FT-17 too much armoured?

FT-17.

This tank is a relic from WWI with armour barely enough to stop MG fire but i got lots of "deflected" results when shooting at them with Panzer II and even Panzer III. I should be able to slice through them like hot butter.

Their armour value is equal as german tanks and i think it should be the same as a halftrack or even less.

Come on, they were totally useless vehicles in 1940 and more a static pillbox than a real tank.

The FT17 has very thin armour, only 20mm or so, about 2 times a halftrack. The issue is the German Pz II is really not very good - only a 20mm cannon. The Pz III should have a better chance. Can you tell me what % hit & kill chances you are seeing and the situation?
