-* The QF 6-pounder 8 cwt Mk. II is the most powerful single-shot gun of Tier 1, and is fairly accurate with high penetration.
+* Both guns are excellent: 3 pdr for accuracy and 6 pdr for raw power (The HE Shells can practically wipe out all tier Is).
-* The OQF 3-pounder Mk. I is one of the most accurate guns of Tier 1.
+* Fairly high DPM for a tier I tank
-* Large crew complement reduces extent of tank performance loss when crew are injured.
+* Has a full 5 man crew (Most others in its class have 2-3).
-* Highest HP of any Tier 1 tank.
+* Highest HP pool of tier I.
+* Tracks are a little stronger than the hull and can (very rarely) absorb a shot
 |InTheGame_cons=
-* Huge size.
+* Absolutely ridiculous size (Some heavies have a higher camo rating!).
-* Second weakest armour in the game suffers a lot against autocannons.
+* Armor can be penetrated by a pellet gun (Autocannons are instant death).
-* Poor mobility.
+* Very sluggish, can't get out of its own way.
-* Long aim time with the 3-pounder, and slow shell speed.
+* 3 pdr has a longer aim time than the 6 pdr and slow shell velocity.
-* Unlike the other Tier 1 lights, the Medium I does not keep its camouflage bonus while moving, making it easier to spot.
+* Can no longer mount the dreaded 15mm BESA Machinegun.

-|The Vickers Medium Mk. I is the only Tier 1 medium tank. It has a good selection of weapons, all of which are quite viable and powerful for Tier 1, but unfortunately has many severe limitations in many other respects. It has the worst armour of any tier 1, it is very slow, and it is a medium tank so it does not keep its camo bonus while moving making it easy to detect. Recommended playstyle with this is to not engage in close quarters because any tanks with auto cannons or machine guns will shred you like cheese against a cheese grater. It is recommended to try and be a medium range support gun, the top gun's damage is devastating (70 points average) and for a tier 1 it is somewhat accurate (0.52 at 100m).

 Besides the thin armour, the Medium Mk I is very sluggish and unmaneuverable. It is very vulnerable to being circled by other light tanks, exacerbated by the relatively slow turret traverse.
-The Vickers Medium Mk. I has a choice of two guns. It starts off with the '''OQF 3-pounder Mk. I''', which has the best accuracy of any Tier 1 gun (along with the 25 mm Canon Raccourci mle. 1934 on the [[RenaultFT|Renault FT]]), which is counterbalanced by the very long aim time. With APCR, it also has the best penetration of the Medium Mk. I's guns.  The second gun is the '''QF 6-pounder 8 cwt Mk. II'''. The gun packs a huge punch, and is capable of killing any Tier 1 tank in two shots. This is counterbalanced by its horrible accuracy, although it does have a fairly good aim time.

 Despite having the most hit points of any Tier 1 tank, the Medium Mk. I, is also a lot larger than any of the other Tier 1 tanks and is a very attractive target. It is generally best to stay behind the main force and support them from behind, trying not to be spotted, or fight in urban areas, staying behind better armoured tanks like the [[Tank:NC27|Renault Otsu]], Renault FT, and [[NC-31]], providing support fire and using buildings as cover for reloading and to hide the massive hull. The 3-pounder is accurate enough (by Tier 1 standards) to snipe at fairly long distances, while the 6-pounder, despite its inaccuracy, can be used as a sort of pseudo-artillery to bombard enemy tanks at long distances.

-One would think that as the only medium tank of Tier 1, the Vickers Medium Mk. I would be expected to be more heavily armed, less mobile, but more heavily armoured than its Tier 1 counterparts. The first two are quite true, but the third is unfortunately not. With a maximum armour thickness of 6 mm, the Medium Mk. I has the thinnest armour of any tank in the game, excluding the [[A101 M56|M56 Scorpion]]. Any gun will easily penetrate the armour, while high explosive rounds will almost certainly do full damage, wrecking the Mk. I. Under no circumstances must the Mk. I engage in close combat with other tanks armed with autocannons, as they will rip the Mk. I to shreds, turning the armour plates into swiss cheese in seconds.
