Features[edit | edit source]
- Invisible movement: motion does not reduce camouflage factor.
- HESH: can even penetrate armor with large hit angles.
Player recommendations[edit | edit source]
A powerful, mobile platform, the VFM is an archetypal light tank capable of flanking with its high firepower gun and excellent mobility, causing enough havoc behind enemy lines to allow a large scale MBT push to break through while the enemy is disheveled. Its excellent gun handling and on-the-move accuracy allow it to hit targets from medium range and rapidly disengage, and its armor also allows for protection against smaller auto-cannon fire.
Pros[edit | edit source]
- Good mobility
- Good camouflage and view range
- Frontal protection against autocannon fire
Cons[edit | edit source]

| A light and fast vehicle intended to be air portable, the Vickers is well protected frontally from the majority of autocannon and machinegun fire. Although it has a strong gun, it is completely unsuited for dealing with any anti-tank threats in its role as a scout and troop support vehicle. | |||||||||||

History[edit | edit source]
Designed by Great Britain, this light tank combines a US-built hull with a British turret, offering firepower in an affordable package. Created during the 1980s, the VFM5 was meant to usher in a new generation of British tanks for the export market. After development completed in 1987, it was unable to secure any orders and never went into production.
