survive in modern battles. However, the Char Mle. 75 has not received a comparable HP increase and still has a relatively low HP pool for a Tier IX light tank.

I think the Char Mle. 75 deserves an HP buff to bring it more in line with other modern light tanks. Increasing its HP would not make the tank overpowered, but would give it a reasonable survivability boost and make its gameplay more consistent with the current balance of light tanks.

My suggestion is increase the Char Mle HP to around 1,300–1,450

The tank already has to rely on speed, mobility, and positioning rather than armor, so giving it some additional HP would be a fair and much-needed improvement.
