Well, with these changes on the nA, the grind through the next line would be a breeze for players.

Its welcomed.

No please, I had to go through the horrible matchmaking as forced scout with this to get to the Tiger and others. now they finally have lowered the maximum battle tier and introduced some other f***ing scouts so that at least I don’t get all that pressure about scouting any more, and now you talk about nerfing just about everything to make it more into a scout? f that!
In game the 38na never works well as a scout, and it is actually much more manoeuvrable with the ‘stock’ turret and gun, but that reduces view range so scouting is just plain suicide. This tank should have normal tier IV matchmaking (like the A-20 for instance), and when in tier IV matches it actually behaves more like a fast medium than a light tank – which makes sense, since from the 38na you move to the PzIVH and then the heavies.

So please don’t give WG bad ideas. I don’t care so much about historical details on this, I have kept this tank and enjoy it much more now that I don’t have to always expose myself to tier VIII monsters in this little tin can, and I am hoping one day they’ll finally reduce battle tiers to normal ones for tier IV, so that this tank will feel like the natural extension to the Pz38t of tier III, only one tier higher and on the way to bigger tanks.

Leave it as it, reduce battle tiers and this tank can be a good middle ground between the light tank battles of the lower tiers and the bigger tanks that come after it.

this tank already has no working armor.(I don’t think this tank had any working part…)
These nerf’s doesn’t change anything in gameplay matters.
scout class under t5 are need to remove.

Second turret was an enlarged post-war construction to house automatic 47mm (even 57mm) gun. It had nothing to do with Germany.

I almost never judge the incorrect proportions of a model, because there is no way how to measure them in the game. It’s possible (by eye).

Thanks for the precision :). I was surprised that you did not listed your sources as usual in this article (and we both know the importance of reliable sources, and that’s why I’m surprised of how erroneous is Chamberlain & Doyle on this tank).

Any pictures of what is wrong on the turrets ?
You said:
“the stock turret is fake (the top one is too, but at least it roughly LOOKS like the real deal)” and “The vehicle did ever have a second turret, but that came only after the war, so historically, only one turret version is correct”
So there was really two turrets ? If I understand you properly, the stock one is a fake, the top one should be stock and there is a second post-war turret (missing ingame) ?

Do you also have the impression of possible incorrect proportions of the model in regards with what we can see on historical pictures (or on blueprints) ?

Oh but I think the best gun on Pz38tnA is the 47mm one, since its aim time and the accuracy on the move is much better…
The 50mm’s aim time is just too long to be on a low-tier scout.

Frankly I think that even most Czechs wouldn’t notice any difference in this episode between Pz 38 (t) and Pz IV H and Hetzer.
