- When somebody says «German armor», we immediately think about Panthers… Tigers… the glorious Tiger II… and that’s hardly surprising, they’re all iconic vehicles. But if we start to tell the tale of the Panzerwaffe from the very beginning, we can’t overlook the fast beasts of Blitzkrieg. Panzers. Let’s talk about them!

Tanks in WT videos: soak up tons of dmg
Tanks when I play: glass cannons
Depends on which tank you're talking about... Yeah the pz. II/III/IV have really poor armor and can be one shot pretty easily, but when you get to the panther it starts to get interesting... I'd even go as far as to say the panther A is the best brawler germany has tier for tier.
Learn how to position yourself better. People complain about this in the Maus as well, so much so that it was removed for new players. But if you angle your hull, fire, and the angle your turret, even APFSDS and HEAT and HEAT rockets have a tough time doing anything more than maybe taking out your cannon barrel and/or gun breach. It's still one of the most effective tanks I own, and all german heavy tanks are similar in this way.
@@xavier4519 the pz4 c at 1.3 or 7 is a beast because no one can stop its ap or heat round at the br and it almost always a 1 shot kill lol
Once you get to rank 4 or 5 most people aren’t dumb enough to hit your frontal armor and just targets your weak points of flank around also you aren’t going to be head on most of the time or you face AP that gose straight thought your armor or you get up tiered
I'd say it is your play. I see so many people shooting the same spotz 2-5 times and then get killed. If you do that too, you have to understand that the most reliable and fast way to kill a tank in WT is to kill its crew. So in a standart situation my 1st shot goes to the turret, to kill the gunner so he is defenseless, 2nd shot kills driver and co-driver. Then GTFO. Hope that helps. :)
Gaijin: you won't run into HEAT at this BR

There is also the Italian p40
4:50 , the side skirts were actually not for stopping heat rounds. The side skirts were for stopping Russian anti tank rifles as they could pen the side quite easy.
Mighty Mediocre thank you! I was going to say that. Lol
For WT purposes, not much, if they applied a more realistic behavior, the Sideskirts would make KPVT MGs useless as they would dissipate KE before it hit the side armor.....
All while also able to make CE ammo detonate prematurely which is what makes that Panzer Skirts so useful for that in game
@@andrehashimoto8056 even the sideskirts in game don't really help against HEAT. In real life it is even discussed that the sideskirts on the panzers even made the heat rounds stronger.
Well, they were tested for protection against HE, the test was positive and the Schurtzen changed throughout the war, and was more to protect against hollow point rounds after initially being used as an extra layer of defence against the soviet AT rifles
Mighty Mediocre that is false. The heatrounds were very sensitive and exploded on the skirts, leaving room free for them to dissipate their enery into the air and not the tanks armour.
Wher is my speedy little Panzer II H?
The speedy boi
Baby Tigeeeer
they'll get to that when they start talking about MBTs
Ah, the -worse- *superior* puma! Shh pakwagen, you stay out!

What about the panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus
Τhis should be top comment

Right and Panzerkampfwagen V Panther, Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger and Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (I think it was the Löwe, but it isn't in the game anyways.

We only count to VI in wt
"Ausf." is pretty unspellable, especially in English. Instead, you can use the word "Ausf." is an abreviation of, "Ausfürung" that translates into "variant"
Ausf. means ausführung.
Or "model" would be another suitable translation.
what bothers me is how he's saying panzerkampf WAGON. It's pronounced VAGON.
@Claus Bohm matthieu spellt it wrong
@@MarshalBeard No! It's pronounced PanzerkampfWAGEN.
Like Volkswagen (VW)
The side skirts are meant to protect against anti tank rifle fire.
Not HE or HEAT.
And many aa guns as Russian 14,5 (same ammo as at rifles) and some as american or other nations use sand for that (no armor for standar ammo but useful for heat)
Laughs in 14.5mm
literally the comment I was looking for right as that was said
why?
It is for Anti tank rifle, dummy it's only 5mm thick
Panzer IV F2 is the peak of this family.
Yeah. Too bad many people who play it are dumb.
Huh... No wonder I feel uneasy whenever the bulk of my team are F2s
@@erikfaringer9593 They are in the Anime stage, they think having to fight closer to the enemy makes the gun better. This phase isn't gone until they get to MBTs and by that point, ATGMs would already force them to quit WarThunder.
Fire Power701 exactly, they dont even realize how good of a long range fighter than F2 actually is. For a medium tank it’s good some scary penetration rates
@@manuelalamil2637 The only way I even died to them is if I get outnumbered, My KV-1 managed to hold back 3 Panzer IVs due to angling. But they do often get my gun. and it becomes a stalemate that last for about three minutes
Please no name butchering
Edit: There is name butchering.
Should've asked Mike for help.
@Mein name ist Peter Müller Butchering doesn't mean not speaking like a native speaker, it means making obvious pronunciation mistakes that even a short period of study would help with, like when they pronounced Jagdpanther with a j sound instead of a y sound in their German tank guide video.

