Well, they were tested for protection against HE, the test was positive and the Schurtzen changed throughout the war, and was more to protect against hollow point rounds after initially being used as an extra layer of defence against the soviet AT rifles

[@MarshalBeard]

Learn how to position yourself better. People complain about this in the Maus as well, so much so that it was removed for new players. But if you angle your hull, fire, and the angle your turret, even APFSDS and HEAT and HEAT rockets have a tough time doing anything more than maybe taking out your cannon barrel and/or gun breach. It's still one of the most effective tanks I own, and all german heavy tanks are similar in this way.

I'd say it is your play. I see so many people shooting the same spotz 2-5 times and then get killed. If you do that too, you have to understand that the most reliable and fast way to kill a tank in WT is to kill its crew. So in a standart situation my 1st shot goes to the turret, to kill the gunner so he is defenseless, 2nd shot kills driver and co-driver. Then GTFO. Hope that helps. :)

@@dioisabot4276 i would love a historic matchmaker as some additional battle type but that is not what i meant, I mean the cosmetics of maps. Like cold war tanks on maps when im in an m4 sherman. Things like that. Its rrally something that is very small of an issue but regardless would help the experience. Another thing while we are at it. Id like them to really add some story oriented missions with waves of active players storming or defending a place. I'll explain, one team would get 30s to set up on the area they have to defend. The other team will then launch an attack but if you die you cant respawn immediately, you'll have to wait for the round to end, that would be the case for both teams (unless you have a story where one team has some resupply line like a dock or train yard that needs to be bombed by the other team to stop respawning for that round) Now at the start of the match some people, who have planes can spawn in and act as recon or bomb for the attacking team but if you die you wont respawn till the end of the first round. Further for air engagements, both teams would use aircrafts from the start, the mission (story driven) will decide the aircraft type. That way AA has a purpose, and so does escorted strategic bombers who will have to be defended against by fighters. Every rounds things will sort of reset with a slight change of borders depending on the mission type ( city defence/attack, convoy defence/attack, air raids as part of those rounds in a mission. Things like that will effect the frontlines and change your spawn locations for the every round). You know like world war mode, but on a smaller scale.

[@Markty07]

Things to remember : Panzer II are a menace at low tier with high mobility and good firepower against lightly armored opponents Early Panzer III are pretty meh. Low firepower and poor turret traverse, moreover the armor isn't even great. Early Panzer IV are a very good pick. You get fast reload, devastating damage, great pen with heat and overpressure potential. Good for beginners. Practically no armor still. Starting from Panzer III J the gun gets interesting and J1 has very trolly armor, kinda like a T-34. That's when I had the most fun with Panzer IIIs Panzer IV F2 and Panzer IV G are absolute god tier. They basically one shot everything with some of the best guns of their tier, only topped by tank destroyers. Play them like tank destroyers, you can snipe and ambush. Lack of stabilisation means you can't push as good as a sherman. I like to spam smoke with the G variant when I'm capping a point in the open and I'm not sure where the ennemy is. It doesn't work as well for the F2 variant. However, the F2 variant is basically identical in all practical aspects. Cheaper in assault, would recommand. Panzer IV H/J really suffer from being 3.7. There are only 4 3.7 german vehicles meaning some of your lineup is going to suffer if you make the H/J the highest tier or you're risking facing up to 5.3 if you decide to take some of the 4.0 and 4.3 into your linup, basially compromising your medium tanks. A panzer IV does not fair well against a M6A1, a Jumbos, russian 4.7, fireflies... you get the point. I would recommand keeping your tier II linup at 3.3, you get better mobility and the best gun you can ask for, and you avoid these annoying german tiger mains. The panzer IV aren't unusable against 5.0, the cannon is definitely capable of dealing with that but the slow speed, the lack of armor, the cramped crew and the lack of stabilistators is going to make you a worse sherman, basically. It's a really sp expensive way to get a TD gun in your lineup. -> They should NOT be put into 3.3. They are very strong, but germany lacks a lineup at 3.7 for the H/J variants to thrive. Honorable mentions : TDs. Stugs are absolute god tier TD material. My personal favorite to go with my 3.3 lineup is the StuH 42 G because of the very good armor, the god tier HEAT that is basically a swiss army knife, dealing with light targets AND heavy ones effectively. the StuG III F is a Panzer IV F2 without a turret, not very interesting, but if you got the space for it, you can definitely take it. Not much armor however. Marder III H is a good sniper with the Panzer IV H/J gun, wrecks houses, dies to planes. I like it for assault and not much else. SPAAs : Ostwind is a no brainer in a 3.3 RB lineup. It shreds planes. Low pen against tanks compared to other 37mm SPAAs, but you can still pen most ennemies if you aim carefully... Or simply spam their barrel and then shower every square centimeter until an APHE pens. You got no reload to worry about. The ostwind is still a good alternative to the Wirblewind until the Ostwind II. Basically a sidegrade. CAS : Not much experience in CAS at 3.3, but for 1.3 CAS take the Do 17 Z-7. It carries bombs, it has a 20 mil that wrecks planes and tanks. It's going to allow you to find what you like in CAS, while the opponent is not going to be very experienced, then you can choose if you want bombers, attack aircrafts, or fighters as CAS. My rule is, assuming you only got the 5 silver lion crews, only take one CAS max in your lineup, unless it's 1.3 and you're smurfing, then do what you want.

