    Prototype built by BMM (ČKD) in 1944. Allegedly, 30 series vehicles may have been built in Germany, but there's no evidence to support that claim. Bergepanzer 38(t) chasis was used for the prototype.

    Dunno about Radios, the stock gun is kind of there for grinding purposes. Second engine was not used on the prototype, however it was used on some other JgPz 38(t) based projects.

    Mobility is bad and the superstructure somewhat thin, but main glacis may bounce stuff.

    1946 Proposal from Škoda to mount German 15cm sFH 18 on T-22 chasis. The project was rejected as outdated. Similiar versions with 10.5cm leFH 18 guns also existed.

    T-22 is improved T-21, single prototype without turret was made. The project was further developed into T-23M.

    Radios - no idea as usual. No idea how different were the 10.5cm versions, drawings look pretty similiar, but the drawing numbers are not exactly close. Stock engine is T-21 engine.

    Top gun is Hummel gun, so it should do rather well on tier 5. No gun depression though.

    Self-proppeled howitzer on T-25 chasis was a project from 1942. Wooden mockup for at least the 10.5cm version existed.

    Wartime project by Škoda Werke for self-propelled howitzer based on T-25 chasis, blueprint dated to 1942. Turreted. 105mm versiion also existed.

    Radios - no idea as usual, copied from T-25. Side armor numbers are just me guessing. I assume 360 rotation in the turret.

    Rather tall, but turreted, with 5 degrees of gun depression and decent mobility. Kinda like the french one.

    In 1948, 17 Hummels were gathered, 15 of which were deemed repairable. In the end, 12 vehicles were repaired, their guns rebored for 152,4mm Soviet ammunition. The vehicles served in the army since 1950. The machines eventualy broke down again and were used for spare parts for other Pz IV based vehicles. By 1955 they were no longer listed among their units' equipment.

    Historical. Radios taken from German Hummel.

    Not really that different from German Hummel - different top gun is to be slightly better, uses historical engine though, so not as fast.

    152mm Panther 152mm Panther

    15cm sFH 18 altered for use of Soviet 152mm ammunition, mounted on Panther chasis. Originally suggested in 1947, the project was cancelled in 1950 before the prototype was finished.

    When the Czechoslovak army was re-establishing its tank force after the war, it was also left with one working Panther tank (and 65 more repairable ones). These were to serve in heavy tank role. First Panther went through general repairs in 1947 and it was decided to repair 40 more Panthers along with 14 Bergerpanthers. 13 Bergepanzers entered service shortly after. Repair of combat Panther were postponed to years 1951-52, after which the army had 32 Panthers in working order. They have however never entered into service - some were eventualy rebuild into recovery vehicles, the rest was scrapped.

    Mounting the 15cm howitzer on Panther chasis was an idea from Feb 1947. VTÚ and Škoda agreed on building 2 prototypes and 2 variants with different turrets were presented in documentation sent to VTÚ in July. In August VTÚ changed their request to a single vehicle mounted with 105mm leFH 18. That prototype was finished in 1949, but disassembled in 1950. Chasis was then rebuilt into recovery vehicle.

    Historical. Radios taken from German Panther. Turret armor - unknown levels of paper.

    Same guns as previous vehicle, but with a 360 turret and armor on chasis. Lacks gun depression.

    DANA DANA

    Self-propelled artillery built on wheeled chasis. Project started in Konštrukta Trenčín in late 1960s, with first prototype biult in 1972. Development finished in 1976 and by 1980 first series vehicles entered service in ČSLA. The production has continued into 1990s with 858 total vehicles built in ZTS Dubinca nad Váhom. Cca 300 vehicles are still in service in Czech and Slovak armies.

    Developed as an indigenous and cheaper alternative to tracked Soviet 2S3 Akatsiya, the vz77 DANA was the first vehicles if its kind. The wheeled Tatra 815 chasis made it cheaper to build and maintain, while providing great mobility on roads as well as solid terrain passability.

    Over the years, the vehicle was also exported to Poland, Soviet Union, Lybia and other countries. Various modernizations were also developed since late 1980s, most notably the Slovak Zuzana line of vehicles, which uses the NATO standard 155mm caliber gun. This also includes the A 40 Himalaya prototype, which is basically a Zuzana turret on T-72 chasis.

    Armor values unknown, but it should handle stuff like HMGs. Not sure about the armor thickness but the rest is fine.

    Note that first 2 prototypes used a T-813 chasis instead of T-815. I've never seen any photos though.

    Wheeled artillery with powerful, accurate and fast-firing 152mm gun in rotating turret. (800dmg/55-60pen @.55-.6 accuracy and cca 3 shots per minute imo). Shell arc somewhat on the flat side. While the top speed is high, the vehicle is a tad underpowered to actually reach it even on hard terrain. Kinda large paper target.

