Tank description:
The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. D is a German tier 2 premium light tank.A high-speed modification of the Pz. II intended for light divisions formed from the cavalry. The Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf. D tank had a completely new hull and suspension. The turret and guns were taken from the Ausf. C. version. The suspension had eight large-diameter paired wheels with individual torsion bars and no support rollers. The tanks with enhanced suspension elements, including new drive and idler wheels, were designated Ausf. E. According to various sources, about 200–250 vehicles of the D and E modifications were manufactured.The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. D was the 2015 New Year''s gift tank. When put to paper, the II D appears somewhat mediocre in comparison to most other tier II tanks. Most prominent among its shortcomings are its very poor AP shell penetration and thin armor (excluding the front hull). Still, the II D benefits from a better top speed and improved maneuverability compared to its non-premium cousin, and with patience and thoughtful positioning it is easily more than capable of pulling its weight.
