▲

Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Good armor (for a Tier 1 tank).

Cons:

• Lowest amount of HP in Tier 1.
• Fairly slow.
• Long aim time.
• Poor view range.

Performance

The MS-1 is a very capable and forgiving Tier 1 tank, making it an excellent starter vehicle. It is slower than the American and German starter tanks, but it has the thickest armour; the frontal armour in particular is almost twice as thick as the T1 Cunningham's (although 18 mm of armor is not going to stop much incoming fire to begin with). Unfortunately, the MS-1 has the lowest amount of HP out of all the Tier 1 tanks, and cannot take too many hits.

Please note the Map Restrictions for Tier 1 tanks when purchasing a camouflage skin/paint job for the MS-1.

Crew Skills

• Choosing Camouflage for both crew members as their first skills can turn the MS-1 into a near-invisible tank.
• The combination of Snap Shot (Commander/Gunner/Radio Operator/Loader) and Smooth Ride (Driver) are other viable options for first skills, allowing the MS-1 to get its shots off faster after coming to a halt.
• Upon reaching 100% on the first skills, you can drop the Commander's skill for Sixth Sense, allowing the tank to be alerted after being detected.
• Brothers-in-Arms will improve the tank's performance, but it requires all crew members to have it at 100% before it works (With only two crew members, though, this should not be too much of a challenge for the MS-1). The bonus to crew skills is particularly noticeable when combined with Improved Ventilation.

Early Research

• The 45 mm cannon is the only module available for research, so get that.

Historical Info

The MS-1 (T-18) was not only the first mass-produced Soviet tank, but it was also the first armoured vehicle that was fully-developed in Soviet Russia. Part of its design was borrowed from the FIAT 3000 and Renault FT, but it was overall superior to them, and was very well-matched with the interwar tank designs of the mid-1920s.
