By 1942, the German government had lost interest in the development of the tank, but the company still continued development in-house. Only four prototypes were made, and the T-15 never saw battle or entered active service. | |

The Pz.Kpfw. T 15 is a German tier 3 premium light tank.
This experimental light tank was developed at the Škoda factory in 1941–1943, with a total of five prototypes manufactured. The vehicle was never mass-produced, nor saw service.
Mostly disregarded by players, this tank is one little mean monster capable of taking out any tier 1-3 tank it gets to face from almost any angle, but it struggles against upper tiers. It's fast, accurate, mobile, and with an excellent view range/radio combination, it can still provide valuable recon information as a passive scout. Mind that in such role, crew training and a Camouflage Net is much needed, as it won't survive long against tier 5's. Fortunately, such encounters tend to be rare, and matchmaking often places it in tier 3 fights.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good hit points for a tier 3 tank
- Good agility
- Good accuracy, aim time, turret traverse speed, and elevation arc
- Good view range
- Extra signal range
Cons:
- The gun has below average damage and penetration
- Crews below 100% training on this tank may suffer
- Not to be used for scout rushes
- Scouting can be difficult when there are many other fast tanks
Performance
The T-15 is a fast light tank, which plays similarly to the Tetrarch. It has good view range and good HP, but the gun, while adequate against tier 3, starts to become useless against tier 4 and is completely useless against tier 5. Aim for weak points and then move. You are maneuverable, so make use of it. An idle T-15 is often a dead T-15. The radio range is excellent for its tier, so use Coated Optics and or a Binocular Telescope and spot in tier 4 & 5 battles. You can earn a lot of credits. If you find a good bush to spot from, take advantage of it so your arty and TDs have target. Make sure to move if you get spotted or you're not lighting anything. Binoculars and a camo net are the best equipment for this.
