Do you want a fast and agile scout vehicle in War Thunder? Then you should check out the M8 LAC light tank. This American armored car is a special gift vehicle that you can get from some events. It was added in Update 1.73 "Vive la France" for War Thunder's 5th birthday. It was also a reward of the "10 rare vehicles" event for War Thunder's 10th birthday in 2022.
The M8 LAC is based on the M8 Greyhound. It was a popular recon vehicle by the US and its allies in World War II. It has a 37 mm cannon that can punch through most enemy tanks at its rank. It also has a .50 cal machine gun that can rip apart lightly armored targets and aircraft. The M8 LAC is super fast. It can go up to 101 km/h in arcade mode and 91 km/h in realistic mode. It is one of the fastest vehicles in the game π. It also has eight forward gears and two reverse gears. That means it can speed up and turn quickly.
But the M8 LAC also has some problems. Its armor is very thin and can only stop rifle-caliber machine gun fire. It also has an open-top turret which lets the crew get hit by artillery and aerial attacks π±. The M8 LAC can be easily knocked out by a single AP shell because of overpressure. The crew is also very tight and close together so any hit to the center of the vehicle can kill them all π’. The M8 LAC also does not do well on rough terrain because its wheels are not good for off-road driving.
The M8 LAC is best used as a scout and flanker. You can use its speed and mobility to spot enemies and hit them from unexpected angles π. You can also use its .50 cal machine gun to annoy enemy aircraft and light tanks π. The M8 LAC should avoid direct fights with enemy tanks because it cannot take much damage π¬. It should also watch out for enemy artillery and aircraft because they can easily destroy it π.
The M8 LAC is a fun and challenging vehicle to play in War Thunder. It is different from the typical tank and needs more skill and awareness to survive and succeed π. If you want a fast and furious scout vehicle you should try the M8 LAC π.
