Climbing the ranks with GERMAN TANKS / War Thunder

Today we discuss the vehicles of one of the first nations of War Thunder. Coming straight from Germany!
The German tech tree contains a lot of interesting vehicles: from lightly-armoured self-propelled guns to the heaviest tank clad in the thickest of armour… and all the way to the most modern MBTs.

At the BR 7.7 you only have the Leopard 1 and the M48A2 G A2, if you played the tank destroyers maybe the Jagdpanzer 4-5, but there are missing tanks.

Germany is fun till you hit the 6.7 black hole. Then everything from there and on is just agonizing frustration and pain. Hey 6.7 vs 7.7 is balanced right?

[@kommandantkillcode]

Hyena Hallstrom 6.7 vs 7.7 is definitely easier than 5.7 vs 6.7 becuase only the guns on vehicles at 7.7 become extremely better. The armor becomes weaker and other than certain heavies, the Germans don’t stuggle to penetrate them. 5.7 tanks get outclassed in every aspect when fighting other than maybe mobility in certain trees. IMO only the T-54 tanks give the Germans a run for their money everytime 7.7 comes around against 6.7s. I think the T-54 needs to be 8.0 and the T-44-100, 6.7.

[@EvilSnail]

I was suffering from the same problem until suddenly I somehow turned on my internal Zen. The only thing which is kinda annoying is driving Maus or 10.5 cm Tiger through the big map... But on the other hand, you can go and make some tea, while the tank is slowly crawling to its death)

[@Damian-03x3]

Low rank Pz.III tracked fortress? That's funny. Only versions with good armor are the late ones.

[@kimjanek646]

Except that the Pz. III J at 2.3 is basically a low rank Tiger. 50mm armor doesn't seem like much untill you angle it, then suddendly 80% of the guns can't pen your front armor anymore. It also has superior firepower with APCR having more than 1000m/s at 2.3 making it very easy to score hits. And with almost all low rank tanks being light tanks with few crews, one hit with APCR is generally enough to take out a tank. It also has 5 crews while most other tanks have 3-4 at best, giving it much better survivability.

[@Damian-03x3]

No one should use APCR at that rank, unless they have to.

[@kimjanek646]

@@Damian-03x3 And why? Theres no reason to use APC unless you are at close range. APCR can penetrate any tank, is easier to aim and deals enough damage to cripple or kill low tier tanks in one hit.

[@Damian-03x3]

APC has explosives in it so you'll easly one shot enemy. With APCR you need to be really precise to make sure that enemy won't shoot back at you or hide behind cover. APC is really good for side shoots and close-medium range and shooting at long distances gives your position away and is not really worth it unless enemy is in the open or if you're playing arcade.

@@admiralkipper4540 Yea, russian APHEBC shell has unreal normalization. 85 APHEBC can go through jumbo upper plate much more reliable than short 88, even though it has less pen at all angle at any range.

[@admiralkipper4540]

@@-APTX balance comrade

[@kimjanek646]

​@@-APTX Thats actually realistic. The 85mm has better ballistic properties. Despite it having lower 0° pen, the 85mm shell has superior 60° penetration compared to the 88mm APCBC shell. Of course that doesn't mean that the slope modifiers for Soviet guns are correct. There are many instances where these shell overperform but in others they underperform. The 100mm gun for example should be able to penetrate the front of a Panther II quite easily but it can't do that in-game. It should also be able to penetrate the front of a Panther from more than 2km. On the other hand should the Soviet 76mm guns not be able to penetrate the front of a T-34 or Sherman, yet they can do that even at long range. The 85mm gun shouldn't be able to penetrate the armor of the Jumbo that easily. It should barely be able to penetrate the armor (as seen with the M26) but the layered armor on the Jumbo screws up the armor calculation and allows the 85mm to penetrate. Slope modifiers in-game are overal wrong because you can't determine the slope performance based on the 0° penetration. Low tier guns generally penetrate too much sloped armor while high powered guns penetrate too little or have correct performance.

[@ethanleslie8329]

-01 APTX4369 but German tests in the tiger 1s 88mm gun showed that it can penetrate a m4 at any distance. I can send resources if you want. So I guess it’s somewhat somehow historical

[@zacharymiller1452]

The Stpz. II also has a very strong gun shield. I can't recall how many rounds that have bounced off my Stpz. IIs gun shield. Lol. It's also ideal for holding a cap, because it has a surprisingly fast reload for the 150 (in my opinion). When you use this in conjunction with the Ho Ro, oh boy that's where the fun begins.

[@thedrunkencoffeeman3554]

Well based on their armor i still love the Tiger as it can take about 2-3 hits. Even though that it is expose is on the back making it easy for an enemy to ambush it. Its cannon and shell can help recover from it along with its speed.

[@coltonjacobs5383]

On a T34 you really have to aim for weak spots like the ring or cheeks on the turret. Most of the time you can’t pen the front plate with the Panzer 4 F2 without some good angle. Meanwhile the pea shooter that the T34 has can still pen the shitty armor that the Panzer 4 has. Also, the fuel tanks always absorb shots for some reason.
