BT-7 upgrade

[Mobhack]

(Moved to TO&E thread)

I use the T-60 light tank as a light infantry support tank.
- It has a 20mm autocannon, and a decent ammo supply for it
- 20mm autocannon produces HE blast effect in the surrounding hexes (like 75mm guns)
So its an extremely good grunt basher, especially if those grunts are beside other ones!

Otherwise the M3 light has more MG's to produce more HE effect in the target hex, and it has marginally better AT effect.

T-50 has a very good 57mm gun for AT effect, but those things were rarer than hen's teeth.

Bt-7 actually served till the end of the war, in the Far East where they were still capable vs Japanese armour.
If you want anti-infantry effect, then you could change the BT-7 to BT7a artillery tanks, which have 76mm howitzers and a decent number of HE shots.

All of them need to be kept away from enemy ATG and tanks, of course.

Thanks Andy! I'll check out the T-60 and I didn't know that the BT-7 served throughout the war either.
