The Mk VII Tetrarch is a British tier 2 premium light tank that is lend leased to the USSR. It was available as a New Years gift from Wargaming to all players for a limited time from the release of the 0.7.1 patch. It is well-armed, fast on firm ground and has a powerful radio. This is balanced by limited ammunition, weak armor, poor view range and sluggish cross country performance.

Historical Info
MkVII Tetrarch - A World War II air transportable British light tank. Developed by Vickers between 1938-1940 on its own initiative, initially as a reconnaissance tank, to replace the obsolete Mk VI. However, because of poor results shown by light tanks in the first year of World War II, the production of the Tetrarch, which began in 1940, was soon stopped. Interest in the Mk VII began again in 1941 when it was decided to use it as an air transportable tank. Series production of the Tetrarch was resumed and continued from 1941 to 1942. Total production amounted to 177 vehicles. The Tetrarch saw limited use by British troops in battle during the years 1942-1945 and remained in service after the war until the end of the 1940s. The MkVII was also available in the USSR in small quantities during the war under the Lend-Lease program.
