    The StuG III F was my favorite vehicle in that tier back when I first started playing War Thunder, in spite of its weaknesses. Not really sure why, but I felt like I did consistently better with that one over the PzIV F2. I actually avoided the StuG III G entirely because it wasn't needed to unlock any other tanks in the tree. In fact, for similar reasons like that I didn't use any other tank destroyer until I got to the IV/70.
    Of course, I played Arcade back then (Realistic was an exercise in pointlessness), so that might have made the difference.

    Hello, Oxy! I have two main suggestions: first, in the case of the StuH42 (and other vehicles) I think it may be worth differentiating between "penetration" and "post-penetration damage" instead of the catch-all term "firepower", to make it clearer where strengths and weaknesses lie.
    Additionally I'd like to point out that while the T-34 747 (r) is pricey in terms of GE it does show up in the warbond shop, which does make it obtainable for "free"; I'm thinking in terms of having playtime in on another nation's tree and earning warbonds from daily missions that way before jumping into Germany.
    Looking forward to the mid-tier videos, especially since though they are overall quite good I have mixed feelings about the Panthers (especially when having to fight British sabot), and I'm interested in what you have to say about them! Keep up the good work!

    I've noticed that, occasionally, in the Pz IIIL and M that, under the right circumstances, Sherman shells will detonate between the spaced armor and body of the tank, leaving you unharmed. Being angled increases this chance a bit. I can't really recreate it in the armor view in the hangar, so take it with a massive grain of salt.
    Once had a sherman shoot 3 shells into me frontally with none doing any damage while I was trying to hit his weak points. Happened again somewhat recently too, so even after changing how penetration values are calculated it might hold true.
    I'd also say the speed and mobility of the Pz3's is a plus point. Max speed of about 30 Mph, with averages in the mid 20's across rough terrain is nice. They turn quite responsively, too.

As you have the Ducks and the 110 C-7. You did say purely preference, just wondering what changed? Also you do talk up the IL2 here, but not sure why you wouldn't use it, especially given it is a premium, over the others? I had been using that IL2, but the 110 is much faster, so will be trying it with my 4.0 atm. Also the whirble is 3.7 too, not sure why you wouldn't have it in there?

    50:15 I have gotten 6 kills in the Panzer 2H at 6.3 and beat up Su-100s, T-34/85s, Centurions, Pt-76s, and Bulldogs with this tank. Back before the days of the LeKPz M41, this was the only light tank that Germany had besides the puma that wasn't overly expensive. Mobility allows it to remain competitive at higher battle ratings where everything becomes slower or is lightly armored enough for you to take out. Also, the tank's small size gives it the ability to hide where many of the larger german tanks wouldn't be able to.

  • @Alpakinator

    You are right, explosive filler of and APPHE shell contributes to damage in a quite insignificant way except when it's counted in kilograms. Calliber is main factor to post pen damage. 100mm gun with 100g of TNT deals more damage than 90mm gun with 520g of TNT etc. Just the fact that APHE has more than 0g of TNT filler makes it deal it's great damage

  • @JonTTu111
    @JonTTu111 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    PZ III:s with extra armour are impervous to early MD5 fused shells, because they have like 0.1m fuse delay, so they detonate between extra plate and main armour. I have not played these low tier germans in years, so game mechanics might been changed since then. I took fighting T-34 & KV-1 tanks with J1 model as a challenge. I did learn their weakspots pretty easily and they were easily sent back to gulag. And when I got the extra armor versions, they were kinda trivial to deal.

