The LT-432 is a Soviet tier 8 premium light tank.
In the early 1960s, Research Institute No. 100 developed several projects of vehicles based on the Object 432. In addition to the crew, an extra deployment of troops was also to be carried. Existed only in blueprints.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good armor for a light tank
- Good gun depression of -7°
- High DPM, good gun handling and high velocity APCR as default ammo
- Very low profile, great camouflage values
- Great mobility: tied for the 2nd highest top speed in tier, also high engine power
Cons:
- Large hull, comparable to most medium tanks and even some heavies
- Low height also limits its opportunity to exercise hull-down tactics
- Poor crew trainer, the crew slots only match the T-100 LT and a few low-tier light tanks
- Subpar premium ammo
- Subpar viewrange for its tier and role
Performance
The LT-432 has the same crew setup, comparable sneaking ability and similar overall layout as its top tier brother, the infamous T-100 LT, yet it's not that simple an tier 8 in lieu:
The main difference lies in its hull and gun: The LT-432's hull, while mostly appreciable in terms of height and being able to create some troll-bounces, has an irritating length and width that equals the Obj. 252U; fortunately it also carries the potent D-58 gun with high rate of fire, moderate damage/penetration and decent handling, allowing for good damage potential compared to the T-100 LT's situational weapon. Thus it could be played better by imitating the WZ-132 or T-54 ltwt. style, work with a medium-like mindset and bring out the firepower when assists won't come in easy. Despite this medium analog, its armor shouldn't be relied upon, but can sometimes give one the edge in skirmishes.
If relegated to secondary roles (which would be somewhat rare due to the upcoming changes to MM), passive scouting in a LT-432 isn't as convenient as most other regular lights could manage, but still viable as long as there is suitable concealment. Active scouting require more experience to work out well: its oversized hull should be carefully protected while poking out the turret to spot, otherwise a few de-tracking shots will be your bane. Despite the good mobility, its agility lags a bit after those tech tree peers, and caution must be applied should one plan on making tight turns or circling runs.
Overall the LT-432 provides a very delightful taste of high tier Soviet lights gameplay-wise, just as the Strv S1 does for the S-Tanks line, being nimble, versatile enough to fulfill multiple roles and has what it takes to keep relevant even when things get hot.
Early Research
Premium vehicle, elite in its stock configuration.
Suggested Equipment
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
- With a base view range of 380m, Optics is mandatory unless one opts to passive scout all the time; in that case mount Binocs.
- Gun Rammer is highly beneficial for combat patrol roles. Outgunning light colleagues or even mediums at the right time can be crucial.
If still in the progress of grinding Soviet LT crews, one may choose Vents to boost crew efficiency;
Alternatively, substitute the Vents with VStab for better gun handling.
Survivability equipments, such as the filter or wet rack is not advised: for light tanks with a low HP pool, having a repair kit is enough to keep the modules up and running until the hull itself expires. If detonation or fire troubles you that much, train their perspective crew skills.

Historical Info
However, the arrival of the British 105 mm L7 gun and the US M68 variant of it, fitted to the Centurion and M60 tanks, forced the team to undertake another audacious première, with the adoption of composite armour. The recently created process was called "K combination" by Western armies: this protection consisted of an aluminium alloy layer between two high strength steel layers. As a consequence, the weight of the prototype rose eventually to 34 tonnes. But, as the engine was now a 700 hp (515 kW) 5TDF (also locally designed), its mobility remained excellent, far superior to the active T-62. The obyekt 432 was ready in September 1962 and production started in October 1963 in the Kharkiv plant. On 30 December 1966, it entered service as the T-64.
