With the addition of Winter Himmelsdorf, consider winter camouflage on all tier 1 tanks now. Please note the Map Restrictions for Tier 1 tanks if you consider purchasing a camouflage skin/paint job for this tank, only summer maps are ever seen. While binos are even better, they are overkill in most situations as the maps wont allow straight line sight that far, so optics are preferable if you are willing to spend 500K credits on such a low tier. Although this may be overkill for a tier I, coated optics turn this tank into one of the best scouts in this tier, with a view range of ~341m (excluding perks ect), being just under another tier I tank with binos mounted and above most if not all tier2 tanks without them using equipment. This allows it to spot enemy tanks and get its shot off first. One of the Leichttraktor's best features is its view range, which with the upgraded turret is 30 m more than any other Tier 1 tank. The engine is located at the front, meaning that it is extremely easy to knock it out from a frontal hit, and while fires do happen, they don't seem all that common to bother bringing a fire extinguisher unless one is truly competitive. The only main weakness of the Leichttraktor is its huge front crew hatches, which is nearly unprotected and can be easily hit by enemy fire. However, this can be quickly upgraded to an 85 and 100 horsepower engine, giving it a large boost in speed and taking it up to par with its Tier 1 counterparts. Stock, it is equipped with an underpowered 50 horsepower engine, making the tank slow and unwieldy. Sidescraping is perhaps very good in this tank, and the only spot that can be reliably penetrated when sidescraping is the turret and the top hatch (if it is even exposed). Instead, it is generally better to reverse the tank to take a peek around a corner. In exchange, the Leichttraktor generally should not drive forwards around, corners, as it allows the enemy to shoot the tank before it is capable of responding, or worse, detracking it, leaving it helpless. At Tier 1, armor is generally not something to be relied on, although the Leichttraktor's rear-mounted turret allows it to make use of reverse-angling to increase the chance of bouncing incoming shots. The armor is in between the thickness of the MS-1 and T1 Cunningham, thick enough to bounce shots and yet light enough to keep the tank at a weight of 7 tons. The Breda is the best of the three for supression, but suffers at peekaboo due to the very long firing time especially when shooting all 12 rounds, best weapon for mid range shooting and more reliable penetration then the KwK. Only use the KwK 38 in a more close range playstyle, peek out, unload the clip, then hide during the reload.
Still, being nowhere near as agile as the T1, it makes more sense to stick with the 37mm gun as an all rounder, allowing very good sniping abilities, and still allowing some urban combat if needed. Overall the breda is more useful in most situations as an autocannon, but the KwK 38 does have much better peekaboo potential and is much better if one must engage at longer ranges. The breda has much faster reload and DPM as well as some more penetration, but has worse soft stats (it has very bad run and gun accuracy, it takes a while to empty the entire clip unlike the KwK which gets fired in a split second, and has considerably worse accuracy due to only the first shot per burst being fairly accurate). One thing to note when using the KwK 38, is the much improved burst damage. The Breda is generally superior to the KwK 38, with a better rate-of-fire, accuracy, penetration, and only negligibly worse aim time. It remains a viable option even after the 2 cm Breda and 2 cm KwK 38 L/55 autocannons have been unlocked. The Leichttraktor boasts easily the best stock gun of all the Tier 1 tanks in the form of the 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/46.5, which has excellent penetration, superb aim time and rate-of-fire, and good accuracy for a Tier 1 tank. Rear-mounted turret creates some peculiarities in handling and fighting.The 2 cm Breda has good reload, penetration, and damage.The stock 3.7 cm KwK 36 L/46.5 gun has excellent penetration, accuracy, damage and aim time.Second most hit points of any Tier 1 tank.
