Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A.

The Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. is a German Tier IV Light Tank.

Developed on the chassis of the Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t) in the fall of 1939, this prototype used welding technology instead of rivets. The 250 h.p engine allowed for a top speed of 62 km/h. The vehicle was never mass produced.

Essentially a Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t) with more armor, more hit points, a higher top speed, but low acceleration. The "nA" in the tanks name stands for "neuer Art", which might be considered similar to the term "State-of-the-art" in English. Its fully ungraded 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 out of a tough situation a bad option.

The Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t) n.A. leads to the Hetzer and the Pz. Kpfw. IV.

Personal Review
This was a fairly good little tank, it has good view range, a fairly good gun, and a small silhouette for good camo rating. Really, a good little scout tank, passive scout tank that is, the view range is already a good 370m, meaning that people unable to afford equipment, will still not really have problems detecting most tanks at arounf 350 metres. It is very maneuverable, so it is able to move foward and get itself into good passive scouting locations for its team.

I actually did rather well in this tank, while no doing much damage in it myself, I played it well as a passive scouter and was through to the next tank in no time, I did not keep mine however. For people progressing through should have no trouble getting to the next tier.

Pros

 * Good top speed, turret traverse and view range
 * Above average camo
 * Small size
 * Good dispersion levels on the move
 * Low speed loss when turning

Cons

 * Poor traverse speed for its speed
 * Poor hull and turret armor
 * Below average penetration and damage
 * Rather poor acceleration
