Update 1.26 introduces a brand-new Czechoslovakian light tank line into the game. These vehicles have great potential for bold and exciting gameplay due to the twin autocannons that most of them are wielding.

Spot and Shoot in Bursts
Starting from Tier VIII, all light tanks in the new Czechoslovakian line have twin autocannons as their main armament. Autocannons have medium calibers and a rapid rate of fire: 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.
- Aim for vulnerable spots: Medium caliber means medium armor penetration.
- Mind your dispersion: Due to the physics of rapid-fire guns, dispersion steadily increases during a burst. For your convenience, there’s a shooting efficiency indicator.
- Do damage at close range: Accuracy also decreases as the distance to the target grows.
- Choose the ammo type wisely: Opt for higher pen and lower damage, average pen and average damage, or lower pen and higher damage.
- Flank enemies for phenomenal burst damage: If you load HE rounds and your target is not well-armored, you can literally rip it apart.
- Plan your retreat: Firing autocannons lowers your camo values; luckily, your mobility is enough to escape (especially if you think about your options in advance).
- Spot for the team: The new Czechoslovaks have decent base view ranges, so besides ripping enemies apart, they are good at the common light tanks' specialty: reconnaissance.
- Take notice: 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.
