The Pz.Kpfw. II is a German tier 2 light tank.
The last modification of the light Pz. II tank. The vehicle featured enhanced armor, the 2 cm KwK 38 gun and improved observation devices. A total of 524 vehicles were built from March 1941 through December 1942.
It is likely the best tank of its tier. It combines high speed with excellent maneuverability, and boasts 30mm of armor on the front hull and turret. Its 2cm KwK 30 L/55 auto-cannon can easily penetrate any other vehicle at its tier or below, and with the upgraded 2cm Flak 38 L/112, well-aimed shots can penetrate tier 3 tanks. As with most tanks of its tier, the PzKpfw 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 doubtless face this tank many times on the battlefield.
The Pz.Kpfw. II leads to the Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. E, and the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. G.

Historical Info
The Panzerkampfwagen II (Sd.Kfz.121) was larger than the Panzerkampfwagen I, but was still a light training tank. Due to the delays in production of the Panzerkampfwagen III and Panzerkampfwagen IV, the Panzer II entered combat service as a "stop-gap" vehicle for the expanding Panzertruppen. Similarly to the Panzerkampfwagen I, it did not prove very effective in combat, although it was the main battle tank of the Panzertruppen until 1940 and 1941.
Overall, the Panzerkampfwagen II was ineffective as a combat tank but was an important step in the development of more powerful panzers. When put in good hands, the Panzer II was a good light tank and an effective light reconnaissance vehicle that provided German designers and manufacturers with more tank building experience. As with any other panzer, its chassis became a base for the usual conversions, including the Marder II tank destroyer, Wespe self-propelled howitzers, and others. Additionally, other designs utilized the same components: the Flammpanzer II Flamingo/PzKpfw II(F) flamethrower tanks, the Schwimmpanzer II amphibious tank, and the Sturmpanzer II Bison self-propelled gun.
