It is a captured French heavy tank pressed into German service after the battle of France. Meant to be a breakthrough tank in trench warfare, it was considered to be very well armoured and powerfully armed in 1940. However, tank design had advanced by leaps and bounds and the Panzer B2 had clearly become an outdated design by 1944. Its armour and gun only makes it suitable to fighting light tanks, though it fulfills its role as infantry support very well with its howitzer. While the B2 is not the best tank by any stretch of the imagination, especially in phase B, it's the closest thing 716. Infanterie has to a medium tank, giving the division much-needed mobile firepower and light armour. One one-star B2 is available in phase A, where it has more potential as the powerful tanks have not been fielded yet. It is effective against most units in this stage: infantry and vehicles. ==Overview== {{transcludesection|Char B1|background}} The tanks of the [[716. Infanterie]] Division are part of Panzer-Abteilung 213. In real life Panzer-Abteilung 213 served under the command of 319th Static Infantry Division which defended the captured Channel Islands. Panzer-Abteilung 213 had two companies each with 14 Panzer B2(f) along with 5 [[Flammpz. B2(f)]]. Panzer-kompanie Paris had a mixture of captured French Tanks like Renault R-35, R-40, Hotchkiss H-39, Somua S-35 and Char B1 from Front Weapons Depot at Paris-Garche along with Panzer I.The first iteration of the Panzer-kompanie Paris was absorbed into Panzer Regiment 100 which became [[21. Panzer]]'s Panzer Regiment 22. ==Strategy== Phase A is where this tank is at its best, as it can reliably deal with infantry and other soft targets as well as vehicles & light tanks. Phase B is where the more heavy stuff is usually brought in and Panthers, Churchills, Wolverines among others all start pouring onto the battlefield. The Panzer B2 (f) seems extremely underwhelming compared to these more modern tanks (it is), but the static 716. Infanterie is not meant to duke it out with Allied tanks while fielding Germany's best units. It is foremost a defensive division, as it focuses on infantry, towed anti-tank units and anti-aircraft Flaks. In this battlegroup, the Panzer B2(f) is mainly equipped to deal with soft targets and to act as the advance unit of a methodical push, supported by copious amounts of artillery and infantry. The B2 is not a great tank, but it is at least a tank, in much the same way that Airborne divisions lack heavy anti-tank weaponry. It is best employed in a supporting role or as a mobile defence (in any case more mobile than the [[FlaK 36 88mm|Flaks]] and the anti-tank guns). It can't go toe to toe with other tanks - artillery, airpower, Flaks and anti-tank units must help rectify the imbalance. However, its excellent howitzer means it is a great counter to lighter vehicles, infantry, and low-level AT guns at 1000m range. ==Gallery== <gallery> Unit Viewer 283REL.png </gallery> {{navbox units}} {{Navbox 716inf}} {{Navbox Festung Paris}}
