I review the Manticore, a tier 10 British light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of Karelia and Studzianki battles.
While the Manticore has some fans, I found it to be an enormously limited tank in terms of carry potential due to multiple flaws with its armament. It's the only light tank I've played from tiers 5-10 where my win rate is below 56%. Simply put, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Superb camo
Excellent gun depression (-8)
Small profile
Horribad DPM
Laughable ammo capacity (20), so you can't blind fire or snapshot much
Poor gun elevation (+8)
Very bad hull traverse, turns like a whale
Highly susceptible to ramming damage (12 metric tons)
Armor is worthless
Only 2 crew members, which hampers skill acquisition
Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. VStab
This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
