the problem with tanks being good is that many noob players hear "dis tonk good" and assume they can just play it brainlessly and think they'll get kills. then when they die repeatedly due to very bad skill issue, they cry and complain on reddit and the forums
As a soviet main, there's nothing easier to kill than a panzer 3 or 4, when u play them, treat them like a glass cannon. So like hide behind a corner and pick people off, the frontal armour on these is not the greatest but they can work
Hot take… panzer 3m is genuinely scary asf to go against… if given to a smart player you can challenge basically anything with Sweden being ur only real threat
@ best way to use the apc round is to use it like its solid shot… basically go for crew and ammo only… against Shermans the rivets above the transmission you can shoot and there’s a 40/60 chance (in my case) of hitting the transmission and killing the driver and either the gunner or loader or if it doesn’t hit the transmission… it’ll kill driver, commander, gunner, loader, and has a very small chance to overpen depending on range
I highly recommend the t34 stz as a another easy tank to use the armor saves it alot for newer players that are slower at aiming. This panzer has the gun power point and click
Id recommend setting your fuze timer to 1.5 allows you to get away.. without hurting yourself. (Plane bomb fuze timer) youll notice how much better it is straight away.
I adore the panzer 4s, especially the f2 since it can get a cheeky downteir. The others are great being able to pen other mediums and heavies. I destroyed many kv tanks by shooting right through the front flat bit.
13:00 The Panzer III M is interesting, cuz it starts with side skirts, which are removed once researching the Ost-/Winterketten. One may consider deselecting the modification to gain the sideskirts back. The Panzer IV/70 has the same mechanic.
Reason being the tracks are wider to get more traction in snowy conditions, causing them to brush the side of the skirts causing damage and interference on uneven terrain.
The Pz IV F2 was probably one of my favorite vehicles when I started out. Insane cannon, but armor is not the best. Sniping/long range worked out for me.
I never vibed with them much, as I spent the majority of my early WT days blowing them up in Shermans. However if you are interested in virtually the same gun in what I consider a more survivable and mobile platform, the Turan III in the Italian tree is a fantastic alternative. Sure its got a huge ass forehead but its surprisingly bouncy and the good gun depression combined with excellent reverse speeds(IE: pretty sure its same as forward.) it makes for a mean hill peeker.
I agree, the Panzers are very good and the 75 is very helpful for the BR, def a great starting vehicle for Germany if your start grinding the tech tree
When I was young, dumb, and new to WT I thought Germany suffered. Now that I’m older, wiser, and not quite as bad at the game, Germany has some of the best vehicles in the game. I regularly take the IV F1 (yes the snub gun) into 6.0. German Mains are some of the absolute goofiest players in the whole game with Russian mains being equally smooth brained.
Hey Gibby! I have been watching you since the start of your German WT grind. It has been kind of a long time? Hope you get the Maus! I'm also starting my German grind!
This tank is great as long as enemy team isn't all Sherman's that can pen u easy on the move. The gun is really good for the battle rating but the flat armor is the only down side no slope. If u want tank just as easy the t34 STZ with the extra armor is tough for alot of players
The pz4's only look realy strong on paper, because if we talking about 3.3 or 3.7, there isn't many thing the shermans and t-34's not deal with easily even if they have lesser pens, but they have so much better armor that is really hard to deal with if you have borderline pen value, also they better in mobility and if we talking about sherman, it literally have a secondary gun which can deal with planes and lot of weakly armored thing it that br range.
