Now USA has Sherman 105 + M8 Scott they can have fun with HE/Heat shelling infantry while Germany only has Pz3N and that’s about it. Soviets have their mini Katyusha that is useless so they should get actual BM-13N. All tanks, planes and at gunners can delete those two Axis vehicles with ease since they have now M1 Bazooka. KV-1 shouldn’t be sitting there at BR3 without it’s greatest rival Dicker Max that is one tier above for no reason.

Difference is Sherman 105 and M8 have poor AT ability. The Dicker Max would obliterate any tank below BR3 and can even deal with tanks at BR4 and 5 something the tanks you mentioned can not do. Of course it still kinda sucks because even regular infantry can kill your crew due to open top.
They are also juicy targets to strafe. Should be BR 3

Dicker has better at capability but thats about it. 105mm sherman has mg, rotating turret and better protection. It would be totally fair to put it in br 3

AT capability for Tanks is very important. What you are suggesting is adding a tank to BR 3 that would dominate any other tank at BR 3 and can even deal with tanks at BR 4 and 5. There are not tanks at BR3 or below that can do that. the Wolverine with its 76mm is BR 4 despite being open top and having average HE. The dicker would be better than that in nearly every way apart from the turret. Which doesn’t make a big difference if you sit in grey zone and use that gun to kill tanks a bombard the cap.
From what i can find it has around 150 mm of penetration and you want that at BR 3? It sucks that open top tanks are crap in the predominantly infantry focussed game but making it so it can dominate tanks and infantry below BR 3 is just asking too much. It outperforms the Sherman 76 W which used to be the “best” Allied tank. From what i’ve seen there are no BR 3 tanks that can deal with BR 5 tanks, unless they lowered the Dicker Max. With the exception of the lightly armoured ones like the Sherman.
Plus the Germans already have some of the best tanks in the game already, the 88mm and thickest armour in the game out match pretty much every other faction and the PZ 4s on paper are better than the Shermans. Yet you still want to add the dicker to BR 3. If you want a BR 3 HE spammer the PZ 4 with short 75 would be better, maybe move or add one at BR 3 with slightly thicker armour and better HE. It would have faster RoF then the 105mm but worse HE radius and better armour.
You can literally destroy basically any tanks of opposite factions with Pz IV F2/G/J that are on BR3. Frontally.
Name a single one which you can’t. And Pz IV is way more versatile than dicker max.

Kv 1 exists in br 3 and nobody complains

i mean they “used” to complain but now seem like it all fine
cause it is pointless. BR3 tanks are a joke. they are either OP or UP depending on match tier they are put in. we need another MM queue for BR to actually matter for tanks.

KV 1 has 75mm gun like most other BR 3 tanks. Also its big and slow so easy aerial targets. Plus it was a older tank so fitted historically with other BR 3 tanks. German Tanks are superior to most other factions, most other factions do not have a BR 3 tank capable of dealing with BR 4 and 5 tanks.
The OP was to add the dicker max as the BR 3 HE spammer what im saying is that it would be much more than just a HE spammer unlike other factions.
And Dicker Max isn’t?

no but the KV doesn’t have 105 mm gun does it? i hate when people pick one part of the comment and completely ignore the rest of it. Read the rest of the comment before replying lol.

Yeah, but dicker max doesn’t have armor, MG, turret… 
You are kinda overestimating its gun ngl.
Btw. Note that dicker max was facing only BR 1-3 tanks before merge. He literally couldn’t met BR4+ tanks. Now it’s literally the opposite.
Kinda drastic change in balance approach. I wonder why it was okay back then and now it isn’t.

so what br was the T34 cause im pretty sure when i was using Dicker that thing can easily kill me (i will check later)
t34 (both 75mm variants) are BR3

The whole game has a balance issue atm it’s not just Germany. What im saying is Germany is actually quite strong compared to other factions when talking about their tanks so making them stronger will not help the balance.
The potential the Dicker has is greater then most if not all BR 3 tanks since if uncontested it will dominate infantry and tanks alike, there are no other HE spammers in the game that can do that at BR 3 so adding one will only make the balance worse.
They need to balance for sure but i think the German tanks should not be a priority. Atm all open top tanks for every faction is best to skip since they are easily sniped. But i don’t think it would be fair for a dicker max to be facing stuarts and t60s. just like how i dont think the Wolverine should be BR 3 because the 76mm can deal with BR 4 and 5 if your lucky, thats how the game is currently balanced. The fact Germany has the PZ 4s with long 75mm that can punch above their weight doesn’t justify adding even more tanks that can do that to the same faction.
i mean Dicker max is really rare even before merge i have literally saw no one using it other than me
beside it got like 20 shell and current game HE mechanic is pretty wonky
