The Kolohousenka is a Czechoslovakian tier 1 light tank.
The light wheeled caterpillar tank developed on the chassis of the Hanomag WD-50 tractor. The vehicle never saw service because it was deemed obsolete after the results of trials. Several vehicles, in three variations, were manufactured; three of them were supplied to Italy and the U.S.S.R. As of the time of the German occupation, the only vehicle left in Czechoslovakia was used as a monument.
The first Czechoslovakian tank available to the player. It was added in to the game along with the Czechoslovakian tech tree in update 9.13
The Kolohousenka leads to the LT vz. 35.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High damage, Penetration and decent accuracy ( for a tier I ) on the second gun
- Great gun depression, not R. Otsu great, but better than most tier I's
- Fairly easy to upgrade, as only the second gun needs to be researched
- High DPM outclasses all other tier I's except the MS-1
- Well sloped frontal armor may give a lucky bounce, but dont rely on it
Cons:
- Top speed is horribly bad and even then, it cant be reached on flat ground
- Power to weight ratio is horrendously bad ( worse than the TOG II! )
- Pretty sub-par armor, even by tier I standards
- Outside of the front, slope is non existent
- Slow turning turret ( odd for a tier I light ) makes leading difficult and getting tracked very dangerous
Performance
The Kolohousenka is without a doubt the most basic tank in the game. Everything about it is so simple. Because of this simplicity, it is very likely to attract new players to the game especially due to the lack of modules that need to be researched. Only the gun can be upgraded and is required to be researched in order to research the next tank, the LT vz. 35. As far as actual game-play, there is nothing fancy about this tank. While it has a relatively powerful gun for Tier I standards, it is quite slow. The 50 horsepower Hanomag WD-50PS is actually a tractor engine, not surprising since the entire tank is based on the WD-50 chassis. It does, however, have superb gun depression and can be played as a brawler if used in hilly terrain. Because the tank is very narrow, it can be more difficult to hit, especially with the poor accuracy of Tier I guns. Overall, the Kolohousenka is a great starter tank for new players in a game with a very steep learning curve.
Early Research
- There is only one module that can be researched, and that is the 47 mm Rychlopalné dělo Vickers L/20
- After that you can go right to the next tank, the LT vz. 35

Historical Info
The army was, however, impressed by the hybrid wheel/track concept and commissioned further studies, which resulted in the KH-60 (1928–29) and the KH-70 (1930). In these two designs the engine power was increased to 60 hp and 70 hp respectively and a better system was developed for switching between track and wheel use which allowed a change in less than 10 minutes.

Historical Accuracy Errata
* The wheels (Can be seen in historical image) attached to this tank is missing. It should be noted that they were capable of being removed completely, though.
- The historical speed of the Kolohousenka was at most 18 kilometers per hour for the KH-60 and KH-70, and only 15 kilometers per hour for the KH-50.
- The Kolohousenka as it appears in-game is a hybrid, combining the turret of the KH-70 with the hull of the KH-50.
