The TKS z n.k.m. 20 mm is a Polish tier 2 premium light tank.
Developed in 1933 as an upgraded version of the TK-3 tankette. In 1939, to increase fire power, 24 vehicles were re-equipped with the 20-mm automatic wz. 38 FK-A gun. These tankettes were in action during the fall of 1939.
The TKS z n.k.m. 20 mm is the Polish tier 2 premium light tank (or "Tankette" to be precise) that can be obtained during the Polish tech tree introduction event.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very good camoflage values
- Good penetration for a Machine Cannon
- Very small silhouette, hard to hit from distance
- Cute
Cons:
- Practically no armour
- Frontal transmission, engine get damaged from the front
- One of the lightest tanks in World of Tanks, very vulnerable to ramming and getting stuck when driving into obstacles
- Off-Centered gun to the right makes shooting around left corners hard
- Only 400m Shooting range due to the gun being a Machine Cannon
Suggested Equipment
- Binocular Telescope is very important because of the bad view range
- Camouflage Net is good for being extra sneaky in a sneaky tank
- Improved ventilation Class 1 for a little bit better statistics

Historical Info
In 1939, up-arming of the tankettes with Nkm wz.38 FK 20 mm (0.79 in) machine guns began, but only 24 of these were completed before the outbreak of World War II.
The handful of tankettes armed with 20 mm guns were more effective against enemy tanks; in one instance on 18 September 1939 a 20 mm gunned TKS commanded by Podchorazy (Officer Candidate SFC) Roman Orlik destroyed three German Panzerkampfwagen 35(t) tanks.
