A Tankette update would be fun!

[karnitin75]

Most nations at the start of ww2 utilised small Tankettes armed with machine-guns or lower calibre AT guns. The L3/33 CC is already in-game and is loved, not due to its powerful gun or any other immense qualeties or being a good vehicle. But its small.

So i thaught why not have a update dedicated to Tankettes, Just for the purpose of having fun. As some Tankettes had variants with somewhat decent AT capabilities for their BR, i will look at these vehicles.

Tankettes such as:

Carden Loyd Carrier was adopted by several countries around the world, Such as Britain (of course) Aswell as Belgium, Netherlands and Sweden aswell as Finland.

It later lead development to the Universal carrier that was the platform for a great many different weapons and prototypes. Such as a Australian 3-Inch Mortar carrier.

(I am not an expert on the Universal carrier so more info or variants that would fit into war thunder would be great!)

Germany: Panzer I Ausf. C
Panzer I Ausf. C: fast reconnaissance tank with light anti-tank armament, weak firepower, excellent mobility, and historical value as the only true Panzer I missing from the game. (Suggestion)

Sweden:
Strv m/37: a small, reliable Swedish light tank based on the Czech AH-IV tankette, armed with twin “8 mm Ksp m/36 Strv” machine guns loaded with Tungsten Cored AP. Its Fast, highly mobile, with thin armor and a two-man crew. (Suggestion)

Please come with more Tankettes you would like added in this fun idea of a update, Im mostly an expert on swedish vehicles so any help with this post would be very fun!

TKS (20mm NKM wz. 38FK) - Better in all ways

History

The origins of the TKS with the 20mm NKM wz. 38FK can be traced back to the early development of Polish tankettes in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Poland had purchased and studied the British Carden-Loyd Mk.VI tankette, which became the basis for the domestic TK series. While the original TK-3 and later TKS were designed primarily as reconnaissance vehicles armed with machine guns, rapid developments in armored warfare soon exposed the limitations of t…

The long awaited 0.3 BR update, surely some day it becomes real

[karnitin75]

Perhaps it should work like the French Short 37mm tanks where u have to reach rank II to use them so new Players wont have to suffer✨

Isn’t it obvious?

A universal carrier with a Boys AT rifle!

It is seriously a crime we can’t play with such iconic rifle! It the same case as the 15mm Besa, very dusty and barely touched.

Specially since it did see a lot of vehicle mounts, more specifically armored cars, which are very underepresented currently.

Im sure we can ask for enlisted to borrow us the specifications of the rifle pretty easily.

I can also add for the Japanese tree, the late production Type 92 heavy armoured car were equipped with 13.2mm autocannons, descended from the 13.2mm hotchkiss which can be found in the P.7.T AA or M14/41 (47/40).

Also Italy did the same, there is a 13mm L3 in the forums, same lineage and same penetration values as 13.2mm hotchkiss too.

That would be awesome; then Japan could get half and 3 quarters of all the tanks they are missing. Or vehicles classified as Armored Cars, despite being a Tankette.