Yeah, I felt the same way with Sherman Composito, when I unlocked it from current warbond shop:) The 3.7 is just too low BR, so I feel like I am seal clubbing there. I really liked the soundtrack you did put in for the close range fight with Greyhound in the first match!
Yes the Panzer are very good at that bar, and even to higher brs due to its decent pen at that br. That specific AA doesn’t go all the way up so it’s best to be by some buildings to hide from cas. Well I gotta say that you have become better with aircraft. The German BF109s are pretty good at their br and what they can do. Just don’t expect them to be fast like US planes or whatnot. BF109s are best at stall fighting and have decent guns. The 7.92 guns need to be lead by about 40 or 50. The bf109 f4 is good friendly plane. As for the bomb, we’ll do fly straight while dropping it because you’re not fast to outrun the blast, tho you can add more time to the bomb, dive at a angle and drop the bomb, once you know how to drop the bomb you’ll be fine. Now as for other bf109s, they will come with gun pods, it’s up to you if you want those or not, but it’s preferable if you take a sec and see what’s up in the sky, is it safe to bomb or should you get rid of fighters.
germany takes no skill to play, compare this with the first Cromwell at the same br. same amour, worse cannon, solid shot and worse mobility?? fighting panzer 4H's in a matilda armed with a 40mm is painful especially when they can shoot me practically anywhere but i have to aim for their gunners head to actually knock them out. same thing for France and Italy these nations really suffer and german mains still complain about a supposed glass cannon?? fun fact, with your add on track armour you have 30mm's more of armour and your still faster than anything British!!!
I play Germany I play this game mainly in arcade. In the last 7 days I tried realistic my kd is over 1 but it is just suffering the cas and the Level 100 Players on 7.0 there are only lvl.80-100 players it is just impossible
The fact that the Panzer IVs used to be 4.0 once upon a time, then spent a LONG ass time at 3.7, then got dropped even further to 3-point-fricken-3, where they are SO god damn busted yet the T34s and Shermans stay at 3.7 and 4.0, shows just how many people get into the game and think Germany had the best tanks of the war and so go straight for the Tiger and Panther, then proceed to get curbstomped because they dont know how to just PLAY the game, causing the winrate, which we all know is the metric Gaijin uses for balancing, to just plummet. But fuck it, im not going to complain, ill club baby seals all damn day for my entertainment.
Yeah the German planes 15 mms are really shit, you essentially can only kill by hitting the enemies engine, which won't work from behind lol edit: reliably
You should play the BT-5, its one of my favourite tanks in the game. Moves and shoots very fast and decent pen for the BR. Just today got 6 kills with it in a 5.3 match. If played right can dominate in its own br, but you gotta use its strengths, lots of speeding around and flanking.
the problem with tanks being good is that many noob players hear "dis tonk good" and assume they can just play it brainlessly and think they'll get kills. then when they die repeatedly due to very bad skill issue, they cry and complain on reddit and the forums
Panzer IV's are absolutely amazing. The long 75 is very effective even when you're full uptier.
For that BR and tier range, I am a KV-1/KV-2 and T-34 guy, sorry even though the Panzer 4's are good I do better with the STUG's
Because, late Panzer IV used to be 4.3 - 4.7, equivalent to T34-57.
Now you get a tank with 100mm of armor and 5.7 pen in 3.7
0:16 the problem is not in the tanks but in the people, especially those playing 6.0