Best take ever
my great grandfather fought in a panzer 4 platoon of 5 tanks they took out quite some shermans and stuarts and other tanks but since my great grandfather did such a good job on commanding them he got promoted to a tiger 1 heavy tank but in his second battle he died by a bomb
i dont know any specifics this is hwat my great grandmother has told me

To bad late in the war IT was just as likely to die by cas as an enemy tank

Bruh, got revenge bombed by some dude
I just bought the Panzer IV H today first game I have four tanks kill but lose the game at least I have fun
The pz4h is quite a beast, and one of my favorite tanks in the game
Don't care
The WW2 Tanks of Germany are the best to play, since high tier germany is now bad af (7.0-8.7)
good luck with your german tech tree xaxaxaxa)))))
Sad you will never know the glorious Maus
I ended up researching the "Panther" Tank Family, and had a fun time playing them! I was able to get around 3-4 tank kills depending on map, BR, and enemy awareness.
Gaijin: the panzer 3 series is actually good
American M4 tanks: lmao
Soviet T-34 tanks: xaxaxaxa
Panzer 3 L: _cries in shower_
Accurate
The Panzer 3s are good, they are very versatile and have given me lots of amazing games.
Isnt historically, panzer IV is developed because of this?
@@Dz73zxxx panzer IV just filled a different function as a more infantry support hence its slow speed meanwhile panzer III was used to combat other tanks. They were developed at the same time.
I hate T34s so much
Ausf H one of The best tank in my opinion! !
Not only its the most heavily armored, that variant gives you a short learning curve of what's to come.... Am talking about the Tigers and Panthers specifically
As long as it dosent get up tiered
I as a german get irritated by you saying Ausf. and not Ausführung (Edition)

I used it up until I saw some vids about a month ago... so I've been using low damage shells until rank 2..... about a year
The only good apcr is the one the m48 forces you to use stock
I only use it on a King tiger to pen the side of the t-95. Other than that, it's pretty useless since almost every tanks has sloped armor.
"You wont run into any opponents using HEAT at this BR." What about the M4A3 (105), M8 HMC, SU 122, 75/18 M41, 75/32 M41, 75/34 M42, 105/25 M43, 75/43 M43 and Sav m43 (1946)?

