Not a video from April 1st, so let's assume you are not trolling. 1) I checked avg. damage a while back, and this thing was #5 among tier VI mediums. That's not a typo, it was #5 _one tier up._ 2) Your first two games were 2k+ XP games, but no Ace Tankers. How many other tanks can do that? 3) You third game was nearly 3k damage, 7 kills in a +2 game. I'm pretty sure this result would be an Ace Tanker for many tier VIII tanks. 4) Your point about HP is completely bonkers. The T-34-85M is usually named as the best tier VI medium, and it has 50 HP _less._ 5) _Any_ tank in a five-man-platoon could wipe the floor with the opposing team if played right. We've done it with Cromwells, T-34s, T-34-88s, Churchills, Tigers, any number of scouts, 4005s, you name it. The difference is that the Pz. V/IV can wipe the floor with the opposing team *in a two-man-platoon driven my monkeys.* 6) The so-called "weak spot" is not a weak spot - it's a bog standard tier V turret. It only appears to be a weak spot because it's not as outrageous as the rest of the tank. 7) The front armor is probably the best at tier V, the only heavy I can think of with (possibly) better front armor is the Bogatyr. That's not a surprise: The Panther is usually considered to have decent armor, and the front of the V/IV _is even better armored_ than that. 8) Having a weak spot (in this case, a bog standard tier V turret) does not negate armor. Its sibling the Pz. IV can be reliably penned from any angle simply by auto-aiming, which is faster than manual aiming and keeps your hands and head free for other things. Also remember that it's moving _fast,_ making aiming difficult at times. 9) Other than most heavies, its speed make it very unattractive for arty. 10) In your opinion, how many of the shots you made in the three games would bounce off the front of a V/IV? 11) Why do you pick a tank for a quick Long Run if it's not overpowered? 12) Finally, I'm puzzled how anyone seeing one of these things in battle or driving one himself (I assume, it has been a few years) can not immediately see that this thing is outrageously, bizarrely broken. The numbers make a more solid case, but that doesn't mean that they are needed. It's a horrible tank, and driving it is cheating. Don't drive it, don't recommend it, don't even mention it. Mock players driving it, and point out the fact that _they_ are not getting good results, _the tank_ does.
@@korbendallas5318 point 10 depends on how the opponent is playing it. I’d naturally be firing prem cos I’m a scrub but at their lower plate I’m confident I’d pen. If I was RB/RTing then most likely a bounce. Point 11, I mainly play the captured KV-1 as that’s just as ridiculous tbh 😂 On a serious note though I can see your point of view and nice work on the statistics by the way. You done your homework. Are you at least thankful that the days of 5 man platoons on these are now a thing of the past?
@@XsilbsX 10) I am talking about specifically the shots you've taken, including snap shots. My point is not that the V/IV is invincible, but that you have to take extra effort (aiming, change to premium, whatever the situation requires) to even get a chance to do damage. 11) The captured is simply too slow to be as broken as the V/IV, and it drops much harder in tier VII games. That said, there is no reason why it should be faster than a regular KV-1. I liked five-man-platoons, but they are more trouble than they're worth. If I want to do quick Long Runs I drop to tier IV. There are even more overpowered tanks, but they are all tech tree, and there a lot of them....
WG: We need to make some quick money. Pz. V/IV: Hold my Beer. I only played that tank a few times but 6 high calibers, 2 steel walls and 32 K/D tell me it is OP. 😁
It’s basically a Tier 6 tank with pref matchmaking…on the other side, you used to face tier threes…and the clubbing would begin. I got one in an op somewhere, and sold it pretty quickly…it’s just filth, plain and simple.
@@Zapranoth-lf8nt ahh man I’d never ad is selling prems bro just in case you get one in a chest. The gold / silver duplicate earn is why I keep my premium tanks
It's a beast of a tank, a total pain in the ass, but it's a blast to play, especially with a buddy. I've been running a ramming build on it.
