[About Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)]



Wikipedia
The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) was a light tank developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. Its official name in Czechoslovakia was LTvz38.

In 1934, the Czechoslovak Army commissioned several manufacturers to develop cavalry tanks. The tank developed by CKD was adopted as the LTvz38 in 1938.
The LTvz38 was a light tank with a small chassis and large rolling wheels, but it was armed with a 37mm gun. Its firepower was comparable to that of the German Army's main tank at the time, the III.
In 1938, Czechoslovakia was annexed by Nazi Germany. At that time, the Germans, who were short of tanks, turned to the LTvz38. Due to its excellent performance, the Germans adopted the LTvz38 as their own tank, the "Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)".
When World War II broke out, the LTvz38 was deployed as a tank in the German army. During the invasion of France, the 38(t), which had more firepower than the German tanks No. I and No. II, was heavily used, and it performed as well as the main tanks. According to one theory, if not for the 38(t), Nazi Germany's invasion of France might have failed. It could be said that this tank changed the course of world history.
However, by the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union, it lacked both firepower and defense, and could not compete with the Soviet T-34. Nevertheless, the 38(t) was easy to handle and remained active until the end of the war, as the Marder was developed by diverting only the chassis to a self-propelled gun.

[About the work]
This is my first tank, and I did not use any mods.
[Caution]
·Shifting up at AG6 enables high speed running, but it places a heavy load on the crawler. The crawler can come off or explode.
·Crawler may come off when spinning turns or meandering maneuvers are performed.
·Sometimes some parts may explode.
·In rare cases, a kraken may occur, vibrate violently, and then explode.

[Low part count version(click here)]
This is a mobile version with a reduced number of parts for the crawler. However, the behavior is unstable and glitching is likely to occur. The following events can occur
·Sudden bouncing while running.
·Crawler suddenly comes off.
·The crawler is entangled, the entire body vibrates, and the vehicle flies through the air with mysterious force, then explodes.
