Tank description:
The Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs is a German tier 4 light tank.As compared to the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. C, the vehicle featured a new hull and turret, as well as a chassis with a staggered arrangement of roadwheels. The reconnaissance tank had strong characteristics, but only 131 vehicles of the L modification were built, after manufacture proved to be too expensive.The first of five dedicated scouting tanks in the German tech tree, the Luchs is a fast and nimble tank. If equipped with the 3cm auto-cannon, it can decimate most tier 3s and some tier 4s with one clip and it will hurt many tier V''s, VI''s and VII''s as it has decent damage for an auto-cannon and outstanding penetration (95mm with the AP on the 3 cm Mk 103) for tier 4.The Pz.Kpfw. II Luchs leads to the VK 16.02 Leopard.
