Umm... the only conventional Polish built tank used during the German invasion - about 140 7TPs were built.
The 7TPs were quite effective against the panzers but their armour was too thin. The greatest number of armoured vehicles used by the Polish army were the TK/TKS tankettes - something like 550+ of these were built. The TKs were useless against the panzers. There were 50 Renault R-35s used as well in the southern part of Poland but they fared no better against the panzers as the French army ones did in 1940.
