Supertest - CZ Tier 3 - LT Vz.38

Hello warriors,

here's a Czechoslovak tier 3 - LT Vz.38.



Description:

One of the best light tanks in the world in the late 1930's. It was originally developed by Praga under the designation of TNH-S for export to Sweden but also accepted in service by the Czechoslovak army as LT Vz.38 ("light tank, 1938 pattern") in order to replace the aging LT Vz.35. Heavily used by the Germans during their attack on Poland, France and Soviet Union under the name of Panzerkampfwagen 38 (call). By 1941 it was deemed too light to fight modern Soviet vehicles but the excellent chassis was used in the production of tank destroyers and self-propelled guns. Many were converted to the well-known Jagdpanzer 38 (call) "Hetzer". Several vehicles survived the war and were briefly considered for service in the new Czechoslovak army before being mostly scrapped.

14/09/2015 Stream

Hello Warriors,

Its time for my scheduled stream: http://www.twitch.tv/ritagamer2

 For today I'm planning to do Tank Requests of Platooning depending how things (my mood let's be honest) goes.

As usual, 198 Tanks and EU/NA.

steady as the Tortoise goes!

14/09/2015 Q&A

Here it is:

- Asian (Japanese, Chinese) artillery branches are not ready yet, developers are collecting info and drawings;
- Storm is aware of issues with matchmaker, it will be improved;
- There is an issue where players are playing on the same maps over and over again, it will be fixed;
- Italian MT branch can be built but there isn't much interest in its implementation from players;
- WG archive team is very good, it finds tanks nobody knew existed;
- Amphibious tanks will come in very distant future;
- Crew will be completely reworked in the future (to resemble current WoWs system);
- Developers want to completely rework penetration mechanisms, it will be tested but the devs are not sure whether it's worth doing;
- Historical battles will return as PvE mode, weak tanks will be played by bots;
- Chat interface will be improved;
- It's possible company battle mode will be removed altogether;
- It's possible KV-5 will be buffed;
- Premium artillery was planned (even hightier) but after seeing the player feedback on arty as a whole, the plan was postponed indefinitely;
- WG has several games according to SerB on which they are working that they haven't announced yet;
- WoWs is now ready for release - WoT was released raw (underprepared) because the development money ran out;
- Only 20 percent of SerB's current job concerns WoT;
- There will be PS4 WoT;
- Master of Orion will be as good as the old one!
- Introducing the E-25 was a mistake according to SerB. The fact that it is still being sold or given away on occasion is "a bad idea of certain people";
- SerB states that the replacement of WT E-100 will be Grille 15cm;
- Developers are working on a new mode for tier 10 tanks, one of its elements is the presence of tier 12 tanks - players will be able to get those under certain circumstances and then pwn with them in battles - it will have a special MM.
- Object 140 in HD will not come anytime soon;
- Currently the patch speed in WoT is 1 patch per 1,5 months, it's possible it will slow down a bit but this is not decided yet;
- There will be a special Platoon Finder mechanism;
- Current tests show that the servers can handle the new motion physics;
- In new motion physics, the turning dynamics improved noticeably;
- 9.11 should bring performance improvement;
- Developers are generally satisfied with the average length of battle;
- In conflict of historicity and playability, gameplay considerations will always win.


And someone posted this the other in one of the RSR comment sections about WoT servers:
