-The '''Pz.II C DAK''' (Deutsches Afrikakorps) was a variant of the Pz.II C used by the Afrika Korps, a German expeditionary force in Africa during the North Africa campaign. Initially sent as a defensive force to help Italy defend its African colonies, the formation fought in Africa under several names from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. The Panzer II C (DAK) primarily operated in the desert with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Panzer Regiment, 21st Division. The cooling air intake and exhaust apertures were expanded in these tanks, and the radiator fan was replaced with a high-performance version to cope with the intense desert temperatures. In 1942, four poles were installed around the turret cupola to serve as a base for a Fla-MG anti-aircraft machine gun.

 Introduced in the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41, the premium Pz.II C (DAK) is a unique historical vehicle that is identical in performance to the standard Pz.II C variant. It is painted in desert camouflage to reflect its involvement in the North African campaign. Despite the modifications made to the Pz.II C (DAK) during service, they are not actively portrayed in the game. In general, the Pz.II C (DAK) is a dangerous light tank in the hands of an experienced player. As most enemy tanks in the early ranks are rather weakly armoured, the Pz.II C (DAK) can unleash a barrage of armour-piercing shells with the Kampfwagenkanone (KwK) 30 L/55 20 mm autocannon, crippling most opponent tanks with a single ammunition clip. The Pz.II C (DAK) could be acquired for free during the [[wt:en/news/4994-special-german-unity-day-en|2017 "German Unity Day"]] event.

-The '''Panzerkampfwagen II Ausführung C Deutsches Afrikakorps (Panzer II C DAK)''' ([[Abbreviations#.28DE.29_Sd.Kfz._Index|Sd.Kfz. Index:]] '''Sd.Kfz. 121''') is a third variant of the [[Pz.II (Family)|Panzer II light tank family]] that was used by the Afrika Korps, a German expeditionary force in Africa during World War II's North African campaign. Initially sent as a defensive force to help Italy defend its African colonies, the formation fought in Africa under several names from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was the unit's most well-known commander. On 11 January 1941, the Afrika Korps was founded, and on 11 February, one of Adolf Hitler's favourite generals, Erwin Rommel, was appointed commander. Originally, Hans von Funck was supposed to lead it, but Hitler despised von Funck since he had been Werner von Fritsch's personal staff officer until von Fritsch was fired in 1938. Except for minor differences, the Panzer II C (DAK) is fairly similar to the standard [[Pz.II C|Panzer II C variant]]. The Panzer II C (DAK) primarily operated in the desert with the 2nd Battalion, 5th Panzer Regiment, 21st Division.
