-The '''Panzerkampfwagen II Ausführung F (Panzer II F)''' ([[Abbreviations#.28DE.29_Sd.Kfz._Index|Sd.Kfz. Index:]] '''Sd.Kfz. 121''') is the sixth variant of the [[Pz.II (Family)|Panzer II light tank family]]. The Panzer II F variant was designed with thicker 30 mm armour on the tank hull's front and 30 mm armour on the turret's front. Instead of a split hatch, the commander cupola is fitted with a periscope on top of the turret. The side vision ports were protected by vertical bullet splash shields and two conical bolts above and below the visor to hold the 50 mm bulletproof glass in position. A triangle-shaped guard welded to the top of the superstructure at the front and back shielded the turret ring from small bullets and shrapnel. To the right of the driver's vision port, a fake armoured visor constructed of aluminium alloy was mounted onto the front of the hull. This was done in order to draw hostile fire away from the driver. The majority of the other components needed to construct the tank were carried over from earlier variants. It was armed with an improved Kampfwagenkanone (KwK) 38 20 mm L/55 autocannon and a 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun. In March 1941, the first seven Panzer II F light tanks were completed. Production ceased in late July 1942. A total of 1,004 were assigned chassis numbers and went into service. They were mostly utilized as reconnaissance tanks on the Eastern Front, but some Panzer II F light tanks were transferred to Libya as replacements.

-Introduced in the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41, the Panzer II F variant is the successor to the [[Pz.II C|Panzer II C variant]] in the Panzer II light tank family. The gameplay is generally similar to the Panzer II C variant, with the exception that players may notice a significant increase in the firing rate of the primary 20 mm Kampfwagenkanone (KwK) 38 L/55 autocannon. Armour protection is slightly improved, allowing the player to deflect shells from hostile tanks occasionally. However, since the tank is poorly armoured, players should not rely too heavily on the armour to exchange shots with the opponent. Players should be aware that the reload time of an ammo clip is substantially greater than that of most opponents and should not empty all cannon shells at once when confronted with an enemy tank in close combat.

Against angled armour it is not very effective like any other ACPR shell, this is offset by the very high base penetration though.

 Despite the up-armouring in the different Panzer II variants, the Panzer II could still be penetrated by the most towed anti-tank weapon in service at the time, leaving the crew at risk to enemy fire. By 1942, it was largely removed from front lines, and production ceased by 1943. The turrets of these obsolete tanks were used as gun turrets on defensive bunkers on the Atlantic Wall, and the chassis stayed in use for other purposes, such as a self-propelled gun and tank destroyer in the ''Wespe'' and ''Marder II'' respectively.

 The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. F was the last production variant of the Pz.Kpfw. II tank. Serial production of the vehicle was meant to answer a need for new tank formations, as medium tanks were produced in very insufficient quantities. The design of the tank was similar to the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. C, except for the bent forward portion of the hull, which was made of 33 mm thick solid armour plating. The thickness of the frontal portion of the superstructure, turrets, and gun mantlet was increased to 30 mm. The armour thickness on the sides and stern was 15 mm. On the right side of the frontal portion of the tank's superstructure, a fake driver's viewport was installed. In addition, the driver received a KFF-2 surveillance device, which allowed a viewing angle of 63° and was protected by a two-hinged lid. A container for the crew's things was affixed to the rear of the turret.

The magazine size did not change, still limited to ten rounds of ammunition. The reload time is also identical, so while it is tempting to "spray-n-pray", it is more practical to use it like you would an autoloading tank at higher ranks and administer trigger control to make the shots count.

 In 1934, the development of the new German tanks, which would be the [[Pz.III E|Panzer III]] and [[Pz.IV E|Panzer IV]], was falling behind schedule despite an urgent need for tanks. As a stopgap solution until the designs were finalized, the Germany Army submitted a request for a new tank, designing it to Krupp, MAN, Henschel, and Daimler-Benz.
-The product was a design based on the German Panzer I light tank, but it was larger with the addition of an extra bogie wheel and had a 20 mm autocannon as its main armament. The finished tank was designated the '''Panzer II''', and production started in 1935 but did not start delivering tanks until 18 months later. At this time, it was in a low rate production status by 1936 in the [[Pz.II C|'''Panzer II Ausf. C''']] variant. In the 1940s, the Panzer II was upgraded to the '''Panzer II Ausf. F''', which entered into production in 1941 with increased armour and a torsion bar suspension system. A total of 524 Ausf. F were produced between March 1941 to December 1942.

The 20 mm autocannon on the turret was the same, based off the 20 mm FlaK 30, then in use with a firing rate of 600 rpm from a 10-round magazine. The tank came with a coaxial machine gun as well. The turret was hand-cranked by the commander, who doubled as the gunner of the tanks. The crew of the Panzer II consists of three people, the driver, commander, and loader who doubled as a radio operator. The Panzer II Ausf.

-* '''Default:''' {{Annotation|API-T|Armour-piercing incendiary tracer}}{{-}}{{Annotation|HEFI-T|High-explosive fragmentation incendiary tracer}} - 50% of this belt is useless against tanks or planes. However against other SPAA this belt can reliably take out crew, armament, ammo and engine. Having one belt in reserve does not hurt.
+* '''Default:''' {{Annotation|API-T|Armour-piercing incendiary tracer}}{{-}}{{Annotation|HEFI-T*|High-explosive fragmentation incendiary tracer (self-destroying)}} - 50% of this belt is useless against tanks or planes. However against other SPAA this belt can reliably take out crew, armament, ammo and engine. Having one belt in reserve does not hurt.
 * '''PzGr:''' {{Annotation|API-T|Armour-piercing incendiary tracer}} - Intermediate usage until the better PzGr 40 can be used. Decent enough versus light tanks and other vehicles from the rear. It inflicts underwhelming damage due to the lack of HE filler, yet still better than the PzGr 40.
 * '''PzGr 40:''' {{Annotation|HVAP-T|High-velocity armour-piercing tracer}} - Best penetrating shell of this vehicle. However, the damage effects are very poor. In close combat, snipe for modules and crew members for increased survival rate. Nothing is more annoying than emptying a clip and then to get out-gamed during the reload because the enemy gunner survived. Against angled armour it is not very effective like any other ACPR shell, this is offset by the very high base penetration though.
