Comparatively, the T7 has more burst damage per clip at 400 average hitpoints, but an even longer clip reload time of 24 seconds. The T7's and VIC's machine guns both have large clips with high burst damage, poor penetration, and long reload times. VIC was given to players only a few months after the T7 Combat Car, and since both feature similar machinegun armaments, the two are often referred to together. One way to protect the front of the tank is to reverse around corners and only expose the rear of the tank, though this can making flanking or ambushing maneuvers slower and more difficult. This means that the VIC is prone to engine fires when it takes hits from the front.
The VIC also has an atypical configuration with its engine in the front and turret in the back. Though it's very light and has a high top speed, the VIC's 88hp engine isn't powerful enough to give it the acceleration of other light tanks. Its armor is very thin and incapable of protecting it even from other small machineguns. The VIC doesn't have many strong points aside from its great burst damage and good view range. Fortunately, the VIC benefits from a good 300m viewrange which lets it spot and track tanks that are beyond the 15mm gun's effective range. The 15mm gun, like most small-caliber autocannons, is only effective at short to medium range. Though it can do a great amount of damage in quick bursts, the VIC takes roughly 18 seconds to reload its clip between them. The VIC's machine gun dishes out this damage in just under 5.5 seconds, which makes it capable of killing two tier II enemy tanks with one clip. Though the 15mm BESA machine gun may lack the penetration necessary to damage well armored targets ( T18s and H35s are almost completely immune to it), it has a 40 round belt with an average potential damage of 360 hitpoints. VIC is a one-trick pony - its greatest strength comes in the form of its armament.
