>>9684381I mean, BT-42's entire design philosophy was basically "please don't shoot at our special tank, it's trying very hard"
>The BT-42s were used again during the major Soviet offensive in 1944. They were deployed in the defence of Vyborg. In one encounter, a Finnish BT-42 hit a Soviet T-34 18 times, failing even to immobilize the enemy vehicle[spoiler:lit]They were just captured light tanks with turrets replaced with UK provided howitzers, while they were immensely shit at antitank role, they were quite good at their intended role of rolling to frontlines, blowing up enemy fortifications and then rolling out before poorly supplied soviet troops managed to get any antitank weapons there[/spoiler:lit]
