New soviet T3 light tank - LTP

I know what you are thinking.

This looks like a malnourished T-50. This may not be far from the truth.

The LTP is going to have 30mm armour all around, 30mm front, 30mm rear and 15/20 sides with 230 hp.

In terms of speed - 45 km forward, 18 backwards at 10 tons with 50 degrees hull traverse and 170 hp engine. Visible gun is the 45mm 20KL which is only found on premium tanks like the BT-SV, T-127 and the Valentine. Its the obvious give away that the LTP won't be in the tech tree, we just don't know how we'd receive it yet.
    I have to agree that it will probably be a reward tank, likely related to battle missions maybe? Or birthday/new years gift? The stats are hardly stellar - the T-127 beats it hands down in terms of protection and firepower...LTP is a bit faster indeed 45kmph compared to 38 kmph and with better traverse speed but T-127 has better power to weight ratio - 16/17 compared to 19.

World of tanks 8.7 MT 25

Well, its coming alright. The long awaited removal and replacement of T50-2 is finally at the gates.

First of all - the replacement - the MT 25 will be tier 6, so don't go comparing it with the Leopard ok?
Crew, XP and everything else will be either compensated or transferred. Oookay so what do we get?
The MT 25 will be heavier, a bit slower on the acceleration - same top speed but the engine has only 50 extra horsepowers. Armour wise we have an improvement - nothing serious, but you never know nowadays.

The top gun remains the same - the 57mm Zys. A buff in RoF is likely, since the tank goes to tier 6. Considering the MM of T-50-2, its previous owners should not feel any issues with the guns. They were facing high tier tanks anyway, where the 57mm barely qualifies for self defence (and setting tiger tanks on fire). At first look the MT 25 seems a bit inferior due to the not so cosmic acceleration, however it might be better at maneuvering and also - we don't know the ground resistance yet. We get an equal tank at worst.
