With the lightest stuff we've seen so far having armour 1, will all light tanks be 0?
Strikes me that the armour scale is a bit off if that's the case.
Or does it mean that we aren't seeing light tanks at all? If so, we'll be missing out on huge chunks of the tanks available in ww2, and the Italians and early/mid war won't be playable at all.

I think light tanks will still have 1 armour, otherwise they are to vulnerable.
What i see is that light tanks, with low firepower and low armour, need special abilities like the Cromwell and IS-85 got. Nothing what makes them more powerful but comes in handy like smoke devices. But please, dear developers, dont do something like BA did with recce. :O
They also should be paired with high initiative, which fits the theme of a light tank.

I agree :)
High initiative, fast, low hit points, and low firepower.
WE WANT LIGHTS!!! :)

High Init and speed fits the brief. Many failed to deliver, so might be less than stellar.

Light tanks, or even wheeled recce vehicles would be pushing the game system into the tactical realm vs. beyond the "tankers challenge/tourney" skirmish game. I would greatly appreciate it if Tanks could be considered such a game system, where scenarios involving reconnaissance AFVs could operate up-front (and have a purposeful combat role), but here on the forum, the idea of Tanks being a system to employ multi-role missions, or combine-arms scenarios was basically ruled out (unfortunately).

Plenty of wheeled vehicles with medium at guns.
It makes early war impossible, mid difficult. Not everyone is obsessed with the late war beasts.
Very disappointing if true.

I think we will see light tanks in the game later, probably in more of a support role, I want me some Vickers lol |

I have a working list of light tanks, and a few of us are working on creating custom stats for them. |
Panzer Vor!!! |
