▲LTS-85
Hello World of Tanks players, the S-series light tanks in the game are designed to be extraordinary, they can not only "light up" like other light tanks, but also use their own artillery and armor to fight their peers fiercely. In the recent overtest, a new S-series VIII light tank LTS-85 was added, its firepower is quite good, compared to the previously added S-series light tank has many advantages, this article will introduce its data for you.
Tank fire
▲ LTS-85's 100mm caliber gun
Generally speaking, light tanks are not focused on firepower, even S-series light tanks will not choose to be equipped with a particularly powerful main gun, but this LTS-85 is quite unusual. It uses a 100 mm caliber gun, which reaches the level of a light tank of the IX class. The LTS-85 has an average damage of 300 points per armor-piercing shell, which is an advantage over the average damage of most light tank guns in Tier VIII, and the LTS-85 has an average penetration depth of 181/250 mm armor-piercing shells, which is even comparable to some medium-sized tanks in the same class, and has a great advantage over light tanks.
▲ Fire data of the LTS-85
In addition, the LTS-85 has a high-explosive shell with an average penetration depth of 50mm and 400 points of damage per shot, which is very useful against the same class light tan in real combat. However, the tank's reload speed is somewhat low, taking 10.9 seconds to reload a shell, which is significantly lower than that of light tanks in its class. In terms of gun control, this main gun of the LTS-85 has an accuracy of 0.42 per 100 meters, which is obviously not suitable for long-range combat. And the aiming time of 2.3 seconds is also a bit long. The LTS-85 has a depression angle of -7°, which makes it not a worry in rough terrain, and the 20° gun elevation angle and 40 rounds of ammunition are more than enough.
Tank survivability with visibility
▲ Survivability data of LTS-85
As a Tier VIII light tank, defense is clearly not the LTS-85's strong point. It currently has 1150 HP and is tied for first place with the Hwk30 in Tier VIII light tanks, which is pretty good. However, the frontal armor thickness of the turret of the tank is only 80 mm, and the thickness of the frontal armor of the hull is only 40 mm, and it is clear that it is definitely not a good idea to confront the enemy head-on. The LTS-85's 30mm hull side armor is also very dangerous, and if you encounter a tank with a higher penetration and high explosive shell such as the 07RH main battle plan, it will be destroyed in seconds. Fortunately, the LTS-85 has a basic field of view of 390 meters, which can still help it detect the enemy in advance. However, the concealment value of the tank is not yet known.
Tank mobility
▲Maneuverability data of LTS-85
The LTS-85, like many S-series light tanks, weighs a relatively high weight, reaching 24 tons, which is even similar to some medium-sized tanks. Fortunately, thanks to the 700 hp engine power, the LTS-85 has a unit power of 29.2 hp/ton, which is not the top of the Tier VIII light tank, but it is completely adequate. The tank's 65 km/h forward speed and 23 km/h reverse speed are also completely sufficient in actual combat, and there is no need to worry about not being able to catch up with the enemy or unable to evacuate in time. The turret and hull rotation speed of the tank are also good, and after the corresponding mobility upgrade, the LTS-85 will be more powerful. In addition, the LTS-85 has a crew of 3, which is the same configuration as some S-series light tanks.
Comparison with tanks of the same class

From the current data, the LTS-85 is a very unique S-series light tank, its main gun will provide it with many advantages in battle, but the loading speed and gun control need players to adapt more, the tank should focus on support rather than active reconnaissance. The car is still being tested, and the data is subject to change.
