Spähpanzer Ru 251
Rounding off the list is the Spähpanzer Ru 251, a German Tier 9 Light tank that can fit into the active scout or the passive scout role with ease. Players who look to the active scout strategy for a fun and dynamic experience will enjoy what the Spähpanzer Ru 251 has to offer.
While its maximum speed has been decreased to 70km/h, the Spähpanzer Ru 251 is still more than capable of zooming around the map. Having a base View Range of 410 m, the Spähpanzer Ru 251 is an absolute monster when it comes to spotting enemy vehicles. Pilots can boost this View Range up further through proper crew training and knowing what equipment to buy for each tank type.
After all your teammates are in position and the enemies are pretty much spotted, the Spähpanzer Ru 251 can lean into its high DPM and really put the hurt on some enemy vehicles. Regardless of what ammo type you choose to load, the Spähpanzer Ru 251’s main (and only) gun will be able to assist your allies—even the AP rounds offer 215 mm of penetration.
Scouting is still finding its legs after the recent changes, but this doesn’t mean pilots should avoid it altogether. Active scouting is a thrilling and pulse-racing experience, surfing along ridges and making hit-and-run attacks on enemies. Players keen to try their hand at active scouting would do well to try out any of these tanks. Let us know in the comments what active scout you think we should add to the list!