Please update all early tank/air models.
I want to see a FlaMG (MG 34) at the commander hatch of the Pz. IV H. :-)
FlaMG = Flugabwehr-Maschinengewehr. (Mostly an MG34 at the commander hatch to (try) shoot down incomming fighters/CAS)
Panzer 3 has roughly the same survivability of a crippled child in a house fire.
The interior layout means one shot to the turret kills 3 of the crew and random shrapnel spread can kill the rest. Angling your armor won't help if you get up tiered because that M4 did see you, and that corner plate looks very attractive
I am in need of JOSEPH STALIN family of tanks review...
Yes, the Losif Stalin family
Oh yeah the Joseph Stalin family would be good
I had a great experience using the panzer III L.
And the Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus?
Joke: Zimmerit was used to protect against magnetic mines. The only force to issue magnetic mines was - Germany
The implication was that soviets would copy the technology so the germans thought ahead to prevent it from being used against them
Gaijin: ausf B has "survivability" me: (violently laughs loudly)
The panzer IV G and H variants had 80mm frontal armor but in-game the 20mm tracks make the amour 100mm, so that's nifty
The Panzer IV G is probably my favourite German tank in the game. I play it with my 5.7 BR loadout in tank RB
It's an unsung hero. Actually the best-balanced of the Panzer IV's. I've had more success with it than any other variant.
We are still pissed of by the maus incident
*sad noises*
I love the pzkpfw iv f2, it is the best tank for its Battle Rating, and nothing even comes close to it.
I really like early pz 4s. Idk why are people not playing them much but 75mm with 3.5s of reload and powerful aphe and heat is always a big yes to me
APCBC is really good, but you need HEAT against some french stuff.
I ususally carry about 36 APCBC and 6 HEAT shells.
Lolpenning a bis frontally is just so so satisfying
I dont like the low velocity and low penetration for the aphe round.
9:41 I so enjoy and I have a great true story that everyone MUST read it:
Once upon a time in War Thunder there were players playing with the following tanks: Tiger II (10.5 cm), Panther II, Coelian and Maus. War Thunder decided to upset the players since they were playing happily. War Thunder removed the tanks they were playing and this made the players sad. Those tanks are legends that the future generation of players will never know what are they and what happened to them. The legend of those tanks are still discussed in War Thunder community and will never be forgotten.
I magicaly found these tanks one day on my right side of the research tab. Guess i was fast enough to get choosen by them
Argonien another story of a player who had the full responsibility of the legendary tanks...
I will always enjoy killing t55's in my tiger 2 105 and panther 2
T54 no T55 lol I dumb
Adam Kowalski players like you should be banned from this community of War Thunder
Next : stug family or tank destroyer family of germany
or as Next : the Panther -Family of Germany that was Cool , i love the Panther and All another Tanks from War Thunder
The main thing I learned from the Panzer 3 is don't get shot because everyone will die or your ammo will go bye bye
+1, I learned it too
5:28 actually there is a french sherman tank with a 105mm HEAT round at this rank
The Panzer 4 ausführung G is my most loved tank in the game: Decent mobility, armor and fire rate made me have fun in countless battles. I've spent hours driving that tank and I was very exited to see the tank in real life in a museum in Germany this year. (Auto- und Technikmuseum Sinnsheim) Love the game, keep it up Gaijin!
armor ahahhahahahaa
Every german guy thinking: pls say ausf letter by letter or say ausführung ...
5:05
Seeing that a pz3 destroyed a variant of the t34 is already an achievement for the whole German tech tree
Gotta get through all that stalinium.
As someone who plays both tech trees, the feul tanks on a t34 make it feal invincible in some scenarios.
Like when a pamzer 3 unloads there entire ammo rack into ones sides but to no effect.
I've been on both sides of this lol
Cool, bring the maus back
When somebody says german armour, we are thinking UnBlaNcE
Hi Gaijin. Since modern machines comes to the game, you are constantly focusing on them. Will you add something for WWII section? We love them too.
@Hanrry Oliveira almost non of them existed so no.
oh yeah there aren't much ww2 vehicles already
@@KingSpittusFactus let me guess
You don't like lowtier gameplay because you think high tier is soo superior. WW2 was a stunningly massive event and had an amazing amount of iconic and interesting vehicles that people would love to play. Many think that Gaijin focusing on higher tiers is absurd because lots of players don't have access to these things and the size war thunder is, it takes a lot of time and effort to get to these new vehicles. All we're asking for is a few new weird and wacky or just interesting vehicles. (Personally I'd love to see more armored cars)
@@KingSpittusFactus ALSO, would you like me to list allied tanks that never went into production? Aaaaand, don't forget that the Germans could use some prototype stuff around this br, as my 1942 panther gets killed by 50's MBTs more times than I can count. ADDITIONALLY, the R3 t-20, (br 3.7) which was only made in prototype form, fights early ww2 vehicles. Know what's funny about that? IT WAS MADE IN 1982. CLEARLY, historical realism is not a massive priority, so removing vehicles seems strange and unnecessary under these circumstances. (Quick note the Abrams was made in 1980. Just for a bit of perspective, that's 35 years after ww2 ended. And the R3 was made after that)
@@an_f-14_tomcat There's a difference between never went into production and never even existed.. also why should i care that a post wae vehicle is at low tier.. im not such a cry baby who cries about my KT getting killed by a centurion

W. Thunder player: What a beauty.
could you please add the "131" decal id be so happy to play that tiger
@ur mom yea and the pz 4 g's turret is incorrect in never had a viewing port on the left side
@ur mom yea like with the tracks on the side of the tiger turret they are so annoying
Pz IV F2- Me and my buddy were camped on top of a hill kind of hidden by some rocks, we were sniping on one of the hard points when some enemy tanks found where we were, so we went under HEAVY fire, my friends Sherman didn't stand a chance against the T34s and M4s so he blew up fairly quick after getting a few kills, to my surprise my tank stayed in the fight for the majority of the match landing me seven kills in that tank till a KV-2 got a lucky shot that destroyed my entire crew 😂
Pzkpfw III and IV were used to protect Tigers's sides in Russia.
The narrator voice is so cozy. Makes me feel like a child on christmas.
As a german it makes me crazy that he says "Ausf." instead of "Ausführung"
however who put the ammunition hold of the panzerkampfwagen IV there was just a genius, leaps into the air at the very first blow ...

