the pz 4 kurz aka the short barreled ones are only good cuz they have good heat
Actually they are really good even with APHE. It can basically spam 1 round every 4 or so seconds and it has 52mm pen and 100g HE filler. 50mm pen is usually enough for 1.3-2.3 and the heat should be used for the occasional open top or heavily armored vehicle. There is an abundance of light vehicles at 1.3-2.3 so the APHE will work very well

APHE can be bonkers too, specificaly on Pz IV C. More than enough pen for BR, one-shot potential against most of the targets, and no problem going through rubbish like fences/bushes that fuze HE/AT.
Also ~4 second reload + vertical ° help doing great job at just spamming rounds from some position.
Pz IV C is one of my go-for’s whenever I feel like I am done with mid/high-tier battles.
