The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) (LT vz. 38) was originally a Czechslovak tank of pre-World War II design, created as a replacement for older Skoda LT-35. After the Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany in Munich Agreement of 1938, it was adopted by the German Army and its allies, seeing service in the invasions of Poland, France, and Soviet Union. Production ended in 1942, when its armament was deemed inadequate. In total, over 1400 were manufactured. The chassis continued to be produced for Hetzer and Marder III tank destroyers, turret-less assault guns. The turret was also used as a pillbox.
The tank is carried on the s.Sp. flatcar.

Historical Picture | |
The turret was frequently used to make pillboxes as it became obsolote. The bunker below the turret offered superior protection and a much lower profile since it was dug down. The foundation can be either made of concrete or wood which can be damaged in the game. It could still be used against infantry to great effect.
