[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

AnnoA71_T21.png

900000

The T21 is an American tier 6 light tank.

A lightweight version of the T20 medium tank with the M7 elongated chassis. The vehicle was developed in the first half of 1943. Unlike the T20 tank, the T21 featured reduced armor and lighter armament. The vehicle never entered mass production nor saw service.

The T21 is a lighter variant of the T20 medium tank. It has good maneuverability & a great view range, on top of having a good power to weight ratio. Additionally, it uses the same gun as the M4 E8/E2, having rather low penetration in exchange for a high rate of fire & great handling.

The T21 marks the end of its American light line.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Good view range (tied for 2nd best out of Tier 6 lights with VK 28.01)
  • Decent camo rating makes a great passive or active scout with binos or optics
  • Nice penetration & RoF on the top gun, its gun handling surpasses even the famous Easy Eight
  • Excellent hp/weight ratio & very high traverse gives this scout tank good mobility & speed
  • Decent peek-a-boo flanker


Cons:


  • Poor armor even for a light tank, exceptionally vulnerable to HE shells
  • Worst top speed of all Tier 6 light tanks (by 3 Km/h), racing for scout spots can be difficult


Performance

As with any tank, equipment improves the effectiveness of the T21. It is recommended to combine (or mix & match as preferred) equipment to these main playstyles:

Scout: Camouflage Net, Binoculars, (choice is yours, recommend Coated Optics) In this role, you'll play more passive than active scouting. The T21 doesn't have the speed or low profile to play an active scout, so guerrilla tactics are important here; hence the Net and Binoculars.

Flanker: Gun Rammer/Coated Optics, Vertical Stabilizer, & Vents. This will let you use that sweet M1A2 at will. Play always in & with support & you can lay some serious damage on the enemy. However, do be aware you won't last nearly as long as mediums do while trying to function in the same role as them. Coated Optics might help you if you choose this set up, as it allows you to become a deadly Artillery Hunter, finding & eliminating any SPGs.

A more balanced setup would use binoculars, a rammer, & a vertical stabilizer. This setup will maximize your flexibility & allow you to fulfill multiple roles. This will maximize your DPM & ability to fire accurately on the move. Of note is the T21's ability to fire accurately on the move; this is great for chasing other tanks or for flanking.


Early Research

  • Neither the 76 mm Gun M1A2L nor the Ford GAN A Engine require the upgraded suspension, so research them in whichever order you want to.
  • Finally, research the VVSS T48M1A2 Suspension.

Historical Info

T21 wooden mockup
Not strictly part of the T20 series medium tanks, but closely related to them, the T21 was proposed as a replacement for the M3 & M5 series of Light tanks. It was to have been based on the T20 mechanics, would have had a 30 mm armour base, been armed with the 76 mm gun & weighed 24 tons. The design was prepared but held in abeyance as it was deemed too heavy for the light tank class. Ultimately the T21 concept was superseded by the T24 program, which was standardized as the M24 Chaffee.
