Since the introduction of the British Tank Tech Tree in War Thunder we have had access to many major British tanks from the interwar period all the way to the modern day. However one type of tank we are missing is the British light tanks, especially those from the Cold War Era.<br /><br />Recentely however we got some indications that work is underway to add British Cold War light tanks to War Thunder, albeit without any firm dates or confirmations on exact vehicles.<br /><br />So join me today as we take a look at British Light Tanks that could be added to War Thunder, how I think they will play in game and why I think it has taken so long for Gaijin to add them to War Thunder.<br /><br />Intro: 00:00<br />British Cold War Light Tanks: 00:58<br />Why they haven't been added: 11:35<br />Conclusion: 13:12<br /><br />British light tanks covered in this episode<br />FV 101 Scorpion<br />FV 101 Scorpion 90<br />FV 107 Scimitar<br />Sabre<br />FV 432/30<br /><br />Information sources<br />Foss, C., & Dunstan, S.
