I review the SP1C, a tier 7 German light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with a replay of a tier 8 Winterberg battle.

Stat line: Ave Tanker, 4.2k damage, 4 kills, 3 spots, 100 defense points

In this guide, I discuss the unique playstyle of the SPIC due to its limited active scouting capability and its superb 3-shell autoloader.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Excellent silver AP penetration (180)
+ Excellent burst damage (720 in 6 seconds)
+ Excellent gun depression (-10)
+ Very manageable clip reload time (~17 sec) with Rammer equipped
+ Solid gun handling for an autoloader
+ Good top speed
- Lacks acceleration / agility to actively scout safely
- Paper thin armor, very susceptible to overmatch and HE damage
- Prone to ramming damage due to extremely light weight
- Slow AP shell velocity

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. Rammer
3. Vents

Per VBAddict, most Unicums select Vents over VStab as the 3rd equipment, probably due to the 3-sec intra-clip reload, decent gun handling (for an autoloader), and the fact that as a light tank you should often have the 1st-shot advantage. I've tried both and favor Vents.

In this battle I ran with double repair kits, but after getting set on fire 4 times in 80 battles, I switched one of those kits to a fire extinguisher.

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