    Now this proposal clearly expects that wheeled chasi won't be specific to the new "wheeled tank" scout class. And I don't see why it should, especially when DANA is just the kind of vehicle to possibly even justify implementing a new SPG branch.

    Also note that the turret apparently can't go full 360°, only 225 to each side.

    Project of 7.5cm self-propelled anti-tank gun on T-21(22/23M) chasis designed in 1941, probably on Wermacht request, for export to allied nations. Only wooden model was built.

    Two 75mm guns are mentioned as planned for the vehicles by various sources - A16 seems to be the more likely one. The 10.5cm howitzer gun was not planned for this vehicle in particular, however there was a post-war propsal for a very similiar T-22/23M based vehicle using this gun, and another one with same gun and concept based on Turán chasis, which was also based on T-21 chasis.

    Engines are taken from various T-21/22/23M prtotypes. Radios are guesswork.

    Similiar to tier 4 StuG. Bigger target, but better gun depression and RoF.

    ST-I (TNH) ST-I (TNH)

    After the war, the Jagdpanzer 38(t) became the main tank destroyer of Czechoslovak army under the designation ST-I and more were built for export. During the years 1950-1951 army looked into option of upgunning the vehicle with 76.2mm A19 gun. Project was cancelled along with the development of A19 gun. Soviet 85mm was also considered.

    Jagdpanzer 38(t) entered the Czechoslovak army under the designation ST-I. Some 158 vehicles were exported to Switzerland as G13 and 11 more ended in Guinea. In 1950 the army started to looking for a way to upgun the vehicles as tech from USSR was not available yet. The 76mm A19 gun developed in Škoda was considered, but he development of the gun was cancelled. Other considered gun was the 85mm used on Soviet T-34s - that project was cancelled as well.

    First gun was used on Jagdpanzer 38(t) prototype, on Starr versions and also on some export post-war vehicles, once the manufacturer ran out of the standard gun. Second gun is the historical standard gun of Jagdpanzer 38(t). 76mm A19 and Soviet 85mm are the guns considered for instalation post-war. 105mm derp added for fun, German proposal for JgPz 38t Starr.

    Engines: stock is historical Jagdpanzer 38(t) engine. Second was used on Starr series. Last engine was used on Kätzchen prototypes - recon vehicle / APC also based on the TNH nA chasis.

    Faster than Hetzer thanks to better engines available, however the gun handling is bad on both new guns. The 85mm should be cheaper to research and run, but lacking in penetration and accuracy. The 76mm is more accurate, has better PEN, although slightly worse alpha. The tank stays very small and stealthy, though the armor isn't worth as much anymore.

It was to be fast, small, lightly armored, armed with 76.2mm A19 Škoda gun. In early 1950s this and all related projects were cancelled and Czechoslovakia started using and license-building Soviet vehicles.

    Radios are guesswork. Stock gun was planned on practically the same vehicle as self-propelled light howitzer. Engines taken from T 17, for which the top one was planned.

    There were also turreted variants of thse vehicles with same armanent and less armor - I'm using those as light tanks.

    Kinda like the previous TD, but faster, with much improved gun handling. Not quite the pew-pew of E25 though.

    There were also turreted variants of the vehicle with same armanent and less armor - that is basically the tier 9 TD.

    Project for turreted tank destroyer with gun in fully rotating open turret, based on the TVP chasis. Proposed by Škoda as one of several projects that came to existence in 1948 during the meeting of Škoda and CS army representatives. It was to be fast, lightly armored, armed with 100mm AT gun (variant with 152mm howitzer also existed). In early 1950s this and all related projects were cancelled and Czechoslovakia started using and license-building Soviet vehicles.

    Engines, radios taken from TVP T-50. The 100mm gun are more or less same as on the previous vehicle. The top autoloader is however a "new" gun.

    Historicaly, the A20 was the intended gun for this project + there was practically identical project for 152mm howitzer. The rest of the guns are A20 sister projects (R11 is AA variant, AK1 is another 100mm AT gun developed alongside A20 for TVP project).

    Project for turreted self-proppeled howitzer with gun in fully rotating open turret, based on the TVP chasis. Proposed by Škoda as one of several projects that came to existence in 1948 during the meeting of Škoda and CS army representatives. It was to be fast and lightly armored. In early 1950s this and all related projects were cancelled and Czechoslovakia started using and license-building Soviet vehicles.

    Engines, radios taken from TVP T-50. The gun is... well, the 152mm howitzer to be used on TVP-based wasn't specified besides it's HE capabilities and approximate length, although it's generally accepted that K7 howitzer was planned for these vehicles. I've decided to use a generic 152mm howitzer name, which gives a leeway for some acceptably fake gun properties. I expect the gun to shoot HEAT as both standard and premium ammo.

