BT-42 Pack
Hello fellow commanders, I'm Anabel and Cardo. Previously, I showed you the news that the famous military anime work "The Girl and the Chariot" will have a second linkage event with wot, and today I will talk to you about one of the linkage vehicles that everyone is most concerned about - the BT-42 of the "Finnish Qin Demon", which is also a quite interesting level 5 light tank.
Small talk "BT-42"

BT-42 in 1943 during a training break
BT-42 is a very magical product, it is Finland on the captured Soviet BT-7 light tank modified into an "assault gun" - the Finns did classify BT-42 as such, because although the Finns at that time had tank troops, they actually did not know how to distinguish between tanks, assault guns, and self-propelled guns, and the Finnish high-level did not know how to use this technical weapon. The main gun of the BT-42 is a British 4.5-inch howitzer (the main gun of the Bishop and FV304), this guy's combat effectiveness is very poor, and the fuse of the armor-piercing bullet is very unreliable. However, due to its unique design, and the fanfic creations of later works (such as the girl and the chariot), its fame and popularity are still quite high.
The girl and the trio in the chariot
The description of the vehicle written by the WG tank group is as follows:
- "This tank was originally an S-series light tank, the BT-7, which was captured by enemy forces and converted into the BT-42 (aka Christie assault gun) between 1941 and 1942. The tank is relatively compact, so it can only accommodate the three female crew members who continue on the high school lane: Mika (commander), Aki (gunner and loader), and Mikko (driver). The BT-42 is best suited for close-quarters grappling, as it allows for the full use of its high-caliber howitzer, and the uplifting Kantele song "Shakyarvin Polka" further enhances the combat effectiveness of the tank crew. In the battle to assist the Oarai Girls' Gakuen against the university selection team at Continuing High School, the BT-42 had its own highlight moment, and it galloped without tracks with the help of the Christie suspension and was heroically destroyed. ”
Mission conditions
Its main gun and ammunition configuration
There is no Finnish system in the game, and the WG tank team assigned the BT-42 to the German system). In terms of firepower, the BT-42 uses a 114 mm caliber troll cannon, this gun has no AP shells, only two 370 damage HEAT, penetration depths of 105 and 125 respectively, and a 440 damage high-explosive shell. The use of this small troll cannon depends on the player's familiarity with the armor distribution of various common tanks, as well as the timing of the use of shells, and it is also necessary to cut the shells quickly. However, the BT-42 gun, because of its extremely slow bullet rate of 357 m/s, coupled with a rather poor turret rotation speed, a 5-degree depression angle, and relatively poor gun control, is quite operational... Even getting used to it takes some time.
Sneak up on Super Hellcat
But what is amazing is that the BT-42 can actually hang up, which is undoubtedly a remedy for its artillery control. In fact, the feel of the BT-42 cannon is comparative... Special, don't have high expectations, but treat it with the mentality of "touching the prize": if you win, it's good, if you wear it, it's good, if you don't win, it's okay, and the next shot continues. It's so entertaining, as long as it can have fun, you can't ask for such a highly maneuverable, crispy troll cannon tank with the specifications of those "traditional tanks". If you want to go around and kill the enemy, it is better to twist the turret to the corresponding angle in advance, and don't act in hilly areas, its cervical spondylosis really can't be cured, and it can only be made up for by moving.
Unarmoured, it all depends on movement and health
The BT-42 obviously has no protection, and the thickest part of the body is 20 mm armor, and the three Finnish witches are also easily injured. If BT-42 is in a civil war, you must cut HE to fight, and you must retreat when you see VK2801 105, IV H and small steamed buns playing with trolls, and they will really be devastating if they hit BT-42 in a row. In terms of mobility, the BT-42 is also relatively average, it is the slowest of all the level 5 light tanks, and the power-to-weight ratio is not bad. The track speed is a little sluggish, and there is no big problem with maneuverability anyway, but it definitely can't do the performance of the girl and the BT-42 in the tank. It's not hard to understand, after all, none of us are Mikko, and we don't have BGM to help us yet.
偷袭!
Personally, I think the BT-42 is a good recreational tank, it successfully combines a trolls and high mobility, and the advantages and disadvantages are very prominent, it is a lot of fun to play in battle, and it is not low in terms of your skills and positioning. Coupled with the linkage bonus of "Continue to High School", those who like it will like it very much. If you don't like to play with high-mobility trolls and are not interested in linkage, then there is no need to deliberately pursue this car. The car has a lot of personality and needs someone who understands it.
As for these 4 packs...
As for this linkage package, the performance of the 3 linkage tanks has also been analyzed with you before, and they are indeed not good in terms of combat effectiveness alone. The crew, decals and so on are complete, or it depends on your cooking ability, this is not worth it or not. I still say the same thing, according to your own needs and strength, don't deliberately pursue. I'm Anabel and Cardo, always looking out for the vital interests of our players.
