The T7 Combat Car is an Tier II American Premium Light Tank. It has a small profile and makes an excellent scout due to its high speed and has a powerful autoloader that can devastate paper-thin enemies to shreds.
History[]
Light wheeled caterpillar vehicle with machineguns, developed for the U.S. cavalry. The trials of the first prototype started in April 1937 and continued until 1939. However, the T7 was discontinued in favor of track-type vehicles.
Gameplay[]
The T7 was a gift tank given to all players (who registered before patch 8.9) to commemorate World of Tanks receiving the 2013 Golden Joystick award. It was also given to players who logged in for 30 days during the 2015 Login Bonus event. The machine-gun-armed T7 trades thin armor, poor penetration, and long clip load time for great speed and the ability to do massive burst damage in a short amount of time. Best when played as a support tank, the T7 is a dangerous flanker and ambusher. It has a 25 autoloader round dealing 8 damage per shot and has medicrole penetration but has a rather slow speed and slightly big profile. It costs 750 gold, which is affordable for most players and makes a fun tank to play.
