Hangar Modules tree Battle tiers Equipment Consumables Tank description Camouflages

Crew:

Commander
Radio Operator
Driver
Gunner
Loader

Advantages:

Both guns are excellent: 3 pdr for accuracy and 6 pdr for raw power (The HE Shells can practically wipe out all tier Is).
Fairly high DPM for a tier I tank
Has a full 5 man crew (Most others in its class have 2-3).
Highest HP pool of tier I.
Tracks are a little stronger than the hull and can (very rarely) absorb a shot

Disadvantages:

Absolutely ridiculous size (Some heavies have a higher camo rating!).
Armor can be penetrated by a pellet gun (Autocannons are instant death).
Very sluggish, can''t get out of its own way.
3 pdr has a longer aim time than the 6 pdr and slow shell velocity.
Can no longer mount the dreaded 15mm BESA Machinegun.

Tank description:

The Vickers Medium Mk. I is a British tier 1 medium tank.In 1921, Vickers-Armstrong developed a project for the Vickers Light Tank. The 1923–1924 trials showed that the tank was ready for mass production. In 1924, the vehicle was renamed the Vickers Medium Tank Mk. I. The same year, a total of 30 vehicles were produced and entered service. Another 50 vehicles of the Mk. IA modification were manufactured later. The Vickers Medium Tank remained in service until 1938.The Vickers Medium Mk. I is the only Tier 1 medium tank. Both of its guns are very good for tier 1, but unfortunately it has severe limitations in many other respects. It has the worst armour of any tier 1, it is very slow, and it is a medium tank so it does not keep its camo bonus while moving making it easy to detect. It''s best not engage in close quarters using the Medium I because tanks with auto cannons or machine guns will easily do full damage and destroy you very quickly. It is recommended to try and provide medium range support, as the top gun''s damage is devastating (70 points average) and for a tier 1 it is somewhat accurate (0.52 at 100m).The Vickers Medium Mk. I marks the end of its British medium line.
