Role of Light tanks
Light tanks are the team's eyes and ears. Features of tactical and technical characteristics make LT the best scouts. A decent view makes it possible to detect the enemy at a great distance. Good dynamics allows you to take key positions at the beginning of the battle or maneuver, avoiding enemy shots. Excellent camouflage will allow, illuminating the enemy to remain invisible for a longer time, while allies will inflict damage on enemy vehicles in your spotlight.

Scouting
Light in World of Tanks - enemy detection. This is one of the most important aspects of the game, which, unfortunately, many players do not pay enough attention to. It's easy to learn how to tank on heavily armored vehicles or hit the enemy, but not everyone can provide the team with competent lighting and support it throughout the battle.
Scouting in the game is divided into passive and active.
