American branch of world of tanks research. Tanker's Manual: US Light Tanks
The developers made an interesting decision. As part of the reworking of the American light tanks branch, they decided to divide the light tanks into 2 branches. One will be drum-based, and the other will have cyclic loading guns. The branch whose top is Sheridan will become completely “drumless”, and drum LTs will be mixed in the game branch with the T57 Heavy top.
To achieve this goal, a new LT will be added to the branch without reels, and the tank leveling tree will also be changed.
The moment with changes to the research tree will be clearly graphical, but the new LT needs to be considered in more detail. Its name is T71 CMCD, and it belongs to the 7th gaming level.
Well, without further delay, let’s look at its performance characteristics.
Booking
840 HP is already a familiar figure for a light tank at level 7. Normal or good armor for LTs is extremely rare. And there were no exceptions here. The tank's hull is armored up to 25mm from the front, 22mm on the sides, and 19mm on the rear. The tower is fully armored in 22mm all around.
The visibility of 390 meters for level 7 is more than good, which means the T71 CMCD will cope well with the role of a reconnaissance officer.
Mobility
So what, mobility is an extremely important thing for LT. The effectiveness of this type of equipment on the battlefield also depends on it, plus simply the survivability becomes higher for vehicles with greater mobility.
340 horses “under the hood” with a weight of 17 tons give exactly 20 horsepower per ton. This is a kind of average, closer to low figure.
The chassis rotates 46 degrees per second, which is a good indicator. But what do you say when you find out that the tower rotates 65 degrees per second?! This is simply magnificent, because even on the gusle they won’t screw us up.
T71 CMCD gives a maximum speed of 65 km/h forward, but in reverse no more than 25 km/h. You might want a little more forward speed (but it’s ok), but the reverse speed is amazing and there’s no point in asking for more.
gun
We have reached the last point, but not to the point. Basic shells have an armor penetration of 145mm, while gold shells raise the bar to 210mm. One-time damage from a shot is 150 units. We will have to wait as much as 4.5 seconds for each new shot. As a result, we receive 2000 damage per minute.
Bottom line
Honestly, just by the name T71 CMCD it is clear that something new is not waiting for us. This is actually true. Same gun and similar performance as the original T71. But if you look at the car in a vacuum, then it’s fine. I would only complain about the penetration, but the rest is not subject to complaints. Normal specific power, good DPM, excellent maximum speed and maneuverability, as well as gun level and aiming.
The technical characteristics of the tank in a graphical version are in front of you.
As promised, I’m showing you what the American tank branch will look like after the changes.
And that's all. Have a great weekend!
Hello, fellow tankers! Today we will look at the American branch of tank development (in the game), or rather, I will describe to you all its pros and cons in as much detail as possible from my point of view and, perhaps, help you decide on the choice of nation.
Popularity of US tanks in World of Tanks
American tanks– sounds serious. They are no less serious in battle. It’s not for nothing that this technique is so loved and respected in the game. The most popular premium tanks in the game are American. The most powerful artillery in the game is American, etc. But in real life, US tanks had and still have the best reputation in the world, so to speak. Many experienced players like to ride American equipment. And just amateurs often play it for fun. US tanks are considered the most “convenient” tanks in the game.Advantages and disadvantages of American tanks
- From advantages Most equipment is worth noting the armor. Many American tanks have strong frontal armor, and especially turret armor. An example is such tanks as T29, T32, T34, “Goose” and many others. The guns are also a plus, although they don’t shine with anything special, unlike the Germans, French or even the Soviets. They are easy to use, well balanced, and the only downsides are the aiming speed and dispersion. Good visibility and speed of many cars are also advantages.
- Minus The Americans are armored hulls. For many vehicles it suffers greatly, especially for those that have good guns. The same T29, T30, T34 and many, even top tanks, easily penetrate the frontal armor. But the Americans also have tanks with excellent armor and weapons.
