Panzer IIC: The Axis T-60

[engineer]

Few minor changes were made in the Ausf. C version, which became the standard production model from June 1938 through April 1940. A total of 1,113 examples of Ausf. c, A, B, and C tanks were built from March 1937 through April 1940 by Alkett, FAMO, Daimler-Benz, Henschel, MAN, MIAG, and Wegmann. These models were almost identical and were used in service interchangeably. This was the most widespread tank version of the Panzer II and performed the majority of the tank's service the panzer units during the war.

Armed with a 20mm FlaK and a MG34, it is almost identical in role and in armament to the T-60.

The only problem with this is that I'm doubtful the PzII saw much action after VERY early war engagements. It would be practically worthless against every Russian tank.

I guess they did upgrade it to the L later in the war. I just have a hard time seeing it on the frontlines.

Pz. IIs were used in the thousands during Barbarossa, not being fully withdrawn from the frontline until at least '42. They were capable of engaging T-26s, BT-5/7s and T-60s, plus all those things without armor that tend to make a nuisance of themselves about the battlefield.

Anyways, how many maps do we have from the last 6 months of the war compared to the first 6 months?

Yeah, the PzII was usually in service in the signals unit of most panzer divisions, even late in the war. I believe it was also attached to the command unit in large numbers, on battallion/company levels.

 

[daschewy]

the panzer II was definately used during barbarossa, and it was also common in NA.

 

[LukeFF]

Panzer IIs also took part in Operation Citadel.

Panzer IIC? what about the F?

well there where even Panzer 1s at kursk (a wooping 6 of them)
the Panzer II and III even saw servise at the end of the war.

The panzer II By 1941 was being used as a armord scout rather than a "battle tank".

True

 

[engineer]

There were over a thousand PzII's used in Russia, and remained there until 1942.

Also, I want the IIC as it was the most numerous version of the PzII series.

because the first 6 months mostly involved russians being encircled almost effortlessly into pockets and then herded off to concentration camps in their millions. not a lot of balanced battles you can model into fun gameplay for both sides

 

[Zoring]

Panzer II's were also used at Kursk, ask Wilsonam he'll say 'and i have the TO&E to prove it!'

 

[Reise]

Would be excellent for taking out those pesky clown cars and satchel throwing ruskies.

I think you should look at German casualties for the first 6 months of the invasion and reconsider.

I thought the Panzer IIF was used pretty extensively on the Western Front in '44 as a scout vehicle. Not sure about the eastern front

 

[Boggs]

I'd love to see this tank included in some early war maps. Very early if time and effort can be found, 1939 Poland anyone? I've yet to see any WW2 FPS games with the Germans versus the Poles in '39. It technically was the Eastern Front so I don't see any reason other than time and manpower being an issue for its omission. But back on topic, it'd be a nice inclusion, the more the merrier.

 

[Nebfer]

Whill the c, A, B & C batch of the Panzer II did reach ~1,100. the qustion remains are you modleing it with the up armor or not? by 1941 thy up armord most of the current Panzer IIs.

 

[engineer]

All I want is an Axis counterpart for the T60.

I think that's the most ugly ****in' tank every build, why would ya add it to the game?
