Overwhelming majority of these were never put into action by Wehrmacht or were not produced at all. I can see you are taking reference from World of Tanks. Škoda T-25 made it only to the blueprint plans same as Škoda T-24. Škoda T-23M was experimental version of tank that was never put into production by Germans, however similiar version of this tank was sold as license to Hungarians which started producing it with designation “Turán I”. Lehký tank vzor 35 saw minimal combat past early months of Operation Barbarossa and was instead replaced by Lehký tank vzor 38, which is already in game, unfortunately it is locked squad from pre-merge era. Lehký tank vzor 34 is already considered outdated for BR I standards and their users would suffer greatly by underpowered cannon and really weak armor + engine.
