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.

AnnoGB100_Manticore.png

6100000

The Manticore is a British tier 10 light tank.

A light tank project with an oscillating turret for providing anti-tank defense behind infantry positions. No prototypes were built, and it existed only in blueprints.

The Manticore marks the end of its British light line.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Best standard penetration in class.
  • Good gun depression.
  • Good speed and acceleration.
  • Small size and low profile, excellent camouflage.


Cons:


  • Poor special ammo with increased penetration loss over distance (APCR).
  • Very poor DPM.
  • Subpar accuracy and gun handling.
  • Very low ammo capacity.
  • Very poor gun elevation.


Performance

The Manticore is equipped with an underpowered variant of the 105mm L7 found on many other Western tanks (such as the Centurion Mk.7/1), with good 390 alpha damage and a reasonably good penetration for its class; gun depression is good, but elevation is very lacking; can easily run out of ammo due to the very low capacity. It is also a very small and light tank, and enjoys excellent acceleration and good speed, as well as very good camouflage; its size also allows it to hide in most bushes and behind cover with ease, something Manticore players would do well to get acquainted with. Survivability is abysmal - the armor is so thin artillery penetrations are a real possiblity, the healthpool is low, and the crew of two (with the Commander also being Gunner and Radio Operator) means it's quite easy for all crewmen to get injured and knock out the tank.

Manticore is not a tank suited for leading a team to victory. It is, however, a superb passive spotter and a potentially serious threat if left unchecked. Players are encouraged to adopt a cautious playstyle, creeping around the battlefield while abusing camouflage and vision mechanics to provide effective spotting for their teammates, while taking safe potshots at distracted and/or unwary enemies. Always be mindful of the very small ammo capacity though, and make every shot count.

The tank is only recommended for very experienced players who want a challenge. The tank struggles to put out damage and mostly relies on the support of the team, cannot effectively engage targets on its own.

Historical Info

Chimera (or in-game Manticore) was 1955's british tank design. The name "Manticore" is a straight fabrication on Wargamming's part, probably to avoid confusion with the other Chimera. There was some blueprints drawn. Vehicle was never built or made.


While the Chimera is certainly a "light" tank at 12.4 tonnes (27,345lbs more precisely), it would have been more accurate to describe the tank as a self-propelled anti-tank gun. To quote the documents about the aim of the STT project "To design a vehicle-mounted substitute for the BAT which is acceptable in the Forward Infantry positions. Its role is to provide anti-tank defence for the Infantry Battalion up to 1000 yards stand off distance in front of the Forward Defended localities." For reference, the L2 BAT is a 120mm recoil-less rifle used by the British as a Battalion anti tank gun. The vehicle also had a much smaller engine, but I'll get too other inaccuracies in a moment.


To sum up these (and other information) in a simplified WOT-friendly form.


  • Turrets: Chimera
  • Guns: Gun: QF 105mm (ex 20 pounder). The 105mm L7 was still being developed at this time.
  • Engines: Rolls Royce B81 (198bhp @ 3700 RPM)
  • Suspension: Webbed Single Trailing Spud
  • Radio: B 47 VHF and C 47 VHF
  • Crew: 2 (Commander/Gunner/Radio Operator, Driver/Loader)
  • Weight: 27,345lbs (12.403 t)
  • Max Speeds: 32mph (51.49km/h)
  • Hull: 25mm / 29mm / 17mm.
  • Turret: 28mm / 28mm / 20mm
  • Elevation/Depression: +10/-10.
  • Shell Capacity: 20 rounds (not 16)


And as for the dimensions.

  • Dimensions: 66 Inches (1.6764m) High, 96 inches (2.4384m) Wide, 183 inches (4.6482m) Long, 272 inches (6.9088m) long counting gun.

Historical Accuracy Errata

The following are consensus errors or inconsistencies which have been identified with the configuration of the vehicle in question and conflict with information available on the public record. The causes for these divergences in the game are normally not disclosed and may be rooted in game balance.

The Manticore's actual designation is actually the Chimera 1955. The fake name was given to avoid confusion with another existing tank in World of Tanks which were also named as "Chimera".
  • The Chimera 1955 project was a tank destroyer, not a light tank.
  • The Chimera 1955 project used an autoloader.
