-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 the same meaty 390 alpha damage (joint highest among Tier 10 light tanks) and a reasonably good penetration for its class, though using standard AP ammunition (APCR is available as premium rounds); gun depression is good, but gun elevation is very lacking, as is ammo 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.
