Leichttraktor

The Leichttraktor is a Tier I German Light Tank.

This vehicle was produced from 1930 to 1934. Four prototypes with different armament, crew, weight and suspension features were manufactured.

The first German tank that is available to a player, the Leichttraktor starts with an underpowered 50 horse-power engine and the 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/46.5, although these modules can be quickly upgraded. This vehicle has adequate armor and characteristics making it the best starting tank. The tank was nicknamed the "LolTraktor" due to fan-made comic series.

This tank leads on through research to the Pz. Kpfw. 35 (t), the Pz. Kpfw. I, the Panzerjäger I, and the G.Pz. Mk. VI (e).

Personal Review
The Leichttraktor is actually a very good tank at tier I, many people playing the tank will simply be playing it to progress through to the next tanks in each line, however, with a skilled tanker behind the wheel, this is probably to best tier I tank out there. The vastly higher view range on the upgraded turret means that in most games you will already have gotten 2-3 shots into someone before they even spot you. With Coated Optics and/or Binocular Telescope (I recommend using both for ultimate pub-stomping) you can be spotting enemies at nearly twice their view range, and the quick firing non-auto cannon gun, you can rip you enemies apart at long ranges.

All in all the best tank at tier I, making it a pleasant grind for people wanting to progress quickly, and an awesome little party tank for people wanting to have some fun low tier games from time to time.

Pros

 * High hit points for tier I
 * Very good traverse speed
 * Very good stock 37 mm gun
 * The best view range on all tier I tanks
 * Unless consumables are used this tank with the stock has 100% profit margin
 * Covered tracks allow for easy side scraping

Cons

 * Large silhouette
 * Somewhat poor damage
 * Front-mounted engine
