I agree with you, but it is what always happens in this game, a tank can have good performance, decent armor and above all mobility, which is what gives it more possibilities to attack enemies from its side, but as a gaijin it does not give it damage decent at Full AP makes it a mediocre vehicle in which in many cases you have no chance against tanks from the side, since when piercing it does not damage anyone and the enemy only has to turn and fire its APHE to give you an instakill, for For example, it is extremely common for the fuel tanks of the KV and T34 to completely stop the damage of the Full AP bullets.

My personal:
1- Panzer 4, due to GREAT gun
2- T-34 , great mobility and decent armour. The gun takes mastery but works well when mastered.
3- M4 , doesnt really appeal to me, mid mobility, mod gun and mid armour.

T-34s are the speed guys with good armor good ammunition post-pen power but mediocre penetration,
M4s are the slow but surely ones, can take a while to reach the front but they got some advantage like the vertical stabilization,
Pz IVs are modest, even with flat 90° 80mm of armor they can sometimes hold some shots if using add-on armor, the Bef Wg Pz IV are surely my favorite of this family, good cannon but lacking of armor, decent mobility.
But personally, I would take the Pz IV even not getting that good armor, no stabilization at low speed or good acceleration, surely they can do something, in general, it would be like if a M4 and a T-34 had a baby.
Cool looking tank (if it had the exhausts would be even better, looking like a spoiler in a sport car):
Maybe my favorite cruiser tank in British tech tree. I like how it can go fast like crazy and take a good spot in a short period of time.
And if the player knows the enemy movement and where he’s going to shoot, he can easily both angle the turret and chassis. I could do that against Pz IVs and M4s.

I use all 3 a hell of a lot and all 3 are very different and force a different style of gameplay from me. T34 I think best overall thanks to the Stalinium 😆.I find the Brittish tanks to be potato firing cannon fodder.
Sherman is the only one worth talking about here boys.
They are all great frankly, each amazing at what they do.

British tanks cut through everything and with highly accurate gun.
I find that when I die in another nations tank my thoughts are usually “damn, if only I was in a British tank” genuinely, the pen values, the reload, the accuracy, the mobility and even armour.
The M4(A1) has superior mobility to the PzKpfw IV, better firepower than a Pz IV, better armour by a significant margin, better gun handling and better survivability.

Certainly not the game I am playing.When i fire a shot in a British tank that I know would be a killer for any other and watch it do nothing, I think " why am I even playing this potato firing peice of shit.Then the other guy fires back and my tin foil armour does nothing. Seeing uk tanks on the field is joy ,it’s an easy kill.Only exception is the churchill, assuming you can get into battle before it ends
Sorry you have that experience :(

British WW2 tank cannons are among the least accurate tank cannons in the game.
For example, the 57 mm 6 pounder cannons have maximum dispersion angles of 0.12°, over 4 times worse than something like the US 76 mm (0.027°). The 17 pounder is almost 3 times worse with 0.075°.

I dont know about the stats.
I find various brit guns to be very accurate and with decent rounds, not all but alot.
17’lber is lovely
6’lber is lovely at its br
75mm at 3.3 is nice
84mm is a beast
105
120
all great imo and my fave guns to use.
British cannons, as said, is the least accurate at longer ranges, if you get lucky enough, even at mid ranges, and that’s why I like the cruiser tanks, taking a good spot fast as possible and leaving there if a enemy reaches.
M4 can be significantly faster than Pz IV, but I’ve never seen a M4 begin better than a 75 long Pz IV and the cast chassis on the M4A1 just kills it, you can’t angle.
You mean the driver’s cupola, yes, I don’t know if it was a design intention but that thing is genuinely strong.
And they’re, and that’s where the fun begins, it’s a true challenge.

The gun and rounds are great, you just gotta know where to shoot, and apds is high velocity so its easier.
I dont get where people are coming from.
Boi, I remember trying to hit a Pz III at like 600-800m and my shots just went all over the place.
So annoying.
??
Even completely unangled, it’s still got some of the best frontal armour of any tank at 3.3.

“??” what? You would prefer that M61 with 104mm pen at 10m over PzGr 39 with 137mm pen at 10m? Both at the same BR:
M4A1
Pz IV F2
Because it’s supposed to play without angling the armor, that’s why I said “you can’t angle”. The rounded corners are the frontal weak spot in this vehicle and others with the same design like the M4A1 (76) W, or M-51 Super Sherman.
