?|The first American tank available to the player, the T1 Cunningham is popular with many players for its "bug-eyed" appearance, and is relatively well-known for its role as the main character in the "Do's and Don'ts" short-video series. It is not well-known, however, for its toughness, as it has the second-weakest Tier I armor in the game; however, it has the best top speed of any Tier I tank, with good acceleration and handling characteristics. Although it does not excel at bouncing shots, its guns, with very high rates of fire, are forces to be reckoned with in its tier.+

?|InTheGame_pros=+
?* Good engine power and top speed+
?* Semi-automatic guns+
?* Very high burst damage from its auto-cannons can kill almost every tier 1 tank if the complete magazine is hitting the target on ~100-200 m.+
?* Good magazine capacity+
?* Fast reload (if you are not using the 20 mm Hispano-Suiza Birkigt Gun)+
?* Rear-mounted turret gives the tank fairly good side-scraping abilities+
?* Good for 7/42s and WGLNA games+
? +
?|InTheGame_cons=+
?* Poor hull and turret armour+
?* Poor penetration+
?* Poor aim time and elevation arc+

?This tank is considerably faster than the other tier 1 vehicles, making it a good offensive tank in early battles. Fully upgraded, it is a nimble but fragile tank, so staying mobile and performing hit-and-run attacks is essential. Other than its speed, something unique to this tank at this tier are the semi-automatic guns. These guns have 5-round magazines and function the same way as the French [[Automatic_Loader|autoloaders]]. They can fire their whole magazine in quick succession, but then have a long reload time to load another five rounds. Remember, every tank the T1 Cunningham encounters will have more armor than it, so try to avoid drawn-out slugging matches. +

?With its speed, it can get into [[Automatic Loader#Autocannons|auto-cannon]] range more easily than the other Tier 1 tanks, but the problem is often staying alive long enough to kill the target at that range. Also, the reload time for the auto-cannon on this tank is absurdly long (more than twice as long as any other Tier 1 tank), giving it a distinct disadvantage. However, you can nullify this disadvantage by using the terrain to your advantage, setting up traps that result in severely or killing you opponents if done correctly+

?Please note the [[Battle_Mechanics#Map_Restrictions|Map Restrictions]] for Tier 1 tanks if you consider purchasing a camouflage skin/paint job for this tank.+
? +
?|InTheGame_research=+
?* Research the [[Gun/USA#37_mm_Semiautomatic_Gun_M1924|37 mm Semiautomatic Gun M1924]], as it has better penetration, a higher rate of fire, and is more accurate than the starting gun. +
?* When you can, upgrade to the [[Gun/USA#37_mm_Browning_Semiautomatic_Gun|37mm Browning Semiautomatic Gun]] for even more penetration and accuracy. However, this will require upgrading to the [[Turret#Cunningham_D2|Cunningham D2]] turret.+
?* The [[Engine#Cunningham_V8|Cunningham V8]] engine is cheap, and will increase your acceleration by a fair amount. Those wanting a hit-and-run style tank should upgrade to this engine quickly (which, given the play style of this tank, is essential).+
?* The [[Radio#SCR_200|SCR 200]] radio will give you a better idea of what is going on around the battlefield.+
?* Decide if you want to have a very fast-firing gun (the Hispano-Suiza Birgikt), or a gun that hits hard (the Browning Semiautomatic).+

?|History=+
?The T1 Cunningham was a US light tank design that never progressed beyond the prototype stage. Officially carrying the designations of T1E2 and T1E4, it continued through the development stages from 1922 through 1928. This tank was never mass produced, nor was it ever fielded.+
? +
?It is unknown how many were actually produced in the prototype stages, but there is at least one known to have been created. It currently resides at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, USA.+

?The T1 represented in the game is really a T1E1.+
?* The top speed was only 29 Km/h for the T1E1, and 32 Km/h for the T1.+
?* No T1 ever mounted the 20 mm Hispano-Suiza Birkigt Gun.+