  • @Luredreier
    @Luredreier 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    17:21
    I hate that I agree with you on that one...
    The j1 used to be nice back before the changes to how shells worked...
    Back then I could take out even shermans and KV-1s reliably in all the tier 2 panzer 3s...
    Now...
    Ugh, while still *possible* it's *so* painful...
    18:31
    A tiny difference in engine to weight ratio I believe?
    But yeah, the L is definitively a trade off well worth making as the weight is hardly noticeable while the armor definitively is.
    20:53
    I don't really use them after the shell changes...
    But before them I used the L for higher br matches and the M for lower br matches where the armor is more reliable and the trade off in weight vs the engine power is worth it.
    At higher br you're going to be penned anyway so I prefer the L there over the M as I find the mobility more useful in keeping myself alive then the armor there while the armor of the L is still worth it vs the J1.
    Of course back then the front armor of the L used to be reliable vs the sherman...
    21:33
    Depends on the br, it's actually *worse* then the L at higher brs in my opinion due to a increase in tanks that don't care about the armor.
    24:53
    I actually think of it as a long range tank, it *can* beat the Panzer 4 F2 in pen with the best HEAT round at longer ranges at some angles.
    It's shell is slow though so only useful long range vs stationary targets.
    27:00
    Well, in my about 5 k games in the Panzer 4 F2 I mostly use it as a semi-short range brawler to be honest.
    That said, my crews got a free gold star for this tank due to me having played it so much...
    And I've *also* maxed out things like the driving skill, reload etc...
    Heck, most of my crew even got maxed out health...
    (Yes, I know that I'd probably be better off with manual gear changes in terms of efficiency, but given my drivers skills I prefer having less to think about in that regard although I do have a keybind to change that on a moments notice if needed)
    29:43
    I *really* like it myself.
    But yeah, it's *definitively* not newbie friendly...
    That said, it's a fun vehicle to use and to make work.
    30:23
    Considering that I surprisingly often find myself getting killed after messing up in a real tank with zero kills only to become one of the top 3 players with this thing *not* just using it for ambushing I don't really agree with you on that one...
    You *can* be aggressive with it at 3.3 and down and do quite well if you know what you're doing.
    It can be quite a intense experience though.
    I actually prefer it vs the Whirblewind.
    (I'm one of those people who prefer the Ostwind over the Whirblewind and just in general like having fewer but bigger caliber guns on my AAs)
    Regarding your pro vs con thing...
    Not sure if I'd go *quite* as far as calling the mobility and accuracy *poor* pr say, they're both ok and nothing I find getting in my way.
    For me it feels way, way, way better then the previous AA, but meh, I think it's a bit of a preference thing...
    38:03
    I got a lot of use out of it due to the jumboes being 5.0 back in the day (meaning that you could face them at 4.0), and I value mobility over armor most of the time.
    The StuG III F turns on a dime when you get it up to speed so it's quite fun to just yolo it on city maps, driving full speed into the front line, rounding a corner at full tilt, killing two or three enemies before they're even able to lower their gun enough to hit you, using their team mates as cover etc just being a general pain in the butt.
    They usually expect a panzer 4 F2 at this br anyway so they're prepared to take out that super dangerous panzer 4 gunner.
    I prefer it by far over both the 42 and the G personally.
    But I'm somewhat biased due to quite strongly favoring the 3.3-3.7 br lineups over 4.0 ones due to the match ups...
    40:24
    "No hit to mobility"...
    I guess we have different sensitivity to tank weight...
    For me tanks like the Panzer 3 M and StuG III G are night and day compared to the Panzer 3 L and StuG III F with the lighter variants generally being preferable, especially when facing higher br tanks...
    Likewise I prefer the Panzer 4 F2 over the Panzer 4 G, J and H even at those brs...
    (Yes, I *do* notice the higher weight of the G but I don't notice any advantage over the improved armor)
    The thing I like about the StuG III G isn't so much the armor but it's higher pen, I kind of wish I could get that gun in a StuG III F variant, or possibly some hybrid approach similar to the Panzer 3 L vs the J1 and M.)
    That said, the StuG III Gs armor is really nice when facing lower br enemies, there the trade off in weight is arguably worth it.
    I just find the StuG III F more versatile.
    End of video:
    Hum, regarding the Panzer 2 H, it got tracks instead of wheels and it's smaller, both of those can be a advantage in rough terrain with lots of rocks to cover behind.
    As for the planes...
    I bring a lot more then just 5 crew slots (used golden eagles from the wages you get as login gift on crew spots) so I bring 3 planes not just 1 in tank rb as Germany.
    But if I where to choose at that br I'd pick the Bf 109 E4 myself.
    The E4 got better ammo vs planes then the E3 and it can bring bombs without losing any firepower unlike the F variants while also being better at recovering from a steep dive then the F variant when using the flaps, they also allow it to fly slower for more accurate bomb drops, and it tends to surprise enemy planes in a 1 v 1 due to the effectiveness of its flaps.
    In a 2 v 2 you'd be better off with the F variants, but in a 1 v 1 the E actually does quite well in ground battles, ambushing enemy planes and then dropping bombs on enemy tanks.
    I can dog fight effectively with it even without dropping my bomb and usually do keep it in most engagement till the fight is over.
    My other two planes depends on the br, but usually it's the two JU 88s with the heavy fighter variant being replaced by the 110 when fighting at a high enough br for the G variant of the 110
    It's a good video, even though I disagree with a lot of what you said. ;-)
    As for the whole HEAT thing, that's just a preference thing I thing, but I think of them as a long range weapon...
    But meh...

IMHO one of the best T2 tanks in the game. Also, in the way of data, a very respectable 3.9 K/D ratio for this one...not MEH at all IMHO. 8)
