Why Germany is the only nation with no acces to Light/fast scout tank at Rank III?

234/2 should be rank III. It really should.

Same as the BR bumped PzIV H and J. They will be 4.0 soon, but it seems they’re stuck at rank II as well. vehicles around 3.7 and 4.0 should not be rank II.

If the Pz.Sfl.Ic were modeled more faithfully to its historical shape, it would gain about 9 degrees of gun depression in exchange for limited turret traverse. It would probably become much more usable than it is now.
And, removing the turret traverse mechanism could make the vehicle a little lighter.
or, they could implement a different variant/model as the ‘second vehicle’ in War Thunder. I heard that the Pz.Sfl.Ic had slightly different turret shapes on the first and second vehicles.

Oh men what’s wrong with the German mains lately!? Their win rate has suddenly shot up only at BR 4.7??
You know why… that’s the reason right?

So another spg?
I guess there are a couple of spgs out there that have scouting…
(are there any light tanks with limited turret traverse?)

Is this Arcade or RGB?

And what is the reason?

GRB.
The insanely good win rate is probably because the Sd. kfz. 234/ 2 is absolutely everywhere in the BR 3.0 to 4.7 bracket. Some of those “Die hard Germany mains” are really sweating it and trying hard.
They’ve got guts.

Honestly, as long as it can actually scout and it’s small and fast, I’m totally fine with it being an SPG. The playstyle is pretty much identical to the current Pz.Sfl. IC anyway.

Yep its easy to dominate the cap-game with this. You get first caps before enemy teams do. You can scout and kill here and there. Maintain map control much better than with any other tank. When you get killed, you can directly spawn into a plane, bomb some enemies, then spawn the other 234/2.

It just shows how important speed is. Maneuverability. Neither armor nor raw firepower can compete. Its easy to understand now, how M18 Hellcat dominated WT GRB that long (before its BR was bumped).

Los! Los! Los!

In 4.7 Germany only have the PakPuma thats the reason.

Wait… shit.
Since this is “Global Vehicle Stats” the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 doesn’t matter. I confused it with the country-specific win rates.
This is so embarrassing lol.

Are they cursed with some kind of condition where they start suffering as soon as light tanks are added to German Rank 3?

The M24 light got one BR step bumped up and immeadetly gets re-tiered to rank III.

German 3.7 and even 4.0 (!) still not planned to get rank III clearance. Thats a huge thing. Rank II is just so supermeh in times of battlepass and perma running event.

Only a few m24 were send to rank 3 while some already were rank 3 in other nations, most of the tanks that got moved up in br are the same rank, all t34, all m4 and the cronwell are still rank 2

The US and Chinese M24’s were bumped up because I pointed out that they were Rank II whereas all other Chaffee’s were Rank III, when there were zero differences between them. So they’re just correcting a really old and odd TT mistake now.

I did also advocate for the Puma to rank up, but that has fallen on deaf ears.

Edit: As for why I did not advocate for the other M24’s to go down to Rank II: simple, there are more Chaffees in Rank III then Rank II, so it was most logical to level the field at Rank III.

Context is required

The finnish (SWE) and the Italian Panzer IV are both rank III. TT and prem alike. Same with Stug IIIG. German one is useless at rank II and foreign nation one gets ofc rank III.

Its infair. On what occasion should I play rank II vehicles? They have abysmal payouts and nothing applies for BP challenges, tasks or events.

And not just the 4.0 Panzer IVs. The Shermans and T-34s should be rank 3 as well.

On one hand I understand that they want to discoruege sealclubbing, so you can’t progress with the battlepass… But then why they don’t make it in a way, that allows new players grind event’s and battlepass in their tank 1-2 vehichles? That would make semce, and not just screw over everyone.

3.7 puma feels best around 6.0.
Why?
Because you can oneshot hellcats with HE xd

Of course they are. Nothing is ever done to help the player.

Iv been using 4.0 US to grind rank 4. They could of atleast put it in rank 3 as its now a dead vic.
Maybe its me but every single change makes the game worse

How it is a dead vic? Play them if you like them, no one is forcing you to grind only with them…

4k.rp.for 9 kills is already as squeeky as it gets. Dont need any less RP and as tbe 4.0 vics are rank 3 its where it should be
