Panzer IIF

In Game Description
The Panzer II was in conception from 1934 and saw its first appearance in the Spanish Civil War. By the time Poland and France were attacked, more than 1.000 Panzer IIs could be fielded by the Germans. The vehicle itself was already dated at the beginning of WWII, but it was very low on cost and easy to manufacture. Many versions were made, all differently equipped for specific tasks. The Panzer IIF had thicker armor and increased firing rate, but it was still mostly used for reconnaissance. It made its last and most glorious appearance in North Africa under the command of Rommel.

Combat effectiveness
The Panzer IIF is a good alternative for both Italian tanks. It is better armoured and armed than M11/39 and almost twice as fast as M13/40. Though it remains a threat for the allied light tanks throughout the game, it outlives its usefulness almost as soon as it becomes available.
