Der Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f) ist ein deutscher premium schwerer Panzer der Stufe 4.

Während des Westfeldzugs erbeuteten die deutschen Truppen 161 schwere Panzer des Typs B1 bis. Sämtliche Fahrzeuge wurden umgerüstet und erhielten deutsche Funkausstattung und zweiteilige Luken für die Kommandantenkuppeln. Diese Beutepanzer wurden unter der Bezeichnung Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f) geführt. Ein Teil der Fahrzeuge mit ausgebauter Bewaffnung wurde zu Übungszwecken verwendet. 16 Fahrzeuge wurden in Haubitzen-Selbstfahrlafetten umgebaut. Der Großteil wurde zu Flammpanzern umgerüstet.

While classified as a heavy tank, its maneuverability rivals that of medium tanks in its own tier, but finds itself hampered by a low top speed. Its armor is more than enough for its tier. Its fast reloading gun has little problem destroying most tanks in its tier, but will struggle when facing better armored foes.

This tank was removed from the in-game store in February 2012, following the introduction of the French Tech Tree. Sometimes it appears in the gift shop as part of special packages.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• High rate of fire,very short aim time and good gun depression

• 112 rounds of ammunition, which is enough for every situation.

• Only sees tier 4 battles, unlike the regular B1

• Thick hull sides bounce most weapons of their tier when angled and high hit points

• Very good track traverse speed and adequate acceleration

Cons:

• Gun lacks penetration with standard rounds

• Enormous side profile attracts artillery/TD fire

• Frontal armor retains the 45mm weak spot

• Thin turret is easily penetrated up close, and turret hits can knock out the commander, who is also loader and gunner

• Exposed tracks which don't absorb many shots

Performance

The low penetration of the standard rounds means you will use premium rounds often, if not always. But as long as you hit and penetrate, you will still make a low profit, at least with a premium account. Don’t shoot Matildas at long ranges, or Hetzers from the front, as you will mostly bounce. Both are a big threats to you, as they can penetrate you. Also the M3 Lee and the T-28 will penetrate you, but so can you. All tank destroyers can pen you. Beware of the Luchs, as it has ultra high penetration with the 3cm. A good way to avoid damage is to angle 45°, and drive forward and backwards. That makes aiming for your turret and frontal weakspot very hard, but your very short aim time and the small aiming circle allows you to constantly hit the enemy.

As you have two radio operators, you can go for Relaying and Signal Boosting, which may help your team since radios at tier III and IV are frequently too weak to reach across some maps without assistance. Also, when you use optics and max you crew in viewrange, you will have 382m viewrange, which you can even boost with ventilation and brothers in arms. Your team benefits from you much. The downside of this is that this tank makes a poor crew trainer for other heavy tanks. It is missing both gunner and loader crew slots, and the double radio operators are not required on any other German heavy tank.

As your aimtime is very short, you may not want to install the gun laying drive. Instead a heavy spall liner will greatly increase your survivability, while a toolbox will help with the frequent broken tracks you encounter, and improved ventilation will further boost your tanks overall stats.

Again a reminder: Since the B2 has special matchmaking, you may only platoon with other B2s, T2 Lights or Valentine II. All other tier 4s may bring you at least into tier 5 battles.

Overall this is a highly fun tank to play as you will always be top tier and thus in a good position to influence the match and obtain victory. At Tier IV the concept of aiming at weakspots (or even the existence of those) is not that widespread, so your armor can actually hold up for quite a bit. It is highly suited for seal clubbing and if you don't go full retard on APCR and actually use AP versus weakly armored targets you can easily still earn a profit unlike with the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J.

Historical Info

German armored forces in World War II continually suffered from numerical inferiority, leading them to make frequent use of captured Allied tanks. After France's surrender in June of 1940, 160 B1 and B1 bis main battle tanks were used by the Germans as the B2 740 (f). The B1 bis was an improved version of the B1 tank, featuring a 75mm howitzer mounted on the right hull front as well as a fully traversing one-man turret with a 47mm gun. Front and side armor reached 60mm thickness, making the B1 bis one of the most heavily armed and armored tanks of its time. Of the models that fell into German hands, about half were modified into flame tanks or self-propelled guns, with the remainder re-deployed as normal tanks. These too underwent some revision, as their wireless radios were replaced with the German model. A number of tanks also had an access hatch added to the turret top, and a concrete block added to the right hull front to prevent shot ricochet. Other differences to the French Army version included a jack and hoist arm carried outside the tank, with additional German equipment mounted on fenders.

With the outbreak of war with the Soviet Union in June of 1941, the B1 bis served in a command and fire support role for flame tanks, helping to crush Russian defenses. Units equipped with B1 bis tanks were also stationed on the British Channel Islands as part of the occupying army. Finally, and most significantly, Free French Forces recaptured a number of B1 bis tanks towards the end of the war, and used them to great success in mopping up the remaining German forces.
