7 Best Passive Scout Tanks in World of Tanks

Here are some solid tank picks for passive scouting. 

AMX 13 90

The AMX 13 90 is one of the best passive scouts, but don't let this deceive you into open combat.

The AMX 13 90 is a Light tank from the French tree with an odd shape, looking more like a Tank Destroyer than an LT. However, this Tier 9 Light is one of the best passive scouts in World of Tanks. Part of the AMX 13 90’s ability to scout is thanks to its Camouflage Values and its 380m View Range.

To make it even more difficult to discover, throw on Camouflage Nets to become nigh impossible to see. Unfortunately, the turret traverse and traversal accuracy is lacking, making it difficult to take advantage of its auto-loading gun when on the move. When you can catch an enemy completely unaware, though, the raw power of the auto-loader should be more than capable of finishing it off.

Don’t try to use the AMX 13 90 to move around and flank, simply exploit its camouflage values and wait for the perfect opportunity to burst down enemy tanks. As with most passive scouts, surviving the first half of a match by spotting and then helping mop up the stragglers in the late-game is your primary goal.
