Pros and Cons
Pros:
- One of the most agile tanks in the game
- High acceleration
- One of the fastest tanks in game
- Almost no speed "bleeding"
- High firing gun that pack quite a punch
Cons:
- Lacks view range
- No radio operator makes it harder to acquire that position's radio and view range extending skills.
- Is quite easily tracked
- Quite vulnerable for HE shells
- Relatively low damage per shot
Performance
The T-50-2's high 72 km/h top speed, rapid acceleration, small size, and stunning agility make it arguably the best scout in the game. If used properly by a skilled player it can be one of the most valuable tanks on a team. It does not lose much speed while maneuvering, making zigzagging movements effective. The small size and frontal silhouette of the tank make it difficult to hit at range, allowing the driver to close the gap with as little damage as possible. In addition, the 57mm ZiS-4 can pierce the sides of most tanks, allowing the T-50-2 to do some damage and effectively destroy enemy artillery. The T-50-2's sloped armor has a tendency to make lucky ricochets even against the infamous 8.8 cm KwK L/71. Be careful about how you drive this light tank, as without a premium account, the repairs bill can cost you more than you earn - sometimes, even if your team wins.
Oddly, the F-34 76mm gun from the T-34 has a higher rate of fire on the T-50-2 than on its medium counterpart. Italic text
Early Research
- If you played the T-34 or T-28 previously, the ZiS-4 and the F-34, but the ZiS-4 requires the second turret
- The guns from the T-50 carry over
- First, research the suspension
- Second, research the engines to make your scouting easier.
- Then research the second turret and purchase the ZiS-4 if you played the two tanks mentioned above.
- Go from there

Historical Info
The project from the Factory No. 185 was known as Object 126 or T-126 SP, which later evolved into T-127, and eventually led to the T-50.
The competing Factory No. 100 came up with project known as Object 211, some sources name it "T-50-2". It was made in 1941 under the leadership of A. S. Yermolayev. Object 211 was slightly similar to the T-126 SP, it had 2x6 small wheels springed by torsions bars, but in comparison with the T-126 SP, the wheels were differently-made, distance between two whells was different etc. Object 211 also had a differently shaped and angled front armor, longer hull, and differently designed turret with much lower commander's cupola.
Unfortunately Object 211 did not win the competition because the it did not bring any expressive advantages in comparison with the T-126 SP.
The only prototype was deployed in the defense of Leningrad where it was destroyed.