thank you for leaving in the clips of you suffering, really resonates with me that I'm not the only one who suffers
Hot take… panzer 3m is genuinely scary asf to go against… if given to a smart player you can challenge basically anything with Sweden being ur only real threat
Yep, effective armor, especially when angled, slightly above average top speed of 50 km/h, and a fairly reliable gun, however it lack good post pen.
@ best way to use the apc round is to use it like its solid shot… basically go for crew and ammo only… against Shermans the rivets above the transmission you can shoot and there’s a 40/60 chance (in my case) of hitting the transmission and killing the driver and either the gunner or loader or if it doesn’t hit the transmission… it’ll kill driver, commander, gunner, loader, and has a very small chance to overpen depending on range

when you have such great tanks, complacency sets in , and you just W into battle without a thought about positioning or timing.
11:44 man... I always take a good laugh watching you play air
I include it for this very reason 😂 I’m slowly improving…slowly
I mut say as a lvl 100 air main it is pretty funny
It can kill anything it meets and still get blasted by a locust. Great vehicle for the BR.
I adore the panzer 4s, especially the f2 since it can get a cheeky downteir. The others are great being able to pen other mediums and heavies. I destroyed many kv tanks by shooting right through the front flat bit.
13:00 The Panzer III M is interesting, cuz it starts with side skirts, which are removed once researching the Ost-/Winterketten. One may consider deselecting the modification to gain the sideskirts back. The Panzer IV/70 has the same mechanic.
Same with the 2 Panzer 4 Js
Reason being the tracks are wider to get more traction in snowy conditions, causing them to brush the side of the skirts causing damage and interference on uneven terrain.
@@cyanide7270 Apparently when the ostketten were fitted they used spacers to hold the skirts out further but gaijin haven't implemented it
I use the F2 tank regularly from 3.3 to 5.3 and it's still a Point-and-click.
I love it
In my opinion, the best (long 75, and not counting premium) Panzer 4s in order are
Pz 4 G, Pz 4 H, Pz 4 F2, Panzer 4 J.
Try using zoom while aiming in planes, bit easier. Lead a bit more as well, the majority of the stuff you want to hit on a plane is at the front end
That’s was a large number of “Stupids” in a short amount of time! LOL
The German tech tree has so many strong cannons
The Pz IV F2 was probably one of my favorite vehicles when I started out. Insane cannon, but armor is not the best. Sniping/long range worked out for me.
The G variant helps alleviate the armour issues without sacrificing much of anything, it’s even the same br.
And that’s why I used it as well. Both are insane for their BR
Oh I love the Panzer 4 F2. One of my favorite low tier tanks.
I started testing it in higher BR's and regularly hold my own at 5.3
the gameplay was funny I loved it
It made my day better thank you and keep it up
I never vibed with them much, as I spent the majority of my early WT days blowing them up in Shermans.

Sure its got a huge ass forehead but its surprisingly bouncy and the good gun depression combined with excellent reverse speeds(IE: pretty sure its same as forward.) it makes for a mean hill peeker.
I haven’t properly started the Italian tree yet but the Turan has been on my radar for a while! It looks like a bit if a monster
I agree, the Panzers are very good and the 75 is very helpful for the BR, def a great starting vehicle for Germany if your start grinding the tech tree
great work with the easy button, go get sweaty in a french tank
But yeah the problem is that you get point and clicked even if u angle sometimes cos they pen ur turret
where did u reach in germany? last time i saw u palying was in the premuim TAM which was a test drive
Currently my highest main tech tree vehicle is the TAM at 9.0
When I was young, dumb, and new to WT I thought Germany suffered.
Now that I’m older, wiser, and not quite as bad at the game, Germany has some of the best vehicles in the game. I regularly take the IV F1 (yes the snub gun) into 6.0.

Video idea:Is APCR really that bad
Contents: You play with your primary round being APCR and just comlain about APCR fo like 10 minutes.
He alread did that with PT-76

CAS just feels so unfair and demotivating, and then al those hig levels in the SAV
German tanks often have shitty armour so if you pair that with bad players that often rush and leave after 1-2 deaths you get an average German team.
Are you going to begin streaming again gav?
Not planning on it for the time being!
the gun is like the only thing good about the panzer 4.
They are pretty much a glass cannon.
Pretty much!

But you have extremly good teamates
PLAY FRANCE WHEN?
After 3000+ hours over nearly a decade, my conclusion is that majority of players are simply incompetent l, and play worse than bots.
I play Germany I play this game mainly in arcade. In the last 7 days I tried realistic my kd is over 1 but it is just suffering the cas and the Level 100 Players on 7.0 there are only lvl.80-100 players it is just impossible
@ you haven’t tried playing 10.0+ and seeing the suffering.
I see it in videos and i will stick with arcade 3.3 Germany i like my sanity
The fact that the Panzer IVs used to be 4.0 once upon a time, then spent a LONG ass time at 3.7, then got dropped even further to 3-point-fricken-3, where they are SO god damn busted yet the T34s and Shermans stay at 3.7 and 4.0, shows just how many people get into the game and think Germany had the best tanks of the war and so go straight for the Tiger and Panther, then proceed to get curbstomped because they dont know how to just PLAY the game, causing the winrate, which we all know is the metric Gaijin uses for balancing, to just plummet.