General
The technique is divided into 4 initial development branches WoT: tank destroyers (up to T82), medium tanks (up to M3 Lee), light tanks (up to M5 Stuard) and self-propelled guns (artillery).Fri-Sau
American anti-tank guns famous for their cannons, and some for their legendary armor. You can get a lot of pleasure from breaking through them and damaging them at any level of battles. At T82, the development tree is divided into two branches: up to T110E4 and up to T110E3. The path to the T110E4 lies through tank destroyers with guns that have high damage but low armor. And tank destroyers up to T110E3 have both good damage/penetration and excellent frontal armor (an example is the T95, about whose armor and speed you can see a lot of memes and jokes). In general, we can say about them that they are pleasant to play and they can decide the outcome of the battle. The only negative is the armor and speed (each branch has its own), and the guns are the best at the level. The most popular vehicles of this type of technology are the M18 Hellcat, T30, T95 and ten-tier tank destroyers.Medium tanks
US medium tanks they start immediately from the second level and have good armor, but are too large in size. The branch goes to the M3 Lee (a tank that is unloved by many due to the lack of a turret and a huge silhouette, although it is quite well armored and has a good rapid-fire cannon). Then there is a branch to heavy tanks (up to T110E5, passing through the most popular tanks, such as T29, T32), and to medium tanks (starting with the M4 Sherman, which has the famous high explosive (which is very popular at this level, especially with premium shells), and passing through the forehead-impenetrable medium tanks M4A3E2 and M4A3E8 (although it is more corton), and reaching the weakly armored but mobile T20, Pershing and ending with the quite popular Patton). US medium tanks have access to heavy tanks.Light tanks
US light tanks starting from M2 Light and ending with M5 Stuard, after which there is a branching to M24 Chaffee and to. Chaffee is a dead end branch of development. After the medium tank M7 there are relatively new and interesting tanks T21, T71, T69 (which has a huge penetration of 300 mm with a premium shell for its level), T54e1 and the most popular tank in the game today T57 Heavy. Starting from the T71, all tanks in this branch have a drum loading mechanism. The most interesting thing about US light tanks at the initial levels is that they have penetrating guns, excellent speed, excellent armor, but all this is compensated by a little maneuverability.self-propelled guns
Artillery - the gods of war. It’s not for nothing that they were called that, because a skilled artillery commander can crush all enemy tanks and keep all enemies at bay. Self-propelled guns fire along a hinged trajectory from a howitzer aiming mode at long distances. The advantages of American artillery are its enormous damage. Otherwise, they are quite inaccurate, have a low projectile speed and a large spread. The T92 is considered the most powerful artillery in the game and even heavily armored tanks like the Maus are afraid to hit it.Bottom line
To summarize, we can say that American tanks are good, convenient and attractive for beginners. They forgive mistakes of inexperienced players, thanks to their armor and one-time damage. They are fun to play and can be used to control direction alone. The biggest disadvantages are only in mixing and dispersion. Otherwise, they may well be a good competitor to any nation. It is recommended for beginners to download American Tanks in order to understand the mechanics of the game and learn to play more or less well. While pumping up this nation, it is worth remembering that high-speed vehicles do not have armor, and armored vehicles do not have speed. Premium technology is a separate topic for description.Since the release of the worldoftanks game, there have been a lot of changes in it, which concern such things as gameplay, graphics, tank physics, changes in the battle and hangar interface, the addition of many game modes, etc. However, the main change since the release of the game for each player is the change of combat vehicles and the process of modernizing the tank development branch itself. Those who have been playing World of Tanks since the very beginning have already seen a lot. More than once, combat vehicles were replaced by others, and a complete rebalancing of equipment also took place. And this applies not only to any particular type of equipment, but we are talking about a complete change in the characteristics of each machine. There probably isn't a single car affected that hasn't been modified during this period. So, the main question that interests many players now is the tank development tree in worldoftanks.
At the time of the release of game update 1.5.0.4, the vehicle development tree consists of eight nations. Each nation will delight players with a wide variety of cars from the first to the tenth level. Vehicles from the following nations are available in the game:
The development branch of the USSR in world of tanks is the most attractive and developed;
The development branch of German tanks that appeared immediately after the USSR;
The American branch of tank development is also considered one of the very first and best;
A little later, a development branch for French technology appears;
Following it proudly are British tanks, which have good performance, but speed often lets them down;
The branch of Chinese tanks is still at the stage of active development;
Well, and the very new tanks of Japan, which not everyone has gotten used to yet, but they are easy enough to remember, because they are all in the same way;
The most recent development branch added a branch of Czechoslovak tanks.
Soviet development branch of World of Tanks.
The technology of this nation is considered the most beloved among players, and all for the simple reason that it was the very first branch in this game and therefore has existed the longest. It has many good and worthy vehicles for the game, which will delight you with their high penetration, acceptable vehicle armor and fast gun reloading. In addition, many players justify their choice by the fact that the technology of the Soviet nation is unique, and it can be played not only using any style of play, but also the level of skills. Each vehicle adapts not only to the battle map, but also adapts to the specific player, which gives more self-confidence and significantly helps during the battle. In this branch there are techniques of all four types, and they are very diverse. In this regard, choosing the right car for yourself from USSR equipment will be as easy as shelling pears. There are many good heavy tanks here, the armor of which will allow you to tank, along with them there are also light tanks. You can ride them like a breeze and just have fun. Medium tanks will not let you down either, as they perfectly combine the characteristics of light tanks with high speed, and have inherited good armor and ricochet angles from heavy vehicles. There are also formidable anti-tank self-propelled artillery units, perfect for players who like to punish other vehicles. This will allow you to achieve not only the highest penetration of guns, but also damage for each shot. For special gourmets to play, there is also artillery, which will allow you to punish all types of tanks without any effort.
