 '''Pz.Kpfw.38(t)''' was the German designation for the Czech LT vz.38, which fell into German hands after the occupation of Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1939. '''Ausf. A''', the first series production modification of the LT vz.38 tanks, were the first 150 vehicles produced from May to November 1939. They were originally intended for the Czechoslovakian army but were seized by the Germans at the factory before being delivered to the troops. After testing the vehicles, they not only pressed the already built LT vz.38 tanks into service but also continued their production, constantly modernising them. The Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf. A participated in the Polish, French, and Balkan campaigns, where it proved to be a very effective combat vehicle. The last campaign in which the tank took part was Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the USSR), where it became apparent that the machine could no longer effectively conduct combat operations, as its armour and armament were significantly inferior to the new Soviet medium and heavy tanks.

-The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf. A is a small beginner's tank. It boasts a 37 mm cannon, which can't easily get through most armour at its rank. It is primarily a support tank, helping the larger tanks push forward. The armour is not very heavy, and most cannons and autocannons can get through it. Always try to make use of your gun depression, hiding your hull behind terrain and obstacles, while exposing only your turret to the enemy.
+The '''Pz.38(t) A''' was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. Although classified as a light tank, in terms of armour protection it can rival most medium tanks. In terms of combined armour protection, survivability, and firepower, the vehicle is versatile in combat and can easily take on a leading role in offensives, hold defensive positions, be involved in flanking manoeuvres, or be used in secondary roles. Always try to make use of your gun depression, hiding your hull behind terrain and obstacles, while exposing only your turret to the enemy.

 Despite its retirement as a front-line weapon, the Panzer 38(t) tank still saw usage as a reconnaissance vehicle and an anti-partisan vehicle in German-controlled territory. The usage of the chassis in different roles freed up many turrets to serve as fortifications to be used in a variety of locations, such as the Atlantic Wall, which proved well in against infantry attacks as its small 37 mm cannon was inadequate against the increasing armour of Allied tanks.
 ===Other countries===
 The Panzer 38(t), as a widely exported tank model, also saw service with Romania, Kingdom of Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, and Iran. Sweden was one of the few countries that were granted a license to construct the Panzer 38(t) under their designation as the Stridsvagn m/41 after their initial batch were seized by the Germans with the takeover of Czechoslovakia. Deliveries of the first batch of the initial tank model started in December 1942 and ended in August 1943. Then the second batch of 122 units was ordered in mid-1942 for more of these tanks due to urgent demand, the second batch would have the 50 mm armour plate thickness and with a redesigned interior and better engine to compensate the weight increase. 104 of the second batch was delivered before production ended in March 1944. Some of these tanks would be converted into sav M/43 assault guns or armoured personnel carriers during and after the war. Peru was also another prolific user of the Panzer 38(t), using them in the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War in 1941 as the mainstay of their tank battalions. The tanks added with the lack of capable anti-tank weapons in Ecuadorian forces made the Panzer 38(t) proved very well in the war and even stayed in service for more than 50 years before being retired.

-As a light tank, the {{PAGENAME}} accelerates decently and is able to reach its top speed of 46 km/h in a dozen of seconds. Braking happens quickly but the hull wobbles for a full second afterwards. The lack of neutral steering makes turning on the spot slow (2 km/h): make sure to build a little speed before turning and you'll turn much faster (12 km/h). The reverse speed (-7 km/h) is average: it will not get you out of a dangerous situation quickly but isn't a handicap either. Turning in reverse is equally slow (-3 km/h). The {{PAGENAME}} reaches 14 km/h when fording, 18 km/h when driving uphill with some speed built-up but a mere 4 km/h uphill from a stop. The narrow tracks will grant you a decent mobility on hard terrain (solid ground, roads) but poor mobility on soft terrain (mud, snow, sand). Light obstacles (fences and bushes) are not a problem but medium to large obstacles (posts, trees, concrete blocks and parked vehicles) will reduce your mobility: avoid them.
