Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good maneuverability
- Good turret traverse speed
- Good gun selection
- Can mount the top gun without researching the top turret.
- Higher DPM than the AMX CDC with the top 8.8cm
Cons:
- Very large profile
- Very weak armor
- Prone to module damage and crew death
- Bad accuracy at long range
- Horrible stock grind
Performance
The TVP VTU does not only look like the Skoda T 40 premium, it feels the same way. It is a fast tank with a high profile. You get to chose either a 8.8 cm gun with high DPM or a 10.5 cm with a higher alpha. The 8.8 cm gun is superior in every respect except for Alpha damage. The guns fire low velocity shells and therefore making it hard to fire at long range. In order to hit the target with more consistency, you should avoid firing before the reticle is fully aimed. The TVP VTU has everything it needs to be a good tank except one crucial thing : the ability to survive a hit. The tank has a very thin armor, which wouldn't be such an issue if the modules weren't so fragile. While driving this tank, you can expect a module to break or a crew injury on every hit. Since the tank is very tall and boxy, it is also very hard to hide in cover. While driving this tank, you should stay as far as you can from the front line, but close enough so that your gun firing arc doesn't become too much of an issue. The Czech tier VIII grind is very painful, but the IX and X are definitely worth it. Free XP the suspension, 88 gun, turret, and engines, or expect to be merely a spectator for many many horrible games while trying to earn the xp to unlock these modules.
Early Research
- The 100mm gun and top radio are both researched and used on the tier 7 T-34/100. Mount them right away.
- Suspension comes first. It gives more load capacity for new modules and better mobility (especially hull traverse)
- 8.8cm gun comes next, since it is much better than the 100mm.
- Top turret follows. Provides some much needed hit points and view range
- Engines give more hp/ton, but since the tank has a decent 18hp/ton stock, the engines can be saved for last.
Suggested Equipment
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
Vertical Stabilizer and Gun Rammer are a must. Coated optics for aggressive playstyle, Binocular Telescope for passive playstyle.

Historical Info
During World War 2 the first encounters with the Russian T-34's quickly led the German army to look for alternative solutions for a new medium tank. One of them was to commission occupied Czechoslovakia's Škoda company to design a new medium tank for the Wehrmacht. In Fall 1941, Germans contacted the Škoda engineers and designers and by the end of 1941, first drawings of the new vehicle (designated T-24) were ready. At the same time, another team was working on an even heavier vehicle, the T-25 and the T-24 project was cancelled in favour of the T-25. Technically, it was one of the most advanced drawings of the Škoda design bureau and just like the T-25, it was inspired by the sloped shapes of the T-34 Soviet tank.
The TVP Design
As the war came to a close, on December 10, 1945, 1st Department of the Czechoslovak High Command sent its ideas about the new tank to the VTU (Military Research Institute). It was supposed to be a 30-33ton machine, armed with an 85mm to 105mm cannon, with the armor of 20 to 65 milimeters. It was to be propelled by a diesel engine with maximum speed of 50 km/h and it was to have a 5-member crew. On December 3, 1946, VTU design bureau presented a miniature mock-up proposal, named "Tank všeobecného použití" (TVP). It was based on the best elements of studied German, British, Russian and Czechoslovak constructions.The VTU institute proposed to use the German 88mm-105mm guns as its armament. In the years 1947 and 1948, this project was worked on, the demands and construction elemends of the vehicle were further refined. There was a parallel development in the other big company - ČKD (Pilsen and ČKD used to compete a lot before the war for military contracts), there is however no information on their involvement in these years.
