The Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. is a German tier 4 light tank.
Developed by the BMM company as a new light reconnaissance tank on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) from July 1940. The vehicle used welding technology instead of rivets. The new engine and improved transmission allowed for a top speed of 64 km/h. Development was discontinued in favor of the VK 1303. Five prototypes were manufactured.
Essentially a Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) with more armor, more hit points, a higher top speed, but lower acceleration.
The "nA" in the tank's name stands for "neuer Art", which might be considered similar to the term "State-of-the-art" in English. Its upgraded cannons are surprisingly powerful and are even able to damage a tier VII tank in certain situations. However, it is slow in reverse, making reversing an unreliable way to get out of a jam.
The Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. marks the end of its German light line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good top speed and accuracy on move
- Good turret traverse speed
- Best view range of all tier IV vehicles, comparable to many tier VI scouts
- Fairly small size and excellent camo values
- High penetration premium rounds; can penetrate tier VI vehicles
Cons:
- Poor traverse speed
- Poor armour
- Mediocre signal range for this tier
- Poor acceleration for a scout tank.
Performance
The Pz38nA is one of the most misunderstood and under-rated Scout tanks in the game. Most players can not advance past its slow acceleration and poor traverse rate, thus it ends up being labeled a dog. It is far from that.
Once you adjust your play style to the 38nA's lack of agility, you begin to unlock the true potential of this little gem of a Scout.
It is fairly small and is blessed with the best View Range for Tier IV, making it an excellent Passive Scout. It can completely dominate same tier fights and still contribute offensively in Tier VI matches if running premium ammo.
As with most Scouts, your goal once the initial passive spotting phase is over should focus on flanking and sniping.
Early Research
- Both the FuG 5 and FuG 8 radios carry over from the PzKpfw 38 (t), as well as the 4.7 cm PaK 38 (t) L/43 gun, which should be installed immediately.
- Research the Praga NR engine first.
- Next research the upgraded suspension.
- Go from there.
- The 5 cm Kw.K. 39 L/60 is required for researching into the Pz. IV Ausf. H but not necessarily mounted: the 4.7cm gun has much better accuracy, 1 second shorter aim time, 600kg less weight(which matters for such a light vehicle) and much cheaper ammunition, only at the cost of 10 less damage per shot, a bit of penetration and shell velocity.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The tank's actual weight was 11.8 tons. In World of Tanks, however, it weighs 10.86 tons (12.47 when upgraded).
- Its top speed is currently 64 km/h, but a test report from Kummersdorf indicated it reached 70 km/h.
- Both of its current engines have incorrect values. Two most historical engines for the vehicle would be 220hp Tatra T-103 and 225 hp Praga NRI (the latter's output was later increased to 248 horsepower by using twin carburators).
- Its stock turret, the Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. G, was never developed for the PzKpfw 38(t) nA.
- Neither the 2 cm Flak 38 nor 4,7 cm Kw.K. (t) L/43 gun were developed for the PzKpfw 38(t) nA.
- One of the Pzkpfw 38(t) nA's historical radios, the FuG 2, is missing. Neither the FuG 37 nor FuG 8 radio were developed for it.
