M42 Duster
- Mode: World War II
- Nation: U.S.A.
- Tier: VII
- Class: Light Tank
From the battlefields of history to the ones in the game, the American Tier VII M42 Duster Light Tank gives you unbelievably high DPM values. Based on a real-life tank, the M42 Duster mounts two Bofors 40mm autocannons on an M41 Walker Bulldog chassis. The result: an aggressive active scout with the firepower to match.
Gameplay Tips
Hit the gas and fire away! The M42 Duster has excellent top speed and acceleration. Combine those traits with its punishing autocannon to become a massive headache for your opponents by weakening them before they reach the frontlines. You also won’t find a better vehicle to hunt down tank destroyers and artillery, but you’d better target lone tanks to make the most of this vehicle’s capabilities.
- Play fast and use your cruise control to zoom across the battlefield.
- Use reload-focused Equipment to amp up your autocannon.
- Execute circles of death or engage in hit-and-run tactics.

M163 VADS
- Mode: Cold War
- Affiliation: Western Alliance
- Era: Escalation (Era 2)
- Class: Light Tank
In real life, the M163 VADS Escalation Era (Era 2) Western Alliance Light Tank was originally created to replace the M42 as an anti-aircraft vehicle. And while, technically, there are no planes to shoot in the game, you can still put its six-barreled 20mm rotary autocannon to good use in your Cold War battles.
Gameplay Tips
Deploy it as a classic, damage-focused Cold War light tank. The M163 VADS’s rotary autocannon can fire for approximately six seconds before it starts overheating, so short bursts are the best way to keep the damage flow going. This vehicle’s lightly armored, so take cover while assisting the frontline and use your mobility to relocate rather than give chase.
