No these will have worse view range armour and firepower and they will be harder to turn
that light tanks because they will play an active scouting role
But the current light tanks aren’t that good at passive scouting unless you happen to be on a particular handful of maps, and their ability to be effective fire-support is incredibly limited as well. If anything this begs the question of why not buff the existing lights’ mobility and their resistance to tipping and fall damage. Or if the goal is for lights to instead be fire-support, buff their guns.
As of the wheeled vehicles themselves, the decision to have bad view range is just silly. They could have been fantastic dedicated scouts otherwise. And since they’re supposed to have even worse firepower than the current light tanks, I’m failing to see a point here, at least in the current meta.
” I’m failing to see a point here, at least in the current meta.”
Something new to grind for. Thats about it. As you say. They won’t work on anything like a city map or a corridor map so… gameplay wise, almost pointless.
Is it me, or does this yell making Light tanks even worse?

Which makes them completely pointless by concept.
Light tanks are more suitable for passive scouting.
Maybe it’s just me, but I personally like the versatility of roles they’re trying to implement.

But will they have a new icon… like a circle or something?
Or will they have the normal light icon as any other light?
What about two small circles next to each other?
