World of Tanks 2.4 assigns three roles to every light tank

What happened

Wargaming activated the Update 2.4 light-tank role system.

The accompanying page explains the three roles, team limits and compensation behavior for replaced modifications.

The practical change: Check your vehicle's new role and any reset Field Modifications before taking the pre-update setup back into battle.

What is confirmed

• The three roles are Scout, Support and Versatile.
• The matchmaker attempts to pair comparable light-tank roles.
• Tier VII and above battles are limited to two light tanks per team.
• Affected replaced or changed Field Modifications reset with full credit compensation.

What this means for players

A familiar vehicle may now meet a more comparable opposing role.

Players should recheck reset modification choices before assuming their prior loadout is intact.

What is still unconfirmed

Role labels do not establish a universal tier list or guarantee perfectly mirrored teams in every queue.

What to do next

1. 01
   Open the vehicle's role and Field Modification panel.
2. 02
   Reapply any reset choices after reading the current effects.
3. 03
   Judge balance with post-update matches rather than old results.
