Pros
- 76mm cannon with APHE rounds
- Excellent dynamics
- Scouting and repair assistance ability
Cons
- Weak armour
- Small crew
The pre-war Soviet BT-7’s stood out as reliable, manoeuvrable vehicles that worked especially well when attacking in conjunction with infantry. However, the 45mm cannon had insufficient destructive potential for combat with serious enemy fortifications. In 1939 two experimental BT-7 models were tested with a more powerful 76mm cannon: the L-11, which was then installed on early KV-1s, and the F-32, the precursor to the gun mounted on the first T-34s. The L-11 turned out to be too large to be installed on the BT-7’s small turret, but the F-32 not only fit well on the tank’s turret, but also beat the competing gun in a number of tactical and technical characteristics. The committee unequivocally recommended the BT-7 (F-32) modification for serial production, but, due to a series of factors, the tank never saw mass production, and only the experimental model was ever produced.
Many tank commanders in War Thunder always keep a light BT-7 in their “deck,” even in high-ranked battles – the speed of the BT tanks makes it possible to reach a capture point first or occupy a “tactical” position and hit the enemy in the side or rear as they pass by. In combined battles, the BT-7 makes it easy to earn Spawn Points for a favourite attacker or bomber very early . However, there is a downside: the 45mm cannon can’t handle relatively serious enemies. The BT-7 (F-32), the prize for the first stage of the summer marathon, solves this problem. This nimble tank now has a cannon with excellent APHE rounds that can take down most opponents head-on!
With its new 76mm cannon, the new BT-7 is being added to the start of rank II. The introduction of the new cannon has transformed it from a timid scout into an impertinent thug that can not only reach a capture point first, but also easily hold it until allies arrive. Its armour is still weak, and its crew is still small, so this tank will always need to shoot first. Its unarguable advantages include good acceleration, decent top speed, compact dimensions, scouting, and allied repair assistance... well, and the cannon, of course!
You can get the BT-7 (F-32) by completing the Operation H.E.A.T. tasks. It’s a great tank for lively shootouts in ranks II and III.

this is one way to put the BT42 to the corner
BT42 should either go in the Swedish tech tree, or in a miniature Finnish tech tree as a tab in the Swedish tech tree.
Pytor_, should go to germany currently due to all finnish vehicles being in that tree
it's enough to make a grown man cry
And that's okay
This gonna be a serious Trollwagon
So a Russian Pakwagen, I easily expect this to soar in marketplace value.
Eh.... I don't think it will get that much attention... But we gotta watch phly play it first and then we will judge
Cartoon_JR, True, but im very interested in obtaining it.
Being a BT driver in 1941 was probably one of the worst jobs in the world.
weird way to spell best
MR_GUTSY, I agree
HELL YEAH
Now we pretty much have the model (including the gun but on another tank) to make the BT-7A as well! I will grind this thing for sure.
Perfection
This is the next PakPuma, I can't wait!
I take this over a puma anytime.
Peter_Gunn, a puma or a pakpuma? major difference
"In combined battles, the BT-7 makes it easy to earn Spawn Points for a favourite attacker or bomber very early " So, they acknowledge the bt-7 --> pe8 issue? It's way too easy for russians to just spam that and get 5 kills before any other nation is able to get fighters up.
Instead of raising costs of planes outright, they could add an additional requirement for spawning in one after capping. Like capping still gives you enough points to get a plane, but you must perform another action first like spotting or assisting an ally. Just so you can't immediately j-out into a plane right after capping.
