T71 DA Review/Guide, Managing a Poor Team Deployment

Описание: I review the T71 DA, a tier 7 American light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 8 Fisherman's Bay and Airfield battles.

Stat line: Ace Tanker, 3k damage, 2k spotting damage, 4 kills

I picked up the T71 DA for the first time with patch 9.18. It combines good scouting ability with an excellent autoloader. The playstyle fits me like a glove and it's one of my favorite tanks in the game!

Strengths and Weaknesses
Very manageable clip reload of ~19 seconds
Excellent burst damage (900 in 10 seconds)
Excellent view range (390)
Excellent shell velocity (1219 m/s)
Good acceleration and speed
Good gun depression (-7) for an autoloader
Slightly tall profile
Squishy
Below average accuracy (0.39 base)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Vents

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.
