Stuart I-IV
Revision as of 06:17, 17 January 2015 Right, I reread Grumbling's edit, and I just can't agree on some of these. First, both tanks have the same armor (except the driver's hatch, but I'll have to look into that). Added capability against auto-cannons (unless we're all using the M2 LT with its .50 cal). Some spelling mistakes (why did you change maneuverability to manoeuvrability, I don't know). Also erased a few of them seeing as how they're not even visible on the site. The Stuart I-IV is not a cruiser tank, it is simply a lend-lease vehicle which the Americans specifically classified as 'light tank'. But he did give some good points on other things, it's just that some of this just seems really off. | Revision as of 06:17, 20 January 2015 manoeuvrability is an acceptable spelling, like armour/armor, colour/color, etc. no need to change it. | |||

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Is able to mount the excellent British 2-Pdr. gun, which performs exceedingly well at lower tiers.
- High RoF on all guns.
- Has adequate armor for its tier; the frontal armor will bounce most lower tier auto-cannons and machine-guns.
- Good mobility and top speed when fully accelerated.
- Relatively accurate guns
Cons:
- Sluggish acceleration.
- In comparison to its American counterpart, it is slower, less mobile, has a lower RoF and a poorer radio.
- Has a boxy silhouette, making it an easy target to hit.
- Still has the same armor as the M3 Stuart, meaning that if you're caught off guard and get flanked, your sides and rear will
Performance
The Stuart I-IV it plays quite differently to its American counterpart, the M3 Stuart. It gains the OQF 2-pounder, which is better than the M3's 37mm M6. But where it gains in firepower, it loses in speed and radio range. It will take more time to get to its top speed compared to the M3 Stuart, and will not be able to contact allies of enemy positions from across large maps. Not only that, it still has the same armor as the original M3 Stuart, and is sluggish due to the weaker engine.
Stick to your friends and support by flanking enemies. Use the 2-pounder's excellent penetration and rate of fire to rip your enemy's side apart.
Early Research
- Radios will be available if you've played British tanks already. Mount it immediately.
- Research suspension and engine to gain much needed speed and manoeuvrability.
- Research turret. The 2-pounder is already available if you've played any of the British low tier 'Cruiser' tanks, so mount it too.
- Go from there.
