I review the T71 DA, a tier 7 American light tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with replays of tier 8 Fisherman's Bay and Airfield battles.

Stat line: Ace Tanker, 3k damage, 2k spotting damage, 4 kills

I picked up the T71 DA for the first time with patch 9.18. It combines good scouting ability with an excellent autoloader. The playstyle fits me like a glove and it's one of my favorite tanks in the game!

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Very manageable clip reload of ~19 seconds
+ Excellent burst damage (900 in 10 seconds)
+ Excellent view range (390)
+ Excellent shell velocity (1219 m/s)
+ Good acceleration and speed
+ Good gun depression (-7) for an autoloader
- Slightly tall profile
- Squishy
- Below average accuracy (0.39 base)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Vents

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.
