Spähpanzer Ru 251
Finally, rounding off our list is the Spähpanzer Ru 251, an excellent choice for a player looking to carry their passive scout talent all the way to Tier 9. This is also one of the few tanks in World of Tanks that excels at both passive scouting and active scouting.
Sporting a 410m View Range, the Spähpanzer Ru 251 has no trouble whatsoever at spotting enemy vehicles, and thanks to its speed, it can relocate easily. However, this speed should be used to relocate or get from point A to B quickly.
Staying out in the open for too long will spell a quick death for the Ru 251, as it has outlandishly thin armor. Lean heavily into the scouting potential of the Spähpanzer Ru 251, as you'll want to ensure you are never seen. In the event you are seen, it's best to relocate, then punish the enemy later on.
Surprisingly, the Spähpanzer Ru 251 has an excellent gun that boasts great penetration values and DPM, so remain a passive scout for as long as possible and then brutalize the enemy.
Despite the fact scouting has become a bit unclear and a boiling pot of uncertainty, there are still valid scouting tanks out there. Players looking for a slower-paced scouting experience should consider using these passive scout tanks. Let us know in the comments what passive scout you think we should add to the list!