    Other than the ammo, it's basically te same vehicle as the one on tier 9. More specifically 5914 was to mount 100mm AT gun while 5913 was to mount 152mm howitzer - the guns come with different mounts so there's also that. But effectively the same thing otherwise.

    Added the 130mm R14 gun as an option to possibly keep the gameplay style from previous tier.

    Medium tank Škoda developed for Czechoslovak army. It wasn't quite finished in time to compete against V-8-H developed by ČKD (ST vz 39), but it was further improved and in 1940 the T-21 licence was sold to Hungary, which mass produced the vehicle from 1942 with some modifications as 40.M Turán. Škoda continued to improve the design with prototypes T-22 and T-23M, however no more vehicles were manufactured.

    This tank was developed as Š-IIc, based on the experience from Š-III and ŠP-IIb projects. Development started in 1936 and prototype was made in 1937. As previous medium tank attempts it had problems with the engine and in the end the issues weren't solved soon enough to compete against ČKD V-8-H (ST vz 39) for new Czechoslovak medium tank.

    Škoda continued to work on the prototype, which eventually came to be a rather good tank. By that time the cuntry was already under german occupation and the project was renamed to T-21. While Germans didn't show much interest in the tank, they allowed it to be offered to friendly states. Romania, Hungary and Italy all showed interest in the tank and Škoda was willing to deliver, however Germany decided that Škoda factories will only by used for German production. The company thus offered a production license, however only Hungary had resources and technology to license-produce the vehicle. And eventually, in 1942, they did just that - the hungarian medium tank 40.M Turán is a license produced T-21 with some T-22 upgrades, 40mm gun and other local modifications.

    T-22 was a turretless prototype from 1940. For a while it seemed that Germans might actually want a tank based on this vehicle, but in the end war situation changed their mind. A tank destroyer Voss I with 75mm gun and SPG Voss II with 15cm howitzer were designed on the chasis, but were never built.

    T-23M was the last of the Š-IIc prototypes. It was developed along with T-22, having 50mm of frontal armor and simpler, more reliable chasis. By 1942 it was a very reliable but also outdated machine.

    In the end the remaining prototypes were shown to CS army after the war, but since they were already utterly obsolete, the tanks were scrapped in late 1940s.

    Hull is the one of T 21. The stock setup should otherwise correspond the first Š-IIc prototype version. T-21 would get the 2nd engine. T-21 as planned for Hungary would have the 40mm gun. T 22 came with the top engine. T-23M turret got 50mm frontal armor and new gun in form of A11 and of course the second set of tracks corresponds to it. Radios are as usual guesswork.

    The vehicle itself is a lot like ST vz.39, the top gun is a 40mm autoloader, rather than single-shot gun.

    Škoda T 15 was one of the contesting designs for new reconnaissance vehicle for german army, however during the trials the tank design was deemed as unrefined. Five prototypes were made between 1941 and 1945.

    When Germany looked for a new scout tank in 1940, three manufacturers submitted their prototypes: MAN submitted the VK 13.03, ČKD(then BMM) submitted the TNH nA and Škoda entered with T 15. In the end MAN won the contract (although the TNH nA proved to be superior during the tests in 1942) and VK 13.03 came to be known as Luchs. Škoda T 15 was deemed unrefined and returned to factory. Škoda built total of 5 prototypes between 1941-1945 and continued on imporving their design, but all were eventually scraped.

    In case the tank would get manufactured, a new turret from Daimler-Benz was planned for it, which would mount the 5cm KwK 39 L/60 gun.

    Stock configuration reflects the variant that underwent the trials. (Expcet maybe for radio as I'm not entirely sure which one was used.)

    The Daimler Benz turret should basically corespond to the VK 16.02 Leopard turret.

    The second engine was suggested by Škoda in one of their prototypes, the T 15D.

    Basically the German tier 3 premium with upgrades, made historical. The most obvious difference is the second turret with 5cm gun. Now not much is known about the turret, but all things considered, the VK 16.02 Leopard turret seems to be the closest real thing to whatever was intended for the tank. So, yeah, basically a T-15 with Luchs turret. The turret and the gun of course make the tank noticeably heavier.

    The 5cm gun has better penetration stats than it's German counterpart, which is nerfed compared to reality, fow whatever the reason may be. (The PEN numbers are historical, but for a 30° sloped armor.) Anyway I buffed it to more proper levels for use in Czechoslovak tree.

    In top configuration the tank still has healthy 20.5hp/t and a punchy gun for a tier 4 scout.

    Further development of last Škoda T 15 prototype. It featured sloped frontal armor and was used as a testbed for some of the Škoda autoloading guns. No more prototypes were built.