Pz IV F2- Me and my buddy were camped on top of a hill kind of hidden by some rocks, we were sniping on one of the hard points when some enemy tanks found where we were, so we went under HEAVY fire, my friends Sherman didn't stand a chance against the T34s and M4s so he blew up fairly quick after getting a few kills, to my surprise my tank stayed in the fight for the majority of the match landing me seven kills in that tank till a KV-2 got a lucky shot that destroyed my entire crew 😂

Cancel out the GE changes or babay Gaijin. Yeah you are a game developer, yeah you are responsibilities to the share holders, yeah you gotta eat every now and then, but thats why so many people are buying XM-1s, T55-AMs and many other kinda broken vehicle under the name of premium advantage (yeah i bought couple of broken tanks too, i know i'm part of the problem here). It is fun and games until you decide to push people to higher prices and make who can spend couple of bucks to decide if he should eat every now and then or enjoy him/herself. Before you can make a joke out of what i wrote i just wanna say that its been years since i've joined to a "ALMOST" full battle. Plane AB, Plane RB, Tank AB, Tank RB, Naval AB and Naval RB are all half full at best. So I hope you will reconsider your decision and cancel out the change. Sell them low, sell them in huge volumes, make discounts to returning players, otherwise they wont be leaving the new shiny game they will possibly be playing, just because you swallowed your pride just like WoT or AW and send a shitty freebie their way.

Panzer IV F2 is thr most fun a german player will have and is basically the best that the Panzers IIIs or IVs could offer. It has around the best armor while reducing unnecessary weight AHEM Ausf H AHEM while providing a gun that basically kills everything. Its great at all ranges (close range coz of quick reload but not the armor tho, long range coz of the gun and rounds) and is a real jack of all trades. Basically Germany's Hellcat.

I love Panzers IV, especially H variant. It is a tank which fought through whole war (in its many variants) and it was the core tank until the very end, despite weehraboos fantasies (Panthers and Tigers were elite rather uncommon tanks). It's very capable tank even when brought above its BR range (there you need to take half of your ammo in APCR and need to unlearn aiming at CoM). Despite its reputation of glass canon, when you take less than 28 pieces of ammo combined, learn how to hide your weakspots (driver front armor and place between 2nd and 3rd wheel, little bit tricky as angling one reveals the other) and stop using it as brawl tank -- it becomes quite tanky. It's relatively fast, has small silhouette, fast reload... And the gun if dreams. However -- do not forget StuG(H), as StuG is love, StuG is life!

I like these series. You learn something new and see all the comparissons and developement as the BR climbs higher.
