The Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. is a German tier 4 light tank.
Desarrollado por la compañía BMM como nuevo carro ligero de reconocimiento sobre el chasis del Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) desde julio de 1940. El vehículo utilizó tecnología de soldado en vez de remaches. El nuevo motor y la transmisión mejorada permitieron una velocidad punta de 64 km/h. El desarrollo se abandonó a favor del VK 1303. Se fabricaron 5 prototipos.
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 fully upgraded cannon is surprisingly powerful and is 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 scout
- Fairly small size and excellent camo values
- 130 mm penetration premium rounds; can also penetrate tier VII vehicles
Cons:
- Has scout matchmaking, it can meet vehicles up to tier 7
- Poor traverse speed
- Poor armour
- Low 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 Scouts, making it an excellent Passive Scout for its Tier. It can completely dominate same tier fights and still contribute offensively in Tier VII 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.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The tank's actual weight was 11.8 tons. In World of Tanks, however, it weighs 11.9 tons (14.96 when upgraded).
- Its top speed is currently 62 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).
- Actual armor specifications are 30/20/20 (currently 50/25/10). Mantlet was 30mm thick (currently 25mm) and roof was 10mm thick (currently 8mm).
- 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.
