The Pz II is a German tier 2 light tank

This tank combines good speed with excellent maneuverability, and boasts 30mm 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 its tier or below, and well-aimed shots can penetrate most tier 3 tanks. As with most tanks of its tier, the Pz.Kpfw. II is easily upgradable and it's a tank that is a lot of fun to fight in, especially as the player's skills improve. A popular vehicle, you will doubtlessly face this tank many times on the battlefield.

Performance

This is a fun fighting tank. If you were using the Breda on the Leichttraktor then you should find this tank very similar. It can be very effective in urban environments or anywhere it can engage in short-range combat. At long range the auto-cannon is far less effective, as it has to re-aim after every two-shot burst. It carries a good amount of ammo though, so you can afford to utilize some "spray and pray" tactics. Due to this tactic coupled with its good aim time, an Enhanced Gun Laying Drive is a little useless. The Panzer II's frontal armour is above average and can easily deflect many shots from rivals that are using auto-cannons.

This tank is great fun when fighting up close. Its high RoF coupled with decent pen means it can go food (or tank)processor on other puny tier 2s. Well-aimed shots can pen nearly anything for same-tiered tanks. Although it may have somewhat sluggish speed, it's still enough to keep up with the pace of the battle. Your good armor (30 mm) can bounce quite a few shots when angled correctly. Try to avoid sniping; the autocannon's pen greatly diminishes over distance, and your accuracy is bad as well, The T18 is also a liability, but good flanking skills can overcome it with relative ease. Shooting the T18 in the front upper glacis plate will however ensure penetration and in turn cause most early players to back off due to sudden penetration from the front of the supposedly impenetrable front of a T18, giving you sufficient time to run or possibly even shoot the sides of a retreating T18. Allow M3 Stuarts to pass by you and shoot their rear or sides , as their weak spots in front cant be reliably penetrated due to their high speed. Overall, this tank is very well-rounded.

You don't need the added weight capacity from the suspension upgrade on this tank, but it adds 5 deg/s to traverse speed, so it's definitely worth getting.

With 120 RPM and 11 damage, you can do over 1,200 DPM, which is astoundingly high for tier 2.

Modules prioritaires

Nothing carries over from the Leichttraktor.
First research the 2 cm KwK 38 L/55 for faster rate of fire, aim time, and accuracy.
You may want to continue on and get the 2 cm Flak 38 L/112, which features much improved penetration and accuracy.
Next it's a toss-up between the engines and the suspension.
Note that the turret upgrade also improves the reload time, in addition to increasing view range and hit points.
Go from there.
