Fun fact about the squall, it’s just the tier 9 with all the stock components moved to tier 8

[BATTLESTAR]

As someone who hasn't played the tech tree Czech LTs, I found this to be surprisingly fun.

[FallRise_]

Love my Squall! Clipping a Bourrasque with HE.. Makes me way to happy

[Gentle_Ghost_Hunter]

this seems like a pretty good credit maker from the shell cost point. all shells are cheap so even if you only load the "premium" ammo you'll make credits

[GenetiX]

I really enjoy playing this thing. Just wish it had a bit more mobility.

[brealistic]

I have been killing tons of these tanks.😆

[VioletGiraffe]

Just like you said, mister QB. This was the one tank I did not want from the boxes, and now that I got it - it's the one I want to play the most. And I'm not a good player! And I never played any CZ lights before!

[oldewolfe]

This is the one I was Looking Forward to, I haven't started the Grind of the Czech Lights, but I wanted to see what the Line felt Like... I liked the Overwhelming Firepower Mode, so making the Gun Work isn't as much the Issue as finding the Rythm of the Tank, doesn't Hurt that I was a Vulcan Gunner in the Army...

My First Build was aimed at making the Gun more Accurate at Range (Optics, Stabilizer, and Bounty Aiming), the 2nd Build was Aimed at trying to take what it does Naturally and try to Improve the Mobility while trying to Maintain some of the Gun Handling (Vents, Stabilizer, and Exp Mobility), the Current Build is just a For Giggles Build to see what Happens (Vents, Exp Fire Control, and Exp Mobility)... So far, none have been BAD, but None have been Outstanding Either, I Attribute most of that to the Platform itself more than anything, it Feels more like a Stealth Medium than a True Scouting Light Tank...

[Amrknu]

It's a light tank similar to the AMX 13 57, just for having fun!
It's not for trying the camo scenarios in the smallest bush like the ELC or trying to fit in the same pattern as other LT's. It's a tank for bombing around, causing chaos and not feeling bad if you screw up

[erikdrasar]

I still think they should buff the top speed of all the Czech light tanks.

4:22 "You should always angle at 45 degrees" angles at 22.9 degrees

[rishabhrekhi]

Easiest way to do pen missions for campaigns too.

[vosterhh]

It deletes filthy EBRs, lights, TDs and arty plus limping carcasses with a nice brrrt. What else can you want from WG for Xmas?

[zeroyuki]

About the issue of low WR, I think the main problem is that it's just utterly useless on actual 'scouting' maps. Outside of a more radical change, I think they can give them at least +10 view range (380 VR for tier 9 for example is just utter trash) so they could compete a bit better at early game on open maps.

If you're considering it WG, give the same to some Chinese LTs while you're at it.

[mrmcharg]

I don't get all the squall hate - I'm a below average player with just under 1000 WN8 but in the squall (20-something games) I'm getting 2000 WN8 and 57% winrate. For me the tank really just clicks. I play it like a bourrasque with a 'worse' (depends on the range) gun, and it just works.

[animalyze]

I like these tanks, they blow up nice and spectacularly when I lob a few Shells from the M53/55, XM is another beloved explosion waiting to happen. These 2 plus the Contradictious have gotten me quite a few battle awards enough to complete some long awaited campaign missions.

[johnfarscape]

I love playing this, I just wish it was a medium, so I don't feel like I'm putting my team at a disadvantage on spotting maps, as I'm always getting matched against an even 90.

[cosmo]

if this thing had 5/10 km/h more top speed, the XM57 had alot less pen, and the toro had a tiny bit faster reload, i think WG wouldve absolutely nailed this years lootbox tanks.

[Tenacitybrit]

I was a little sceptical about this tank when I first got in the boxes, but in my first game, I managed to delete a charioteer from full health in a matter of seconds, I was bloody sold. XD

8:22 "They've got great camo"

Immediately gets spotted lmao
