It just seems nomatter at what angle the incoming shell lands. They always penetrats.
Is there a trick to improve the rate Panzer IV deflects shells?

QFE11 o'clock is preferable to the 1 o'clock with the Pz IV because your ammo stowage bin on the left hull is pretty low, whereas the ready bin on the right sits higher.
I just keep moving until I am hull- or turret-down to avoid the angling games, in which cases the Soviets most invariably win.
Tiger and JS-2 are the heavies. Don't angle the panther, just take it on the glacis. T-34 have too high an armour rating and angling is over modeled. The Russian 85mm isn't a bad gun. And the ranges on most "offical" maps are 500m or less.Maybe the game just loads wrong or someone has a cheat. But there are times when I will have my heavy tank knocked off, even with perfect angle but my shots will hit their light tank when they are not angled at all and all my shots bounce off. I usually suspect something fishy at such times.
That's just Arad. The distances in the map favour the Northern side. Add in that the Russians have the faster tanks and the clown car, it's an easy win for them. If the Germans "rush" to North field, then they lose South Field before anyone could reach North field.Other fishy things are those Clan sites where the Russians will win in Arad before I even have time to get my tank over our spawn hill.
Ranari said:Ironically though, I think, overall, the best tank in the game is the T34/85. I'd argue the Panther, but it's just not common enough. The T34/85 is fast, has great armor, a good gun, reloads fast, and has a secondary MG. It's like it's not best at any one thing, but it can do everything very well. I like it, but hey, I'm biased. That's just opinion
Ranari said:When it comes to tank vs tank combat, Russian tanks are superior. A well crewed Tiger is a beast of a tank if you angle it, but the only tank that can consistantly stand up to Russian armour imho is the Panther, which is only found in very small numbers in this game. Russian tanks are also a lot faster which makes them more mobile. Crew/player quality can go a long, long, LONG ways in determining a tank vs tank battle though.
have all that great armor

hehe, i never take p4's any more. the apcr ammo for the panzer lll has scarry good penetration some tank website state that the panzer 3's apcr penetration was 130mm with the pzgrb40 apcr round, which is somewhat replicated ingame, the panzer 3 might not have all that great armor, but its gun can even damage perfectly angeled t34's...