    Not much is known about the T 16 tank - it was a development of T 15 with sloped frontal armor and it is said that Škoda autoloading guns were tested on it.

    The photo used for an icon is the closes thing and pretty much the only usable image of T 16. Hell Im not even sure it is the right tank, but it was described as such and the suspension does look a lot like on T 15 and it does seem to have the sloped frontal armor. So unless I find some more reliable data, this is T 16.

    As I said, not much data is available. I used most things from T 15. T-103 should be the engine intended for T-16.

    The second turret is in fact a T 12 turret, aka one of the turrets from upgraded export versions of LT vz 35. It is said that LT vz 35 turret was used on a T 15 in attempt to quickly press the prototype into service near the end of the war, but war ended before that could happen. Also this turret was able to take a 47mm gun, which makes it a good choice for the above mentioned gun testing.

    The 57mm A25 autoloader gun was also mentioned as being tested on this vehicle, it may be added as new top gun if A24 appears to be lacking.

    Regarding the A24 and A25 penetration values. I've eventually tried various ways of approximating the gun's penetration for WoT (100m flat). I'm no expert, I mostly used values from guns with similiar performance or properties and extra/interpolated with that, getting various results with various source data. Basically, I think the A23 autoloader already present in the game is somewhat buffed from cca 70mm of PEN to ingame 82mm. With that in mind, I buffed the A24 and A25 results in similiar manner.

    For A24 I mostly ended up with results of cca 87-90mm, but some went as high as 111mm. For now I'll stick with 90mm, though greater buff wouldn't be out of question for Škoda T16.

    For A25 (see TNH 57/900, Leták) the numbers got me 110-144mm penetration, but in most cases 129-131mm. 130mm it is then.

    The vehicle is slightly lighter and thus slightly more maneuverable than T 15. Sloped armor won't help much, but some mid-caliber HE rounds won't pen it frontally. The 47mm autoloader has sub-par penetration, but good soft stats, including fast drum reload time. Other than that, same as previous vehicle.

    Škoda company's proposal for a new light tank as well as new light platform. The tank had fairly modern design, but it never made it past the drawing board. Since the Czechoslovak army wasn't interested in new light tanks and exporting taks was virtually impossible under the Soviet influence, the project was ended in early 1950s.

    Gun intended for the vehcle was 75mm A26 Škoda autoloader - previous guns are there to have something to research. The engines were never really specified - the stock engine should fit the tank and fits the request for 200hp engine well. The other two were just mentioned in vague terms that more or less make up their description in the tree. Radios were probably never specified.

    No projection on the top speed, so I set it to 65 kph.

    The 75mm A26 Škoda autoloader is essentialy the same gun as the top gun on T 25, only with fully automatic loading mechanism. In game Id give it worse accuracy and aimtime with huge bloom after firing, but very fast RoF between shots - effectively could empty the 3-shell drum in a second, but without letting it aim like that it would be highly unlikely to actually hit the target. Mid gun should behave like on T 25, except with worse soft stats and while A26 should have an andge in DPM, all three guns should be a viable option for this tank.

    Frontal armor of this tank is actually pretty decent thanks to its sloping and occasional bounce may happen. Speed on the tank is pretty good and while bigger than the previous tanks, the overall size is still pretty small.

    Overall a smaller faster T-25 with weaker armor, serious accuracy issues on autoloader guns and generally bad reload times on drums.

    SPG projects based on LP platform propesed by Škoda - intended as mobile light turreted tank destroyer (Zb 5916-S) or light howitzer (Zb 5915-S). Concept vehicle based on Ministry of National Defense requests from 1948. Never got to development as the LP chasis project was dropped.

    Relatively historical. I'm using this TD as a light tank, since it's fast and small. Speed is buffed, though depends how you look at it - project only states minimum speed.

    Stock gun refers to Zb 5915-S 105mm howitzer project, while top turret and guns refer to light tank destroyer setup.

    Very fast, small and maneuverable, no armor, ok gun with good handling. Could be extra stealthy. Play with howitzer for oldschool VK28.01 fun.

    This was design for a amphibious tank requested in 1954, based off different amphibious vehicle and to be using the 57mm autoloader. Several models were built to measure its hydrodynamic properties and the project was sent to Soviet Union for evaluation. The evaluation ended favourably: Soviets suggested installing a bigger gun (either 76 or 85mm) and weaker engine (the 200hp V-6), but overall considered the project to be better than Soviet PT-76. Regardless, the project was scrapped in 1956.

    There were two models of the vehicle - one on the picture and other with a pike nose. I would suggest using the one with the pike nose as it looks better and will probably have better gun depression.

    Stock configuration with V-2 engine is the original proposed setup. (Again, radio is guesswork.)

