A-32
Revision as of 18:59, 6 May 2012 by
The A-32 is a Soviet tier 4 premium medium tank that was available as part of the game's Light Pre-Order Package, it was also briefly available from the Gift Shop before being withdrawn. Classified as a light tank at the game's release, it was reclassified as a medium tank a few months later. It's basically an improved version of the A-20 that has more health, armor and a decent gun that has noticeably higher penetration than the A-20's. Even with these upgrades, it cannot win a head-on fight against a proper medium. Instead, it should be used as a scout tank.

Historical Info
==Production history of the T-34, A-32 being T-34's prototype==
Koshkin convinced Soviet leader Joseph Stalin to let him develop a second prototype, a more heavily armed and armoured "universal tank" which could replace both the T-26 and the BT tanks. The second prototype Koshkin named A-32, after its 32 millimetres (1.3 in) of frontal armour. It also had a 76.2 mm (3 in) gun, and the same model V-2 diesel engine. Both were tested in field trials at Kubinka in 1939, with the heavier A-32 proving to be as mobile as the A-20. A still heavier version of the A-32 with 45 millimetres (1.8 in) of front armour and wider tracks was approved for production as the T-34. Koshkin chose the name after the year 1934 when he began to formulate his ideas about the new tank, and to commemorate the decree expanding the armoured force and the appointment of Sergo Ordzhonikidze to head tank production.
