Pz. Kpfw. II

The Pz. Kpfw. II is a Tier II German Light Tank.

The A, B, C and F models were produced from March 1937 through April 1940 and from March 1941 through December 1942, with a total of 1,637 vehicles built.

This tank combines good speed with excellent maneuverability, and boasts 30 mm of armor on the front hull and turret. It's one of the few tanks in the game that can only use auto-cannons. Its 2 cm Flak 38 L/112 auto-cannon can penetrate nearly every other vehicle at it's tier and below, and well aimed shot can penerate most tier III tanks. As with most tanks of its tier, the Pz. Kpfw. II is easily upgradable, and it's a tank thats a lot of fun to fight in, especially as the players skills improve. A popular vehicle that you will undoubtably find in many low tier battles.

The Pz. Kpfw. II leads to the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. G and the Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf. A.

Personal Review
Personally I really loved this little tank. With some angling, you can bounce plenty of shells using the armor, especially to newbies unaware of weak points. The gun, is really good up close, OK at medium range, and terrible at ranges of 350+ metres. The mobility overall is good, it's not amazingly fast, but is not slow either, the traverse is good meaning you are able to reposition for angling quickly. The view range and signal range are pretty standard for a tank of this tier. All in all a great Tier II tank, would recommend people keeping it as a bit of a Tier II party tank to have fun in. Though most people will just be progressing through.

Cons