German development branch of World of Tanks.
The German development branch will delight you with its high accuracy in the world of tanks game. It is this branch that is considered one of the best branches, in which the machines have increased accuracy compared to the technology of all other nations. Just like in the previous development branch, here you can find many vehicles of various types, from light tanks to artillery. In addition to their accuracy, German tanks also stand out for their high strength. Their armor is very good and the higher the level of the tank, the more noticeable this becomes. It can be very difficult to penetrate an enemy vehicle, especially if you take such heavy tanks as the E-75 and VK4502B. Skillful play on such a technique will make your opponent rage and tremble, because every time he will hear the banal phrase “didn’t hit” or “ricochet”.
American development branch of World of Tanks.
Third in order, but not in terms of quality of tanks, is the American development branch in the world of tanks game. It perfectly combines such qualities as good armor, speed, gun power and damage. Of course, this development branch has its own unique tanks, unlike the others and on which you can focus your attention, but these are only isolated cases. In general, the cars are very good and at each level you can easily identify favorites and say with confidence that this is one of the best cars of its level.
French development branch of World of Tanks.
Unfortunately, this branch of tank development cannot boast of its own armor, since all the tanks of this nation simply do not have it, however, it differs from others in that it was the first in whose arsenal there were drum guns of good accuracy. These guns punished the equipment of other nations for a very long time precisely because of the large number of shells in the drum. It is very difficult to resist a car that comes at you, and it has 6 shells loaded at once instead of one, and in most cases it ends with the player who entered the battle with such a tank being defeated.
British development branch of World of Tanks.
This development branch is practically no different from the others; it has a little of everything from each. Some cars have armor, but no speed, while others have the opposite. The calibers of the guns are not very large, which very often brings unpleasant surprises, which are accompanied by the phrases “the armor is not penetrated” and “ricochet”.
Chinese and Japanese branches of World of Tanks development.
These two branches are still very little developed to judge them, but already now, we can say that Chinese technology is practically analogous to Soviet technology with slightly better performance, although their armor is weaker. As for Japanese tanks, there is no armor or good guns, everything is at a very low level, so there is no reason to like this type of equipment yet.
Czechoslovak branch of the World of Tanks development.
The tanks of this nation appeared with the release of this update, and differ only in much better armor and larger sizes. Due to these characteristics, speed suffered, so the tanks received a low maximum speed.

Peculiar branch of American tanks in attracts more and more fans from different parts of the world. But in order to achieve certain success in this field, you need to study classes of combat vehicles.
Review of American tanks in WoT
It is important to focus on heavy tanks; it is known that at the 5th and 6th levels there are T1 Heavy and M6, they are truly passable vehicles. There are not many disadvantages, but there are also few outstanding features. The difference is considered to be sufficient mobility, a noticeable silhouette, armor and rapid-fire weapons. One-time T1 damage is only 115 points, so it is important to constantly maintain fire contact with your opponent. It turns out that we are talking about standard support vehicles, on which it is rational to stay on the 2nd line and never get into trouble.
Features of heavy tanks.
Among the American heavy tanks in the world of tanks, it is important to highlight the T29, a vehicle at level 7, clearly different from its analogues, it has an almost impenetrable turret, it can cause unprecedented damage. Due to a decent aiming angle, you will be able to actively attack enemies, but at the same time it is better to drive up a hill. Thus, it will be easier to resist opponents if artillery does not cover. The good news is that it has a 198 mm projectile, which can inflict 320 damage at a time. Among the disadvantages are low mobility, large size and a cardboard base, which is easily penetrated by the enemy.
Medium tanks in the game.
Considering the American medium tanks World of Tanks, it should be said about the M48A1, but this direction is not as popular as it seems. The model at level 10 is considered the worst medium tank, quite large, and also with cardboard armor. But be that as it may, there are decent cars in the branch. For example, the M4 tank, it has a high speed, about 48 km per hour, there is practically no armor, and there are problems with accuracy. But the weapon is so fast-firing that it easily penetrates the enemy, drops 12 degrees, from level 5 you will be able to familiarize yourself with the concept of such machines, but it is important to take into account their dynamics, visibility and vertical aiming.
American light tanks World of Tanks.
Video review of M24 Chaffee
When playing LT, pay attention to Chaffee, this is a relic from a bygone era that was previously at the peak of popularity. It has not only excellent dynamics, but also rigid stabilization on the move. It is present in some tier 10 medium tanks. Naturally, the weapon of a light tank is not powerful; a classic shell can penetrate 137 mm of armor, causing 115 units of damage, but the rate of fire is pleasing. You can resist machines from levels 5-7, thus Chaffee will show a unique result, many players earn points on it and enjoy the experience gained for the battle.
