Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Pz.Kpfw. I


II

AnnoG53_PzI.png

3600

The Pz.Kpfw. I is a German tier 2 light tank.

The Pz. I Ausf. A was the first mass-produced German tank. In 1935, the design was upgraded with an elongated hull and a more powerful engine. Mass production of this version, the Pz. I Ausf. B, eventually totaled 675 tanks. The standard armament was weak, but some tanks were upgraded on the Spanish Civil War battlefields to accommodate 20-mm guns.

The Pz.Kpfw. I marks the end of its German light line.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • High flexibility: good gun handling and depression
  • 2cm Breda gun has high burst capability with relatively short reload
  • Agile in top configuration, good hull traverse and acceleration
  • Small turret silhouette, not easy to hit when hulldown
  • Only sees tier II battles


Cons:


  • Limited mobility due to low speed limit and mediocre ground resistance values
  • Only armed with unreliable autocannons: underwhelming penetration, low accuracy and hard-coded effective range limit
  • Weak armor. HE and other autocannons can finish you instantly
  • Turret is mounted far off the centreline to the right side
  • Only 2 crew members, any casualty renders the tank barely playable


Performance

Armor is not bouncy to lower tier guns and most autocannons and so to make up for it some angling can be used if stuck out in the open with no other choice but absorbing damage. However it rarely works so try not to be caught in the open in this tank. The tank is best used behind cover and popping out occasionally to get shots off at a distracted enemy. The tank also has enough mobility to relocate at a reasonable rate, but give it enough time to accelerate as it lacks horsepower without the top engine.

The guns are subpar for even tier 1 but with smart planning can be devastating. The Breda is advised due to the fact that most high threat tier 2 tanks have armor that is completely immune to the KwK 38's 23mm nominal pen, most notably the tank's rival, the Panzer II even from the sides. The Breda, while having a somewhat longer reload in between shots (but better full-clip reload rate), is still better due to the extra 7mm of penetration. It is recommended to stick to close ranges and learn of armor zones and weakspots, as 30mm of pen could actually go through most targets by targeting thinner plates such as sides, hatches or cupolas. However, some targets, especially the French light tanks are practically immune from your autocannon fire. Basically choose the Breda for general usage, and only take the KwK if you are sure to use it to its strengths (better at peek-a-booing due to rapid fire, penetration could be brought on par by resorting to APCR ammo, but has terrible accuracy even for this tier).

Overall, while this tank is inferior to most tier II tanks, it can really do some damage. Stick to cover, and use peek-a-boo tactics to make the most of the lowish pen and accuracy, yet decent DPM. Treat this tank like a buffed tier I tank, with more speed and better profile. With a few games you should soon be able to get to its next upgrade: the Pz 1C.


Early Research

  • Breda carries over from Leichttraktor. Mount immediately.
  • The Kw.K. 38 can be researched from other German LTs; although both are Tier-1 guns in this Tier-2 tank so you are still undergunned.
  • The turret upgrade doesn't put on any extra weight and improves many parameters by a bit.
  • Next get the tracks for weight capacity, then the engine.
  • Go from there.

Historical Info

The Panzer 1 was developed by the Germans in 1934. It was supposed to be a training tank for the rapidly expanding panzerwaffe. Due to a shortage of modern combat tanks, the Germans put the Panzer 1 into combat where it fared badly. It was quickly withdrawn by late 1941 after more Panzer IIIs and IVs came into production. Nevertheless, the Panzer 1 was the first ever German tank to be used operationally in the Panzer Force.
