For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Panzer 38(t).

Panzer 38(t) is a German light tank of Czechoslovak origin.

Description[]

Reliable, agile and well armed, but with crampy interior, the Panzer 38(t) was widely used by the Wehrmacht and other Axis powers in during the battles of early WW2. Compared with other German light tanks, such as Panzer I and Panzer II, the Panzer 38(t) fares a bit better at armoured warfare thanks to its 3,7cm ÚV vz. 38 tank gun (also known as Škoda A7). It is still somewhat inadequate against more heavily armoured tanks because of its weak armor, and was removed from frontline service in 1942.

In BattleGroup42, the light tank represent the Ausf. E with an increased frontal armour thickness to 50mm and an additional increase of side armour to 15mm. It can be found in many of the early war scenarios, such as 4005-Grebbeberg.

The Panzer 38(t) also has a munitions carrier variant in the form of Munitionspanzer 38(t).
