Manticore Review/Guide, Like Bringing a Knife to a Gun Fight

I review the Manticore, a tier 10 British light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of Karelia and Studzianki battles.

While the Manticore has some fans, I found it to be an enormously limited tank in terms of carry potential due to multiple flaws with its armament. It's the only light tank I've played from tiers 5-10 where my win rate is below 56%. Simply put, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb camo
+ Excellent gun depression (-8)
+ Small profile
- Horribad DPM
- Laughable ammo capacity (20), so you can't blind fire or snapshot much
- Poor gun elevation (+8)
- Very bad hull traverse, turns like a whale
- Highly susceptible to ramming damage (12 metric tons)
- Armor is worthless
- Only 2 crew members, which hampers skill acquisition

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. VStab

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.
