Re: the suspension system of the Panzer II - this is a tough issue since there were at least four different systems used: the very early ones had leaf springs, but the ausf D had Christie, the F reverted to leaf spring, and the Luchs had torsion bars.
I agree with the recent edit to make it 'leaf spring' since this was by far the most common type. But since the lead photo shows a Luchs it is a bit confusing. May I suggest the lead photo show an ausf C or F, which were the most common types? The Luchs is a minor if well-known variant. DMorpheus 01:02, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Could someone please confirm or refute that this tank was known as the Flamingo? See Flamingo (disambiguation), which claims this to be the case, but I could not find any mention of the word flamingo on this tank's article. Is this a mix-up with another tank, perhaps? If anyone could clarify this and update the Flamingo disambiguation page, I would be very grateful. - Leevclarke 22:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The article Christie suspension claims superior off-road performance compared to leaf spring suspensions. However, this article here says that the Ausf. D and E of that tank was constructed with Christie suspension, but were later withdrawn for poor off-road performance / speed, with later models returning to the original leaf spring design. Could someone clarify here? -- DevSolar ( talk) 05:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
HP and PS are virtually identical and the terms are used interchangeably. Why are German units (obsolete terms at that) used to decribe an engines power output? Would it not make more sense to use modern measures that the average reader can understand? See: Metric horsepower for a discussion of the difference.16:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Scout1067 ( talk)

I know that many other pages on tanks have this type of category, so should we also include a section on surviving or operational Panzer IIs? If the list is few enough in number, I think it's a section worth adding. User:Edward hahm ( talk) 12:05, 17 June 2021 (GMT-7)
