BT-7(A) artillery
History
In 1934–1935 the design bureau of the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory developed this artillery modification of the BT-7. The new elliptical turret was equipped with the 76.2-mm CT-28 gun. In addition, some vehicles received new radio stations. A total of 155 artillery BT-7s were manufactured. The vehicles saw combat on the Karelian Isthmus, in Manchuria, and during the first period of the Great Patriotic War.
BT-7 art. In World of Tanks
The BT-7 Artillery is A Soviet tier 3 premium light tank.
BT-7 art. was given out as a Gift Tank to anyone logging into the game between August 12-19 2015 for NA or August 12-17 for ASIA and EU as part of Wargaming's 5th World of Tanks anniversary celebration. The BT-7 art. is much like the BT-7. Although not as fast, it more than makes up for this with its 76mm howitzer. It is capable of one-shotting most tier II tanks, devastating tier III tanks, and can still damage tier IV and V tanks when using HE. It can use AP rounds but HE has better penetration and damage values. With poor view range and poor hull traverse when going full speed, it isn't very good at active or passive scouting. But the BT-7 art. can derp ambush enemy tanks like the T67, and the rate of fire isn't very bad.
