It’s September 18th, 1939, in the Polish countryside near the village of Pociecha. Section Commander Edmund Roman Orlik leads three TKS tankettes as they scour the land for the enemy. Then, before his eyes a beast rolls into view. The biggest tank in the Polish battlefield, the Panzer 4 B. The tankettes are tiny 2-man vehicles, built in the interwar period around the idea of a mobile machinegun. Orlik’s model isn’t like most. His TKS has replaced the 7.92mm machine gun with a 20mm autocannon capable of firing 5 round clips in less than a second, creating a small and sneaky, albeit fragile, tank hunter. Who would win in this David and Goliath scenario?

Those little tanks can't move inside the forest. In a forest situation a German formation will not just drive tanks into it. They use a recon in than halftracks with infantry, those will scan for ambush than a pz4 or 3will give cover. In case of Engagement the lead tank will not drive past point of Engagement. So that is bs. There were ambush along roads, those things hiding in shoulder of growth, yes. Those things hart to hit yes, but only in the open. However every tank company also has recon, and flak and they're armed with a 20mm.

In the book "Who Dies Fighting" the narrator (forget his name, sadly) says the local soldiers had probably never even seen a tank before, and their reaction was similar to that of the Germans in 1916. Really tankettes were scouting vehicles - to take on 'proper' tanks and defeat them says a great deal about the quality of the crews.

    for anybody who thinks its actually 200mm, read this. The TK (TK-3) and TKS were Polish tankettes developed during the 1930s and used in the Second World War. Design and development The TK (also known as the TK-3) tankette was a Polish design produced from 1931 based on the chassis of the British Carden Loyd tankette, with an improved hull and more powerful engine, and armour up to 8 mm (0.31 in) thick (10 mm or 0.39 in on the TKS). In 1939, up-arming of the tankettes with Nkm wz.38 FK 20 mm (0.79 in) machine guns began, but only 24 of these were completed before the outbreak of World War II. On 6 November 1934 Estonia purchased 6 vehicles from Poland, with the contract deal worth over 180,000 krones. The deal also included one additional tracked-lorry, and a motorcycle was given free as a bonus.[1] After the Soviet Union occupied Estonia, these vehicles were put into service with the Red Army.[citation needed]

    This was 20mm (2cm) autocannon (and it was not Orlik`s idea but a new refit of older TKS). Clips were 5 or 10 rounds. Unforunately only small number was refited (about 20) that way before war started so most of them was only MG armed.