    Gun upgrades correspond to Soviet suggestion to upgun the project.

    The second turret is fake - basically an enlarged version of original turret to provide some gun depression for the 76mm and 85mm guns. I don't really think that the stock turret could actually take an 85mm gun in a meaningful way and turret redesign would have to happen if that gun was to be used imo - that's all there is to it. It's really just my guesstimate - could be removed, should WG feel extra historical, but for now I'll keep it there.

    Quite a big scout. Has great specific power and top speed and resistances and good RoF. The tank has no armor a won't take ramming well at all. Gun depression sucks, but other handling stats are good and DPM is relatively great. Although the turret itself is quite low-profile, the hull is in fact taller than T-54 hull. It's kinda like Skautpanther with better gun that cannot ram things. Or bounce things >_>

    Frankly, I don't like it. It's huge target with no armor - literally a huge xp pinata, guns have bad gun depression because of the low-profile turret. Soft stats should be padded as possible.

    WG is generally against adding amphibious vehicles into the game, although imo as long as no one expects them to actually float, they might not care too much about that.

    Upgunned vehicle from tier 7. Both guns are unhistorical.

    Rather than having this as Zb5915 with unhistorical upgrades, I've decided to make it de facto fake vehicle. This is basically the Zb5915/16 vehicle with bigger guns.

    The 85mm gun is only there for stock role, although the 105mm howitzer of Zb5915 should have some mount parts rather similiar to 85mm A22 gun.

    100mm is a T-54 gun, one of the versions license-produced in Czehoslovakia. It would fit in the turret, not sure about recoil though.

    The 100mm gun is mix of various D-10 gun and ammunitions from T-54/lwt with full 320 damage - expecting not very good soft stats, depression/elevation angles or turret traverse. AP penetration is on the low side. Other than that, same as tier 7 LT pretty much.

    OA-82 Jarmila II Tatra T-811

    With wartime armored cars phased out of service, Czechoslovakia found itself with no armored cars in the early 1950s. As a result of this, project for development of new vehicle of this class was started in spring of 1952. The vehicle was to be based on Tatra T-805 truck chasis, armed with machine guns, with weight under 4 tons.

    AZNP Mladá Boleslav (aka nowdays Škoda Auto) was tasked with the project and came up with Š-971, also known under the project codename "Jarmila". Three prototypes were built between 1954-1955, however due to issues with engine overheating, the project was eventually cancelled in 1956. One of the prototypes was used a demonstrator vehicle for the new 82mm recoilless gun in 1957, but all prototypes were eventually scrapped.

    Ideas for alternatives to Š-971 evetually led to a new armored car project on the same T-805 chasis - this time armed with a pair of the 82mm vz.59 recoilles guns on a fully rotating turret. The task was assigned to Tatra Kopřivnice, which came up with Tatra T-811 vehicle, better known as OA-82 Jarmila II. The prototype was built in 1958. The vehicle was successfully trialed, however the mass production has been cancelled in early 1959 due to lack of production capacity.

    Soviet BDRM-1 were imported to fulfill the role of light recon vehicle instead.

    Saw both R-113 and RM-31T mentioned as the radio. The rest should check out.

    Well, the elephant in the room are the recoilles guns, which are not currently an option for WoT vehicles (not quite sure why though), and neither is having dual guns, which would require some new reload mechanics. Other than that, this would likely be the best option for tier X light vehicle.

    This would be the ambush scout, as small size with great mobility makes it ideal for stealth ambushes and active scouting. However, low weight and lack of armor means that 1) everything will overmatch it 2) collisions with other tanks are likely to be fatal.

    The guns lack premium ammo (might come up with some fake enhanced HEAT if necessary), but the penetration of standard HEAT shells is best of the tier X LT guns. Now while a single shot does measly 220 DMG, player should be able to shoot both guns at once - without any issues like charging the shot - delivering 440 DMG in single burst. Having 2 guns makes reload mechanism tricky, but basically it can act as standard clip with nigh-zero interclip reload and 10-15s full clip reload. The shell velocity wouldn't be great, neither would the gun accuracy, but on short to mid ranges the guns should be very effective.

    AH-IV-C AH-IV-C

    AH-IV tankettes based on TNH design were exported in several variants to Persia, Romania, Sweden and Etiopia - over 150 AH-IV tankettes were built between 1935 and 1950. Besides the produced vehicles, there were also few unrealized project variants. At least one of them, AH-IV-C (1936 offered to Lithuania, later to Sweden), was supposed to mount a 20mmm Oerlikon gun.

    Tankette based on TNH-style suspension was first built for Persia (AH-IV-P) - 50 vehicles were built between 1936 and 1937. Meanwhile, Romania and Sweden also got interested in those vehicles and AH-IV-R became known as the Romanian R-1 (35+ vehicles) and Sweden accepted AH-IV-Sv as Strv m/37 (48). Etiopia bought about 20 in late 1940s.

