Light tanks

Obviously you haven't used higher level TB....

maybe but stupid in this game you only need light tank fast and strong 10 light tank destroy my 5 mediums . But medium have stronger armor and gun on light tank cant hurt in real life medium tank , light tank is so fast in this game only need to build light tank and nothing more . Airplanes and rest of the tanks no need and they much exspensive and slow . In my game light tank take my 20 provinces for 10 hours , just 12 , 3 brigades with 4 tanks .

Wow, have you even completed a single game? LT get decimated by MT when you use the MT correctly. Besides, you can do a lot of hurt to bigger tanks when are in a fast, maneuverable one and can get to its backside.

Ok then why USa and another countries dont build light tanks now ? Or why they produce fighters and bombers ? How 1 country can win war witouth airplanes ?

I just say tanks witouth air suport is nothing and they cant win the war or advance .

What? You are making no sense. First you say planes are useless in this game and then you say planes are really good.

Light tank in ww2 u can destroy with a single hand granate .

2. You can take out a super heavy tank with a single grenade. Through it in through the commanders hatch.

Good.

CoD nerd.

what???? I've found TBs to be the best unit in the game for destroying other units.

Well it was five years ago, quite some stuff changed since then

Lol, not true. Look at any modern MBT or lots of WWII era and beyond medium tanks. Also, most tanks have incredibly weak rear armour which can be destroyed with a tiny gun. Also, the tanks gun be using stuff like wolfram core shells and sabot rounds.

We are not allowed to swear and you can be reported for that. Light tanks are very fast and commonly small. These make them very hard to hit. Besides, the plane could be dropping an armour piercing bomb and we should all know those things are not very explosive.

HEATs don’t work in the way APs does. Upon intact, HEATs explode(does not go through armor), produce extremely high temperatures and pressure, make a big hole on the armor and the hot metal pieces produced in the blast injures or kills the crew. APs simply penetrate(goes through) the armor using its relatively high muzzle velocity and high impact angle.

Attached please find an illustrated explanation to impact angle.

AND tactical bombers are made to anti infantry, they are not that well suited for the job to destroy panzers than attack bombers. Tanks could have high speeds along with a big gun and heavy armor, if the motor and the weight-balancing features are excellent.

In the WW2 era, most anti-armor attack bombers didn't actually use bombs, but either autocannon (Stuka and Yak versions) or missiles (Typhoon). The reason is that you need high impact velocities to penetrate armor, and the mere pull of gravity of a bomb simply isn't enough. Sure you can make a big boom with a HE bomb, but that will just give the tank crew an ear malfunction or a headache - the armor simply deflects the blast of a "plain" explosion, even when exploding right on top of it. The point of an armor-piercing round is to penetrate the armor and THEN explode - cause for an explosion INSIDE the narrow confines of a tank hull you only need a fraction of the explosive power to kill the crew. But to penetrate the armor, your absolute number one priority is velocity.

This also means that such a targeted application of cannon and rocket means you need less weight per round, so you can carry more ammunition per plane.

For soft targets (which includes infantry, trucks/jeeps, stone buildings, etc), high explosives is of course the better choice - with a lack of protective armor, the bigger the boom, the better.

This same difference can be seen in the guns category - soft target howitzers, mortars, and field guns with a low muzzle velocity (allowing an arced fire trajectory and long distance), and specialized AT guns with a high muzzle velocity (and flat trajectories and short range).
