About
Despite being a light tank, its large size and lack of armor mean it is best played more like a medium tank, using its good mobility and view range to its advantage while avoiding direct combat. The LTC 2 is a non-premium vehicle, and there is a similar premium version called the ATAC 2 available on the Russian server.
- Tier and Class: It is a Tier X Japanese sniper tank destroyer.
- Firepower: 105 mm gun with gun cooling.
- Armor and Role: paper hull and poorly armored turret. Tank should stick to long-range engagements.
| Category | Characteristic | Value / Detail (Approximate) | Notes |
| Class | Vehicle Type | Wheeled Tank Destroyer | First wheeled TD in the game. |
| Gun Mechanic | Double Aiming System | Allows for a 5-second “cooling” period to achieve maximum precision. | Rewards patient, fixed-position sniping. |
| Gun Caliber | Caliber | 105 mm | Low caliber means overmatching is going to be hard. |
| Alpha Damage | Damage per Shot | ~390 HP | Moderate for a Tier X TD. |
| Reload Time | Base Reload | ~7.1 seconds | Time between shots if ignoring the cooling mechanic. |
| Cooled Accuracy | Dispersion | ~0.21 m at 100m | Exceptionally high accuracy after gun cooling. |
| Base Accuracy | Standard Dispersion | ~0.32 m at 100m | Good standard accuracy without cooling. |
| Gun Depression | Depression Angle | 10 degrees | Excellent for hull-down positioning. |
| Top Speed | Max Forward Speed | ~39 km/h | Slow for a wheeled vehicle; closer to a medium tank’s speed. |
| Specific Power | Horsepower-to-Weight | ~24 hp/t | Provides good acceleration and maneuverability despite the low top speed. |
| Armor | Protection Level | Lousy / Paper | Relies on concealment and distance, not armor, to survive. |
| View Range | Base View Range | ~380 m | Below average for a high-tier vehicle, often requiring allied spotting. |
Playstyle Notes
The Ashigaru is poised to be a unique Tier X vehicle, blending the surgical accuracy of a Japanese TD with the quick-repositioning potential of a wheeled chassis. It functions best as a second-line sniper that uses its speed to quickly establish a powerful firing position and exploit the unique gun-cooling mechanic for devastating, highly-accurate strikes.
