Commanders! Update 1.26 introduces a brand-new [b]Czechoslovakian light tank line[/b] into the game. These vehicles have great potential for bold and exciting gameplay due to the [b]twin autocannons[/b] that most of them are wielding. [previewyoutube=3TGfT4JdYuI;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Spot and Shoot in Bursts[/h2] Starting from Tier VIII, all light tanks in the new Czechoslovakian line have [b]twin autocannons[/b] as their main armament. Autocannons have [b]medium calibers[/b] and a [b]rapid rate of fire[/b]: up to 3,000 shots per minute. You can empty the guns' clip in one go, which takes just a few seconds. All of this gives a unique appeal to the gameplay of vehicles from the new branch. [list] [*] [b]Aim for vulnerable spots:[/b] Medium caliber means medium armor penetration. [*] [b]Mind your dispersion:[/b] Due to the physics of rapid-fire guns, dispersion steadily increases during a burst. For your convenience, there’s a [b]shooting efficiency indicator[/b]. [*] [b]Do damage at close range:[/b] Accuracy also decreases as the distance to the target grows. [*] [b]Choose the ammo type wisely:[/b] Opt for higher pen and lower damage, average pen and average damage, or lower pen and higher damage. [*] [b]Flank enemies for phenomenal burst damage:[/b] If you load HE rounds and your target is not well-armored, you can literally rip it apart. [*] [b]Plan your retreat:[/b] Firing autocannons lowers your camo values; luckily, your mobility is enough to escape (especially if you think about your options in advance). [*] [b]Spot for the team:[/b] The new Czechoslovaks have decent base view ranges, so besides ripping enemies apart, they are good at the common light tanks' specialty: reconnaissance. [*] [b]Take notice:[/b] Twin-barreled tank mechanics don't apply to twin autocannons, as their extremely high rate of fire negates consecutive/salvo shot mechanics. Plus, your rounds from both guns will be headed to a single point on the enemy vehicle rather than to two separate points. [/list] [h2]Meet the New Czechoslovaks[/h2] [table noborder=1] [tr] [td width="80%"][b]Škoda T 17[/b]: This Tier VII light tank is the only one in the new branch without the signature twin autocannons, but it is sort of a transition vehicle. Its single autoloader gun has a clip of 5 rounds and a very short intra-clip reloading time.[/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39263509/90bdd8181dca65967a9b91e36eb8d478ce8ad101.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td width="80%"][b]Vz. 64 Blesk[/b]: This Tier VIII predator is the first in the line with the twin autocannons and the new and unusual things they drag in—like firing in controlled bursts (minding your increasing dispersion) and the shooting efficiency indicator.[/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39263509/c1d508a58c6327c44bd0b25db3098000287f76ca.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td width="80%"][b]LPT-67 Šelma[/b]: Sitting (most likely, prowling) at Tier IX, this light tank has the same gameplay formula as its predecessor. It's a decent scout, an absolute scourge of thin-armored foes, and a menace to those who have at least one medium-sized weak spot.[/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39263509/fcb66f8a4c9b4c2b7046451f926315d4a95229c6.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td width="80%"][b]Vz. 71 Tesák[/b]: This tank at the top of the branch wields a pair of powerful 57-mm autocannons and by virtue of its tier, is the most dangerous enemy-shredder in the family. Its introduction will surely make waves in the meta. Try to ride them![/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39263509/a8d0b702a07cd7641907fa1432d441beee1feaa5.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [/table] Get to know the new autocannon Czechoslovaks better!
