Re: [Nutaku] Armor Blitz
Try to equip your LTs with items who give damage and attack speed.... They have the lowest damage and highest attack speed. Because items boost attack speed by percent and damage by value, they can gain a LOT from them. This makes LTs with the right items the tanks who can have by far the highest DPS. Most of my LTs have a DPS of around 150 while most other tanks have less than 100.
They also usually only use up 3 points so you can set them up faster than most other tanks.
They dies pretty easy, so they are pretty much a glass cannon, though.
Seriously? Less that 100 Deeps? I'm just north of Laperm right now and my trinkets are both unoptimized(WAY too many 2* for my liking but eugh bad RNG be bad) as well as only lv6-8 on average. I replace tanks every time a more shiny one rolls around and ONLY my Heavies, artillery pieces and my sole LT have < 100 dps.
Not to mention, Light tanks have several big disadvantages when used as raw damage dealers, at least from what I've experienced.
Both LTs and TDs are fairly fragile, that's true.
LTs are FAST, TDs are not. This means that if you're blocked by static enemies or a small engagement your LTs will zoom ahead and get blown up.
Meanwhile your TDs lumber behind your heavies/mediums and stay nice&safe.
Light tanks have range comparable to mediums. That means they get to the front to fire. It does mean they're less prone to firing into a pillbox to the side, but also means they're IN FRONT. Combined with previously mentioned speed bonus... Your TDs(And artillery, for that matter) fire from the back, safe from both splash damage and being targeted first.
Most light tanks don't have an ability that boosts DPS, some even have the highly detrimental speed bonus which is more of a liability than a boon at any time except when sending reinforcements to your deathball.
Not saying that using light tanks as damage dealers is bad or doesn't work, just that for what I've seen thus far FOR ME they don't work out and perform so underwhelming that there's no place for them in my roster.
