General information

The Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf. C was the third production modification of the Pz.Kpfw.II tank. After the end of the Spanish Civil War, it became clear that the armour of early Pz.Kpfw.II models did not meet modern requirements and could be easily penetrated by field anti-tank artillery. Consequently, development began on an improved version of the vehicle. Its hull and turret armour were strengthened to 14.5 and 20 mm respectively, while the gun mantlet received a shield with extensions at the top and bottom, which protected the mantlet from shrapnel and bullets. The thickness of the viewports was also increased, a single-piece hatch replaced the double-hinged one on the turret roof, and a new TZF4/38 sight was installed. The tank saw action in nearly all theatres of war, including Africa, the USSR, and even some units participated in battles on the Western Front. A total of 364 Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf. C tanks were produced from July 1938 to March 1940.

Introduced in Update "Winged Lions", this special tank was a reward for watching streams on Twitch.tv and is no longer obtainable. It is identical to the standard Pz.II C. The Pz.II C can be a dangerous light tank in the hands of a skilled player. As most enemy tanks in the early ranks are rather weakly armoured, the Pz.II C can unleash a barrage of armour-piercing rounds at an opponent with its L/55 20 mm autocannon, crippling most tanks with a single ammunition clip. The tank also boasts decent mobility and a large crew (for a light tank), but suffers from very weak armour.
