The fourth and final suspension configuration used for the Panzer II tanks was the five overlapping road wheel configuration termed Schachtellaufwerk by the Germans. This was used as the basis for the redesign of the Panzer II into a reconnaissance tank with high speed and good off-road performance. The Ausf. G was the first Panzer II to use this configuration, and was developed with the experimental designation VK 901. There is no record of the Ausf. G being issued to combat units, and only twelve full vehicles were built from April 1941 to February 1942 by MAN. The turrets were subsequently issued for use in fortifications. | The fourth and final suspension configuration used for the Panzer II tanks was the five overlapping road wheel configuration termed Schachtellaufwerk by the Germans.

The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. G is a German tier 3 light tank.
The German WWII light reconnaissance tank was a modification of the Pz. II tank. The vehicle featured an improved hull and suspension, a more powerful engine, and observation devices for the radio operator and driver, which increased the view range.
The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. G leads to the Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good penetration on final gun.
- High top speed.
- Top radio gives co-best-in-Tier-3 signal range (same radio in PzIC).
- Good Maneuverability.
Cons:
- Unacceptably long reload on top gun.
- Low accuracy.
- Bleeds off speed quickly in turns.
Performance
Even though disregarded by many players in favor of the Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. C, this tank can fight off tier 5 heavy tanks with it's 3cm autocannon. Even with the gruesome reload time, it's small size and good speed will help it escape a crossfire after firing a full clip of 8 rounds into an enemy.
Early Research
- The 2cm Flak 38L/112 gun and the FuG-7 and FuG Spr.1 radios carry over from the Pz.II and should be mounted if already researched.
- Prioritize the 2nd turret which must be mounted before next mounting the 3cm MK103 top gun.
- Tracks next followed by the 2nd engine.
- Last, but not least, mount the Tier-8 radio for co-best-in-tier signal range.
