| |
| − | <!--In the description, the first part should be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.-->

| |
| − | The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.51 "Cold Steel"]].

| − | == General info ==
| |
| − | === Survivability and armour ===
| |
| − | <!--Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?
| |
| − | | |
| − | If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pz.35(t) has a key advantage over most low battle rated tanks which is found also on French tanks - it has 25 mm front armour on the hull and turret which makes it immune to 12.7 mm machine guns that are commonplace at its tier, however, the sides can be penetrated with such weapons. It has four crew with decent spacing between them, but a far cry from the Panzer III/IV, so while it can save you sometimes, don't rely on it, especially if a Russian APBC or British 2-pdr is coming your way.

| − | {{tankMobility|abMinHp= 186|rbMinHp= 106|<!--AoAweight=(optional) -->}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | With a top speed of 33 km/h and a power-to-weight ratio of 11.43 hp/ton in realistic and simulator battles, the {{PAGENAME}} has reasonably good mobility for a reserve tank. With a top speed almost 20 km/h faster than yours, Stuart and BT tanks are noticeable enemies as they will flank you quickly.

| − | === Main armament ===

| − | <!--Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.-->

| − | {{main|KwK 34(t) (37 mm)}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pz.35(t) is armed with the 37 mm KwK 34(t), which has an APC-HE shell with 49 mm pen and a Tier 1 unlockable APCBC shell with 52 mm pen. It also possesses an 85 mm penetration APCR shell for more stubborn armoured targets such as B1 bis.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The tank has a 7.92 mm MG37(t), which is a decent gun to hose down flak trucks but not good for much else.

| − | == Usage in battles ==
| |
| − | <!--Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics.

If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).-->
| |
| − | | |
| − | The tank is average in most respects, aside from frontal immunity to .50cals. Since many enemies are faster than you, it is advisable to bunker down and ambush people. Mobility is good enough that you can actually get to ambush positions while they are still relevant to the match.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While you can penetrate B1 bis from the side, it is advisable to just avoid them, since APCR post penetration damage is currently poor. It does not up-tier well if used in 1.3+ lineups since Valentines and B1 ters are practically immune to the APCR as well.

| |
| − | '''Pros:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Gun is decent for tier penetration wise
| |
| − | * Stock and unlockable ammunition has HE filler for better reliability to destroy tanks in one shot
| |
| − | * Mobility and acceleration are decent for the tier
| |
| − | * Frontally immune to 12.7 mm guns, unusual for a reserve tank
| |
| − | * Reserve tank status means it receives infinite free repairs
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Cons:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Many other tanks are faster than it
| |
| − | * Gun is inadequate against even basic enemies and is woefully inadequate in an up-tier
| |
| − | * Armour won't stop anything bigger than a .50 cal
| |
| − | * Survivability, when penetrated, is not great, when compared to the Pz III/IV

| − | The Czechoslovakian main battle tank prior to German occupation, 398 were built between 1936 and 1939. They called it the Light Tank vz (model) 35. Another 126 were exported to Romania in 1936, where they were called the R-2. The Germans seized 219 35 models, with another 79 kept by Slovakia. The 6th Pz Bde used the 35 in the invasion of Poland. In France and Russia, the 6th Panzer Division used it. It was no longer in service, at least as a tank, after 1941. The Romanian ground forces used the Pz.35(t) tank until the end of the war.