Still,never forget!!! By the end of the war, the Panzer IV ( later models) comprised 75% of Germany’s complete armored force!!
Cancel out the GE changes or babay Gaijin. Yeah you are a game developer, yeah you are responsibilities to the share holders, yeah you gotta eat every now and then, but thats why so many people are buying XM-1s, T55-AMs and many other kinda broken vehicle under the name of premium advantage (yeah i bought couple of broken tanks too, i know i'm part of the problem here). It is fun and games until you decide to push people to higher prices and make who can spend couple of bucks to decide if he should eat every now and then or enjoy him/herself. Before you can make a joke out of what i wrote i just wanna say that its been years since i've joined to a "ALMOST" full battle. Plane AB, Plane RB, Tank AB, Tank RB, Naval AB and Naval RB are all half full at best. So I hope you will reconsider your decision and cancel out the change. Sell them low, sell them in huge volumes, make discounts to returning players, otherwise they wont be leaving the new shiny game they will possibly be playing, just because you swallowed your pride just like WoT or AW and send a shitty freebie their way.
this, exactly this
The added skirt armor on the panzer four and three wasn’t meant for HEAT projectiles but actually to counter Russian anti tank rifles that could easily penetrate the side armor.
Im no tank expert but the skirt might be effective against HE or Heat shell because the shell hit the skirt first then denottonated earlier (shell detonated a bit far from the rieal armor
Muhammad Taufiq Hail Khairil Azhar oh it definitely is effective against that, but the intended purpose was to prevent the anti tank rifles
Will there be Yugoslav or Serbian vehicles(sorry if something is bad written)
"so you can relive the epic tank" tank gets ambushed
yep, thats pretty much what ive relived
LOL
Panzer I:
Am I a joke to you?
Germans introduced armored skirts to fight soviet anti tank rifles, not heat projectiles
You missed the Panzer 1. You could have at least mentioned the Panzerjäger 1 and the Flakpanzer 1
:(
The Panzer 1 is not in the game, the Flakpanzer is an SPAA and not a tank.
We not gonna forget about the panzer 1 with its PZG jäger and the training model which had the panzer 4 F2 turret and a snubbed nosed 5cm cannon
Plss do the BF-109 family!!! I'm interested (like so war thunder can see this)

flamingrubys11 The M18 does not use the M10 hull. The M36 uses the M10 hull and is not hull breakable.
I love Panzers IV, especially H variant. It is a tank which fought through whole war (in its many variants) and it was the core tank until the very end, despite weehraboos fantasies (Panthers and Tigers were elite rather uncommon tanks). It's very capable tank even when brought above its BR range (there you need to take half of your ammo in APCR and need to unlearn aiming at CoM).
Despite its reputation of glass canon, when you take less than 28 pieces of ammo combined, learn how to hide your weakspots (driver front armor and place between 2nd and 3rd wheel, little bit tricky as angling one reveals the other) and stop using it as brawl tank -- it becomes quite tanky.
It's relatively fast, has small silhouette, fast reload... And the gun if dreams.
However -- do not forget StuG(H), as StuG is love, StuG is life!
Panther wasn’t uncommon but Tiger was.
What about the Panzer VIII though?
Never saw combat nor was finished, not worth to be mentioned.
MightyGriffin It was finished and saw more combat than prototypes that are still in game.
@@NvrchFotia Ohh, someone knows history. Yes, 2 tanks were built, but they never saw any action. And with "action" I mean that they didn't fight. Maus 1 was blown up by the Wehrmacht, Maus 2 was captured by the soviets.

Just me i thought of 'Girls und Panzer' when the Panzer IV appeared?
I started watching the series because it had a panzer 4
But I lost every match because of my panzer tanks.T-34 took single shot on my panzer because the front armors are too weak to resist the HE shell.

Those panzer II's are freaking deadly at their BR, especially in the hands of a capable tanker. Give them to someone that knows whatthey are doing and it isn't even fair.

@Ridha Gherri ik
they grow up so fast!
Loving these videos. More, Gaijin! MOAR!!!
Still need the Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. D for my Ōarai Girls Academy custom skin, though. 😊
the skirts were designed to add protection against anti-tank rifles. the russian 14.5 could penetrate up to 40mm of armor. they had to add skirts to p iv and pz iii hulls.
These skirts were not meant against HEAT when they were introduced. Else, you´d see them also on Panther and Tiger (where I´d really need them).
No, they were introduced to protect the sides against anti-tank rifles! The Panzer III and IV have not much armour at the side so that even a 50 cal with the right ammunition could penetrate it! The Soviet 14.5mm machine gun would make short work of them!
The idea was that most projectiles deform on impact, even when the armour is too thin to stop it. Then keeping a gap to the main armour prevented the projectile from being guided by the mass around it, thus it could tumble and the chances were high that it would hit the main armour sideways.
As an added bonus, it does work against HE, HESH and HEAT, though HE were probably the initial concern.
I had the greatest success with the Panzer IV. Of all of the lines I played this tank is the sweet spot.
The real first variant of pz IV was carrying 5cm gun it was called ,, PzKpfw IV ausf. A
I like these series. You learn something new and see all the comparissons and developement as the BR climbs higher. My suggestion would then be to cover the developement of Cruiser/Infantry tanks in the UK tree or maybe the developement of the tanks based on the Type 97 templet of the Japanese medium tank branch. ^^ Hope you guys agree.
