The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. J is a German tier 3 premium light tank.
Reconnaissance tank with reinforced armor. The vehicle was a further development of the Pz.Kpfw. II. In October 1939, a preproduction batch was ordered, and the first prototype was built in July 1940. From 1943 through 1944, seven vehicles were used by the 12th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front. A total of 22 tanks were manufactured.
This tank was given as a gift at GamesCom 2012.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Decent burst damage and very quick magazine reload
- Great gun depression (-10 degrees)
- Exceptionally strong armor, greatly rewards angling and sidescraping
- Large hitpoint pool
- Preferential MM, won't see Tier 5 opponents
Cons:
- Virtually useless standard ammunition, use of APCR (premium) ammo is mandatory
- Very poor accuracy
- Low speed and sluggish mobility
- Very vulnerable to some Tier 4 (and even Tier 3) guns, whose penetration is enough to defeat its armor
- Incredibly expensive to play due to its overreliance on premium ammo
Performance
Though many seem to see the Ausf. J as a fun-tank, it can become a deadly weapon in tier III matches. With a great armor of 80/50/50, it will be hard for your enemies to penetrate you. You won´t do much damage, but you can spot and take the damage for your teammates, while they, especially TD's and artillery can shoot safely from behind positions. Using APCR allows you to deal with enemies much more effectively, though it becomes expensive very quickly.
If the unfortunate situation happens where 2 Pz. II Ausf. J's go head to head then the game will get very expensive for both. Due to the flat nature of the tanks side armour, coupled with the thickness of 50mm, shooting the flat sides can prove to be challenging and costly at best due to the bad mobility. The 46mm of penetration on the VERY expensive APCR ammunition will give you a 30/40% chance of doing damage to the completely flat side armour which can prove to be difficult due to the bad mobility.
The only other way for a Pz. II Ausf. J to kill another is to shoot down on its UFP. As it is only 25mm thick, if shot down on (maybe by backing onto a hill as you do tend to just face hug at end-game situations) you can make short work of what health is left.