    When Lithuania started looking for some armor at the end of 1935, Praga responded with AH-IV-C - an AH-IV variant with 20mm Oerlikon gun. In the end Lithuania chose to buy some tanks from Vickers and AH-IV-C never came to existence. Later when Sweden became interested in AH-IV, the AH-IV-C was again mentioned, along with possibility of AH-IV-D, which was supposed be a "bigger, heavier version" - I have no more info on that though. In the end Sweden chose to use modified AH-IV-R instead.

    There was no radio on early AH-IV vehicles. Also I don't have any idea how the turret might've looked. The pic is a simple montage. The rest is based on AH-IV-P wich should be the basis for AH-IV-C. Gun elevatiin/depression are effectively balance parameters here.

    Good ground resistances and maneuverability, nice viewrange and workable penetration on the 20mm autocanon should make this pretty decent gift tank. Gun handling and soft stats not so great though.

    TNH 57/900 TNH 57/900

    This was a post-war project for a tank built on the 38(t) (TNH) chasis. It featured sloped frontal armor as the one on Jagdpanzer 38(t) and newly designed sloped turret that could take the 57mm autoloader Škoda gun. It was planned for export, however Soviet Union made arms export practically impossible, so it was cancelled. Partially built prototype may have existed.

    Stronger of the proposed engines is used and the mobility isn't great - ground resistances boost will be required. Maximum speed of 48kph also sounds more like a fast medium - considering that TNH nA did over 70kph with basically the same chasis (although that was probably a ton or two lighter vehicle), I've buffed the top speed to 65 kph.

    The gun has decent PEN an bad alpha, also bad gun depression, but compensates for it with good burst potential and decent reload time. Tank itslef is small, stealthy, mobility is decent, although not entirely scout-like.

    LT vz. 34 LT vz. 34

    First Czechoslovak tank to be accepted into service. It quickly became obvious that 15mm of armor won't be sufficient in combat and the tanks were soon replaced by LT vz. 35. One prototype and 50 series vehicles were made between 1932 and 1935. By the time WW2 broke out the vehicle was already outdated.

    Light tank, pattern 34 was the first Czechoslovak-made tank accepted into service. Development started in ČKD in 1932 with prototype finished late 1932. After mostly positive results of both company and army tests, 50 vehicles were ordered and accepted into service in 1935. By then it was already obvious that 15mm of armor would be insufficient in combat.

    As LT vz. 35 became the main tank of Czechoslovak army, LT vz. 34 was considered for recon role, but that didn't really work well since the tanks were slow and noisy. In the end the tanks were used for traning.

    While some were used as small fortifications in Slovakia, the vehicles never really saw combat and were eventually scrapped.

    There were many tanks and prototypes that could fill in the role of tier 2 light tank vehicle, but the LT vz. 34 is certainly of greatest importance thanks to actually being accepted in service and manufactured in greater numbers (50 + 1 prototype).

    Known designations: P-II (prototype/company designation); LT vz. 34 (army designation).

    Historical LT vz. 34 is sadly rather underwhelming vehicle - only firepower is comparable with LT vz. 35. The 15mm of armor is useless and the engine power makes this tank more sluggish than most heavies (below 9 hp/t ratio).

    Atypický Tatra Atypický Tatra

    New tank conception designed by Tatra in 1936, that evetually got patented and turned into project. Point of the concept was to have maximum armor with minimal weight, good visibility for driver and effective space ergonomy with everything inside one big, well armored turret. Project planed to use double chasis of T-78 (T-III), but as T-III turned out to be a complete failure, no prototypes were ever built.

    New tank conception designed by Tatra in 1936, that evetually got patented and turned into project. Point of the concept was to have maximum armor with minimal weight, good visibility for driver and effective space ergonomy with everything inside one big, well armored turret. Project planed to use double chasis of T-78 (T-III), but as T-III turned out to be a complete failure - especially the engine, no prototypes were ever built. In 1938 patent was awarded to Tatra for this tank conception.

    Pretty historical, maybe except the radio.

    The tank isn't very fast, but it's not slow either and would have very good p2w ratio for decently armored medium. The turret makes it a big target and the tank wouldn't have good camo, but it would have very good viewrange.

    Interesting feature of the tank is its front - there is no chasis in front of turret, although tracks make it look a bit like there is, meaning that many noobs may shoot you there for no damage (outside detrack).

    Small gun in tall turret means very good gun depression - easily 15, possibly even 20 degrees. There would still be a big piece of turret above the gun to shoot at when working ridges though. Armor is good enough to bounce most of the low-caliber guns, especially if angled.

