?|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 Tetrarch is a tank that combines gameplay aspects of [[Light Tanks|light tanks]] and [[Tank Destroyers|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 [[Equipment#Coated_Optics|coated optics]] or [[Equipment#Bincular Telescope|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 [[Hotchkiss H35|H35]] and [[Tank:H39_captured|38H]] tanks.+

?|History=+
?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. +
