Vz. 64: The Future 8th-Level Czechoslovakian Light Tank in World of Tanks
The Vz. 64, a Czechoslovakian Tier VIII light tank, recently entered the WoT EU supertest. Like its predecessors, it boasts twin autocannons (albeit with a more modest 37 mm caliber) and features a low silhouette, allowing for sneaky gameplay. With base forward and reverse speeds of 60 km/h and 21 km/h, respectively, this nimble tank excels in mobility. Its close-range accuracy and burst damage potential make it formidable.

Mechanics:
- Vz. 64 features twin guns with a unique firing system. They alternate fire with a 0.05-second reload between shells, resulting in high rate of fire but minimal damage per shell. The new parameter, damage per second, emphasizes sustained output. Penetrating each shell is crucial for maximizing damage. The tank’s accuracy and armor penetration encourage aggressive play behind enemy lines.
- Additionally, the tank will have a new sight indicating the magazine’s status.
Other Notes:
- New mechanics will also appear on Tier 9 and 10 tanks in the Czechoslovakian LT sub-branch.
- The transitional Tier 7 tank won’t have these mechanics, but the Tier 8 premium tank will also feature twin guns with similar mechanics.