    Development of the T 40 tank was suggested by the Škoda company under the TVP (general purpose tank) program in 1946. The vehicle design was developed; however, a prototype was never built.

    About the proposal

    This tree proposal is no longer maintained.

    I didn't really actively play the game during the last update of this tree and now that WG has anounced another fake Czechoslovak tank - a heavy one nonetheless, implying a later introduction of a fake heavy line - I'm just done with this.


    This proposal is based on info from several, mostly czech sites about armoured tech (most importantly the valka.cz and utocnavazoba.wz.cz, also for example panzernet.net and occasionaly some other sites I frankly don't remember). WoT wiki and tanks.gg were used when devising pentration stats. Info from following books was used: Českoskoslovenská obrněná vozidla 1918-1948, Exportní lehké tanky Praga, Exportní tančíky Praga, Československé tankové síly 1945-1992 by V.Francev, Obrněná technika 1944-2001 Výroba v Slovenskej republike by Š. Zupko and J. Zupko and Od bodáku po tryskáče by M. Dubánek. Especially the first one on the list was very useful. SilentStalker's articles from FTR were also used for lots various info and as basis for mainly the LT line and some info was takn from Yuri Pasholoks articles on Warspot.ru. This AW article was useful for the Jarmila vehicle.

    I got kinda fed up with all this as I was putting together the TD line, which you can probably guess from vehicle descriptions getting pretty short on TDs. So while I was planning to add some details to this proposal, for the forseeable future I'm not making any major changes to the page itself.

    Tank stats on the left are always meant for the top config by the way - should be historical, can't say that for sure with some gun depression stats though. Oh and images are not to scale, obviously. Blue backshadow highlights "new" modules (not turrets and tracks), while red module background means the module would be too heavy for stock tracks. Red outline means unhistorical module (not used when only minor details are wrong). I don't go into stuff like aimtime, reload time, etc. besides some approximations in tank details texts. These are ultimately balance parameters. Even the number of shells in magazine is there rather to make obvious it's an autoloader gun. Overall, the module listing is probably what differentiates this proposal most from whichever there were before, although the line setups are also fairly unique afaik.

    Default ammo on new guns is AP with roughly historical stats, while premium is APCR, which may be fake on some guns. APCR penetration is approximated. Exceptions now have the ammo types specified.

    Penetration value on some new guns may not be historical, but by now all differences should be below 10mm of PEN where some data were available. This is mostly a combination of gun performace needs and similiar WG enhancements already made to some guns. There are some "generic" guns with liitle to no parameters available - these have stats created according to the needs of the tree.

    Oh yea - this page probably does not display properly in IE. I was using this to see what can be done with CSS and HTML these days, but I didn't really bother with checking how it displays on different browsers. I used Firefox to make it and I see no issues on Chrome, so current browsers based on those should be fine. I saw some bugs on various IE versions, like borders around images where they shouldn't be, or missing the horizontal slider. Well I'm not fixing that, definitely not now. No javascript used btw. Playing with responsive design on larger scaly sound like a PIA, so it probably won't happen.

    By the way if you have any comments or suggestions, you can send them to pipboy@seznam.cz

    May 5th 2016 - Updated 88mm guns PEN to 9.15 values. (T 40, TVP VTU)

    April 24th 2016 - Slight nerf to 76mm guns' alpha. Removed TNH nA premium for having way too underpowered gun. Added Škoda T 12 on tier 3 instead.

    April 20th 2016 - Slight nerf to LT8 top gun standard and premium ammo penetrations, adjusted number of shells in LT7 drums. Minor fixes in texts.

    April 2nd 2016 - just some small edits to T23M and putting ATT back to tier 4.

    March 12th 2016 - Made more changes based on input from people on The Armored Patrol (thanks guys, especially Sebastianul for posting it) and more:

    March 2016 - I've made some changes:


    When the Czechoslovak tree was introduced into the game, I was happy that our nation is finally getting one. On the other hand I was disappointed that the tree is in fact only a single medium branch. Japanese got their not very impressive light tank line right from the start and we don't? We had more light tank material and they would mostly be proper scouts. And there are some light tanks I was really hoping to see in the game, like the LT vz 34 - first Czechoslovak-made tank that was built in numbers, or TNH 57/900 - really cool looking post-war light tank project. And the AH-IV tankette, one of the few actually sucessful tankettes ever built - now that I know there was a plan for 20mm autocanon version I know it can be done.

    Anyways, adding the light branch was the main purpose of this thingy. As light lines were prolonged to tier 10, vehicles on tiers up to 8 actualy turned out to fit the tree quite weel in their historical setups. Problem was with the new tiers - tier 9 and 10 vehicles are not very fitting. Tier 9 has to utilise 2 unhistorical/fake guns to work on this tier at all and tier 10 is hardly czechoslovak or even a light tank. Still they are in my opinion the best options, should the complete Czechoslovak light line be implemented.

