I would suggest replacing the panzer IIIB with the Panzer IIIF, as the IIIB only had a production run of 10 until and none were present in the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. The IIIF was the first mass produced variant (~490 units) and would still maintain the 3.7 cm gun while having frontal armor (30mm) that has a chance of deflecting the T-60’s 20mm rounds. As it stands now, the IIIB has worse survivability than the Pz II which precedes it. The Panzer IIIG with the 5cm L 42 gun would be a good end of line/campaign variant to match the Soviet T-26 with its 45mm gun.
I agree since Panzer III B is delegated to training role AFTER 1940, so the latest Panzer III B saw action is during battle of france, on the other hand Panzer III E did actually saw combat during early operation Barbarossa. if i could suggest, the starter gun tank (not the autocannon one’s) for german in battle for Moscow campaign should be Panzer 35 (t)
in my opinion, it should be replaced by the
the Panzer 38 (T) Ausf. A
i think that it’s a good opponent for the bt-7
also, unlike the Panzer 35 (t) the 38 was produced in more numbers.

in conclusion;
as you can see, it’s always hard to look at exact sourches, but in all fonts the number of the 38t is higher than the 35t, for the same reason, i think that the higher numbers should have the priority. and as i said, the Panzer 38T can compete with bt-7s due it’s 37 mm KwK 38(t) L/47.8 unlike the 35t that has only a 3.7 cm (1.5 in) KwK 34(t) gun.
well seams they listened to you … they get Panzer 38F in the game with 50 mm of armor like panzer 3 aint enough trouble for bt7 and t28 !.. its kinda unbalanced now
