KV-1b is premium and can’t even be bought nowadays.
Hetzer is funny, while the front is powerfull, you are made of paper and destined to get strafed repeatedly.
JP IV is solid.
But both can be succesfully outmaneuvered and a lot of enemies can just tackle them frontally.
But indeed, for TD enjoyers 4.3 is very good, Stug IIIG is sad though and no decent medium tank is also problematic (Pz IVH plays like a TD too at this BR).

Bro you joined an ongoing match, you cant complain about being out of position, look at your team on the mini map they are in the mirro position of that m10

If you don’t have premium vehicles (majority of players I’m guessing) the German 4.3 lineup is stuck with SPGs (and an spaa).
You can add the Pz 4 H - but you are dropping down 2 pegs to get a medium/turreted tank.

tiger H1 is one shot kupola literally my favorite thing to bully in the Jumbo
Of courseeeeee. My skill playing just change with every nation.
For sure the continues movily nerfs, lack of movility and light vehicles between 3.7 to 6.7, the ONLY NATION with no acces to scouting in rank 3 “cuz reasons”, removal of sniping points in almost every map, and so on dont affect the perform of germany is just “cuz bad players”.

Thats one of the biggest problems with germany. Basically relay in entire lineups of premiuns or rare vehicles for be competetive.
Just for compare: Regular TT tiger nor addon armor, no camo net, the s-launchers can block you gun. Puma not bad but very poor gun and Waffentrager a medioce TD with good gun but very poor armor and movility. Now go a spend money, Tigers from 2fronts pack Addon armor and camo net, no s-lauchers can block you gun, Pakpuma with insane good gun and movility and VFW long shoting every 5 seconds. The difference is abysmal.

I agree that 3.3-5.0 for germany isn’t the best, but 5.7-6.7 is fantastic, you can easily uptier the puma, the 50mm still pens basically everything from the side, and panthers are faster than shermans, while having much better armor.
Even the lower BRs still aren’t terrible. Sure I would definitely take a Sherman or T-34 over a Panzer IV, but Japan for example has it even worse, the Chi Nu is straight up worse than the Panzer IV in every way, and the Chi-To is basically a Panzer IV G a whole 1.0 BR higher. The cromwell is fast but does no post pen and has no reverse gear, the P40 is worse than the Pz IV. Speaking of the IV G, try facing it in a Matilda, where it can melt through your armor and one shot you, it’s much faster, and you can maybe pen the turret and get 1 to 2 crew members at a time.

Conversely, you can be a decent player and still hate a particular playstyle.
The reason I used the Waffentrager as an example is largely because it’s playstyle is very similar to how most German tanks at the tier should be played. Slower, defensively, utilizing power positions to lock down areas of the map. If you think a tank that has to be played like that “objectively sucks”, then you’re not coming at this entire nation with the right frame of mind.
So, a 2.2 K/D on a vehicle means it sucks now? That really is some kind of logic you’re working with.
Don’t forget it also has damn good mobility with 13,6 HP/ton.
If Waffelstomper had 11-12HP/ton, I’d say it’s a pretty good vehicle. Instead it can race vs Churchill III and lose badly.
It certainly means you are NOT making your team win with that pathetic K/D on a TD you SURE AS HELL don’t take caps with, since it has THE WORST mobility among all 5.0-6.0 bracket techtree vehicles in this game. Only premium Black Prince is worse.
EDIT: And Tog II.
Such sad K/D in a tank you consider “good” means this tank is NOT the important contributor in your WR, because with 2,2K/D you’d be exactly where I am, which is around 40-45%.
Ehhh, maybe if you get downtiers.
Fighting US 6.7s and 7.0s is rough(which you seem almost every match)
Coupled with their CAS it can be an uphill battle. I’m not saying it’s the end of the world, but I wouldn’t call it easy.

Well if you buy the premiun KV you can obtain a very solid lineup with the VK plus several FW-190 for example.
Yes, he can do the job but still rank 2 and is kms aways from something like Hellcat even the m24 is better despite having the same BR. I dont know why Pakpuma is limited to premiun when USA have acces to 3 hellcats.
Like i said Germany is the only nation ingame without acces to fast scout vehicle in rank 3 for some unknow reason.
Well Chi-to is a bit better specially in post pen damage and turret armor one of the weakest point in pz.IV (50mm vs 75mm) but agree Chi-tos should move down to 4.3 or even 4.0.
Same for Panzer IVH he need move to 4.0 and rank 3.

Those are medium and heavy tanks
Ok you didnt read the rest of my comment, as i state the 2014 players including me, had to face is4, is3, t54 every single match in our tiger 2, are you saying now that the tigers are actually full br lower than the is4, and 1.3 br lower than t54 is not player base skill issue? Im not even a great tanker and im always landing on top of my team in german ww2
Winning a game isn’t just about taking caps, but holding them, or denying them to the enemy, and that’s what the Waffentrager does very well. You work your way to an important sightline that locks down either a cap point, or a heavily trafficked area that leads to a cap, and you prevent enemies from being able to push it.
In fact, most of my German tanks around that BR range have a ~60% win rate and a ~2 K/D. Maybe you should take something from the fact that when I manage those stats, I can have a positive impact on my team’s chances of winning, and when you manage them, you can’t.
