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.
IT IS INTERESTING
Since there is no Finnish system in the game, the WG tank team assigned the BT-42 to the German system (Finland was also a German client state anyway). BT-42 has also been weakened once recently, reducing its DPM and gun control, which is a little sad, because the original BT-42 data is really good, and it can be said that it is a new level 5 small overlord. Its 114mm squirt cannon has no AP, only two 105/125 worn HEAT, which I think is enough to deal with a car of the same class (of course, you still have to use its maneuver to grab the side). 57 deep and 440 single-shot HE, it is also possible to play the common 4-6 level crispy trolley. It's just that after being cut, the tank's loading speed and gun control are more ugly, and the turret speed and gun depression angle are also more uncomfortable, so I think driving the BT-42 "hunting" must be a test operation.
Among the girls and chariots, the BT-42 has an extremely amazing performance
The defense and survivability of the BT-42 do not need to be looked at at all. This guy is all supported by maneuverability, but WG controls its top speed and maintains its high power-to-weight ratio (33.33 hp/ton), it is foreseeable that the acceleration and speed retention ability of the BT-42 will be very good, but if it is a drag racing alone... Forget it, after all, the top speed is suppressed, and there is no way to switch the wheeled mode (and the wheeled mode is basically not able to go off-road, at most run in Xicheng). The tank's other stats are not very prominent, which is normal for a Tier 5 tank. Personally, I am looking forward to the BT-42, which is not only a rare production car, but also has a good performance in girls and chariots.
If it's a linkage car, it's even better
If it's a phase II linkage car, that's really great. Please note that all of my comments above are based on the current WG test data plan on January 5, 2024, and may change in the future. I will continue to monitor and bring you new trends. I'm Anabel and Cardo, always looking out for the vital interests of our players.