    Some vehicles from german and soviet tree reapear, namely the T-15 (with upgrades), Hetzer (upgunned), SU-100 (upgunned).

    I've buffed the top speed on some vehicles using either LP or TNH nA chasis, As for LP based ones there was only ever a requirement to achieve at least 55kph and TNH nA did achieve speeds over 70kph during tests even though the official number was 65kph I think.

    So that would be the first upgrade to the CS tree - scout line with TNH 57/900 as introductory premium. Generally speaking, these are almost all small tanks with good camo rating, usually great power to weight ratio and in most cases also a good gun depression, but paper armor. Number of them has low caliber autoloaders that would use burst damage instead of single-shot alpha, while their drum reload times are well comparable to single-shot gun reloads thanks to small magazines and low-caliber shells.

    The tier 2 Škoda Š-II serves as a gift premium proposal - it is the least shitty of the alternatives and most importantly, it looks most different from all these pre-war Czechoslovak tanks. Besides that one there is a whole bunch of posible tier 2 and 3 premium candidates. After removing TNH nA from the tree, I've added Škoda T12 on tier 3 as alternative gift tank.


    Along with the scout line I would also consider adding an alternative low-tier medium line. These tanks aren't particularly special in game terms, but they do carry some historical importance and provide the ability to start playing mediums from tier 2 onwards.

    Low tier mediums: The Škoda Š-IIc/T21/22/23M series of prototypes were fairly important, even if they were never mass produced. This tank may have lost the contest for Czechoslovak medium tank to ST vz39, but ended up being much more influential, since it was later produced in Hungary as 40M Turán, thus serving as basis for Turán and Zrínyi series of vehicles. T-III/Š-III were the "heaviest" czechoslovak designs in their time, although both ended up as failure. Some call them heavy, but officially they were medium breakthrough tanks and there is no point in treating them as heavies when you don't have a heavy branch. The Š-III predecessor on tier 2 was the first attempt for "big" czechoslovak tank, with roots in late 1920s. Tatra had one too, but the one from Škoda seems to be better documented. (Kinda sad about switching Š-III for T-III, meaning that the line is no longer "Škoda medium" line, but I'd prefer having a more decent tank there.)

    There are many alteranatives for tier 3, but those lack modules for upgrading and generally look same as most other pre-war CS tanks - class III vehicles are the most interesting ones, maybe along with ŠP-IIb - sort of predecessor to the Š-IIc on tier 4 - but it lacks modules for upgrades.

    Tier 4 premium to go with this medium minibranch would be the Atypic Tatra tank, which had a very unique construction and could provide interesting gameplay.

    Top guns on T-23M is the same 47mm as on ST vz 39 - that is a Wargaming fake to make gun competetive on T4 MT afaik. I'm trying to keep this proposal rather historical (outside radios - I know hardly anything about those), but if WG already did somthing like that, I won't hesitate to use it to solve issues.


    Last part was the TD line, added because "I might as well while I'm at it." TD line can be done, but it's a rather problematic one. Using actual existing Czechoslovak stuff one will get to tier 4 with "Hetzer". Throw in some upgunning proposals, wartime and post-war projects, license-produced Soviet tech and I stretched it up to tier 9. And that's it. There was really no need for anything with bigger guns (not counting the artillery). Meaning there was no actual vehicle or project that could become the tier 10 tank destroyer. Afaik. The problem is that if there's no tier 10 TD, Wargaming won't make the line. So SilentStalker came with a bunch of fake proposals for tier 10. In the end I came up with one fake of my own, based on vehicle from 2000s but using the tech from 1970s. Eventually I've dropped that and ended up with a 152mm howitzer varint of tier 9 TD. The howitzer is not very well specified, which makes it well balanceable, especially if we apply the brutal HE damage to it in JP heavy style.

    Generally, most of these TDs again work with speed and good RoF. Alpha and pen are so-so, while the armor is no-no. Tiers 3,9,10 have fully traversible turret. Tiers 3,8,9 use autoloaders.


    TDs arent particularly my thing anyway, and same could be said about SPGs. SPGs are now also part of the tree - it has it's own issues. There is a limited amount of guns and vehicles, basically I was originally planning to use 240mm and 305mm mortars for tiers 9,10 respectively, but 305mm is just overkill, especially after the arty nerf, so I had to stretch the smaller guns to tier 9. 240mm is not mentioned in most sources I use, which makes it problematic - the one source I am basing this on states that the gun is rifled, however it is not the most reliable source ever... unfortunately there is no proper slef-propelled howitzer between above 15cm, so I had to go with Kominík...
