The PzKpfw 38(t) nA is essentially a PzKpfw 38(t) with more armor, more hit points, and a better turret. With the new turret comes the ability to mount a more powerful 5 cm cannon. An improved engine is also available, but the added weight tends to mitigate it.
The "nA" in the name stands for "neuer Art", which might be considered similar to the term "state-of-the-art" in English.
Further research leads to the PzKpfw III/IV and the Hetzer Tank Destroyer.

Historical Info
Developed on the chassis of the PzKpfw 38 (t) in Fall of 1939, this prototype used welding technology instead of rivets for both the chassis and turret. A 250 h.p. V-8 engine allowed for acceleration to a speed of 62 km/h. The manufacturer indicated 15 were produced for prototyping and testing, but despite successfully passing all performance tests and achieving a very high speed, no order was placed. The vehicle never entered mass-production and never saw combat.
