Around 15-20% difference (will look up the exact numbers later) barely noticeable? Well, trust me, it makes a difference, even if you don’t feel like it.
And if people around you aim for cupola at distance/vs moving target, when there’s entire UFP to hit on non-pay2win Tiger, it’s on them.
You get hit under the sponsons cause you angle too much.
You angle too much because front is super weak.
In case of Pay2Win variant all you need is 25-30 degrees, where the side remains impenetrable for everything but hardest hitters.
Generally, Pay2Win Tiger is so good I’m seriously thinking about selling my Class 3 P and buying the pack.
Exactly.
When there is a big open map and Germans are not actually outgunned heavily (6.0 Panther vs Su-85M at distance is a matchup heavily in.favor of Soviets), they perform very nicely if the team is kinda OK.
Damn, it’s super entertaining when Tigers and Panthers advance in an organised fashion, Ostwind IIs blast enemies out of the skies (unless they feel like tanking a few 37mm M-geschoss without taking serious damage, which is very common nowadays). But it requires very specific set of maps and conditions.
It’s not just their CAS aircraft — their fighters are terrible in Ground RB as well, with almost no dogfighting capability. Any Yak, Spitfire, or Zero would wipe the floor with them.
I believe the optimal alternative among the proposed vehicles is the “7.5 cm Selbstfahrlafette L/41 Modell 2”.
Additionally, it is possible to add a variant of Pak Puma equipped with the 7.5 cm L/48 kwk40.
I do wish Gaijin would flesh out the light tanks line a lot better for Germany’s tree. I want the Pak Puma badly as well. My buddy paid $1,337.69 for his(and then it promptly dropped in price after that, making the meme price completely not worth it). The regular Puma is fun and all, but it just is not all that great above its current BR. And with nothing else to fill that role, you can definitely feel the gap.
There’s a lotta neat vehicles they could add still. Shame that low tier is nearly completely forgotten about these days, or used as an excuse for another copy n paste artillery piece/premium/event vehicle.
Yeah, I’m spading Japan and German air atm. It’s like night and day difference. Bf109s and FW190s as well as the TA perform badly in most situations. You need to play them in a very specific way, and even then you’re far from guaranteed a victory.
While many Japanese planes, you basically win if you avoid the first clash and get the enemy into a turn fight. Which is so much more easy.
Im so lost here,do yall exepct to have a vehicle every single BR?
1.0/1.3/1.7/2.0/2.3… and so on?Thats gonna take a really long time till they finish adding vehicles
The same i can say for US light vehicles…before the Stingray came,we had to use an 8.3 vehicle for 8.7/9.0/9.3/9.7 and no one blinked an eye
Somehow now you cant use a PZ4H/J at 4.0 even tho being 3.7
Speaking of light tanks in general during WW2…just stick with the Puma since thats what Germany had
They had Sd.Kfz. 250s for spotting maybe or anything based on that chassis which i doubt we will ever see in WarThunder without Infantry
You mean the absolute German tank mincer 2.7 SPAA, or the pay2win 1-shot 120mm autocannon wielding vehicle with way better mobility than chaffee (apart from topspeed, which is “only” 48km/h) and 10 degrees gun depression?
Very balanced indeed.
It has 95 penetration which means death to any German tank, but also to anything it can penetrate anywhere, because even if it misses, that thing will fire twice before you manage to turn your tank to respond.
Early Sweden has some horrible tanks with 37mm pew-pew gun, but also some of the most blatantly OP vehicles in game. Especially the pay2win ones. Absolutely disgusting.
LFP is not a weakspot, if you angle even a little bit, neither German 75 nor US 76 can pen. All they can do is pew-pew at turret weakspots the size of my coffee mug.
It absolutely roflstomps competent Pz IV player.
In what setting does Pz IV have advantage?
Maybe 500m sniping, as Pz IVH (the 3.7 one, because it actually can survive a hull shot unless it hits the glacis, lol) then can still pen M4A1 hull while M4A1 has to hit the turret, but that’s about it.
Pz IV H sits 1 BR step higher than m4A1, so it should be a superior tank. But it has 15% worse power to weight, armor comparably bad, gun with less post pen damage, no stab, way worse gun handling as a result, worse turret rotation.
