Historically a British design, the Tetrarch was one of a number of tanks provided to the USSR under the Lend-Lease Act. It was given as a New Years gift from Wargaming at the beginning of 2012 and has since appeared in gift shop bundles on a few occasions. Despite a number of drawbacks, such as the lack of any meaningful armor, the Tetrarch's combination of blistering speed and deadly firepower make it one of the most dangerous Tier 2 tanks one can meet.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Performance
The Tetrarch is a tank that combines gameplay aspects of light tanks and tank destroyers of its tier. Its 2-pounder gun, which features more than enough penetration to deal with any target the Tetrarch will go up against, is great for sniping. Unlike other snipers at the tier however, the Tetrarch posses incredible speed and maneuverability. This, combined with its turret-mounted armament means that the Tetrarch can quickly relocate to different sniping positions or flank unsuspecting enemies easily. This combination of speed and firepower have made it arguably one of the most effective and highly regarded Tier 2 tanks available.
Despite its strong points, the Tetrarch is not without its drawbacks. With little to no armor and a small hitpoint pool, an exposed Tetrarch will not survive long against autloaders and machine guns. This means that in most cases, the Tetrarch is best played at a distance. Unfortunately, while the Tetrarch is adept at taking out targets from such a distance, it is usually dependent on its team to spot them. The Tetrarch's poor spotting range often necessitates the use of coated optics or binoculars to see targets at a safe distance. Another thing worth noting is the Tetrarch's low ground clearance, which leaves it prone to bottoming-out on rough terrain and slows it down considerably when this happens.
A number players theorize that the Tetrarch was added primarily to counter the heavily armored Hotchkiss H35 and 38H tanks.
