Fast, lightly armoured but variously armed tanks which are effective at ambushes, reconnaissance and flanking attacks. Their main disadvantages is their light armour and low survivability makes them unsuited for frontline combat and on smaller maps where getting past the enemy is much harder. Most light tanks and some SPGs are best with this strategy.

Tricks and Tactics
Scout tanks are very fast, fairly well armed but poorly armoured. They are most effective at harassing the enemy, particularly when they are able to get past the enemy spearhead and skirmisher tanks and bullying the enemy support and sniper tanks behind the line. They can also perform reconnaissance, marking targets for their team, and can also be good at patrolling and countering the enemy scout tanks.

Cooperation and Countering
Scout tanks work best when they can fight enemies on their own terms. A scout tank player has a great time when they can pester the enemy and run away before the enemy can pester them back. A scout tank's worst fear is when the enemy is expecting them. An alert sniper player or another enemy scout player who can keep up with them makes them unable to use their strategy of light skirmishing and forces them to fight on your terms instead.
