    There are some similarities with the rest of the series, especially the fact that it only had two machine guns, but its purpose was completely different, and thus it also looked different. The Pz.Kpfw.II also went through several large changes to the chassis.

    Compare the Panzer I F to the Panzer II J in the photo section of the website.The F is almost identical to the J except for the armament.

    On the photographs, yes, but if you look at drawings of the two vehicles they are quite distictable.
