The Alecto is a British tier 4 tank destroyer.
Tank destroyer, developed from 1944–1945 on the basis of the Tetrarch light tank. The project was canceled when WWII ended.
The Alecto was based on the Mk VIII Harry Hopkins light tank which was intended to succeed the Tetrarch.
The Alecto is closer to its tier 2 predecessor, the Universal Carrier 2-pdr, than the Valentine AT. This will likely come as a shock to newer players who have grown used to the Valentine AT's ponderous and resilient nature.
The Alecto has a fast top speed of 50km/h, good acceleration and an average shell damage of nearly double its contemporaries. It pays for this with practically non-existent armor: 10mm all-around. The open-top hull and paper-thin armor make the Alecto very vulnerable to HE and SPG shells. This TD is perhaps the definition of "Glass Cannon".
It is speedy and maneuverable and boasts high damage output with extremely low profile. It's most effective harassing and relocating to hit enemies in their soft sides. The play style is similar to the ELC AMX and the M18 Hellcat; if you have had experience with those tanks you will know to avoid attracting attention while dishing out large amounts of damage.
The Alecto marks the end of its British tank destroyer line.
