Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A.
Revision as of 01:51, 16 April 2012 by
The PzKpfw 38 nA is a German tier 4 Light tank. It is essentially a PzKpfw 38 (t) with more armor, more hit points, and with a better turret. With the new turret comes the ability to mount a powerful 5 cm gun. An improved engine is also available, but the added weight tends to mitigate it. Also, be aware that you, unfortunately, will be facing up to tier 9 tanks, which is what is unique about this tank. 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.

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.
