It’s borderline stupid how many of them I see. It’s got a quick reload, good penetration and it’s armor is invonureable to allied tank guns, especially the fairly common 2-pounder.

Okay, you haven’t even suggested how you think the tank should be gimped, where’s the suggestion?

it gets oneshot both by the crusader & t28e. t50 deals with it easily too with a good tanker.
not being able to deal with an avg armored tank is just fail by the allies players.

Have you tried the M1 Bazooka? Or the M8 Scott?

… by some allies players.
That said, I think they should reduce the number of HEAT and HE in IIIn (and some other tanks).
The fact that many of us could run at least two in our lineup if we wanted to is sort of cancerous too.

Don’t know which game you’re playing but even a slight angle prevents the crusader from penetrating the armor in a frontal engagement, exept for the turret, which is very small and very wonky. Not to mention: Armor Piercing ammo is shit.

From my expiriance the M8 cannot stabilise it’s own gun in a reasonable timeframe, which is very unfortunate. It is also an open top vehicle, which comes with obvious downsides.

It is a bit bouncy, but that just means you gotta spot them before they spot you. You know, like a real tank. Besides, that 75mm HEAT shell will shred a German tank. Can even take care of Panther’s if given the right circumstance (which I’ve seen happen)
The M8 is really slept on man. Sucker’s a blast to use both for the better than average HE and solid HEAT shells

Hell, it’s surprisingly vulnerable to a PTRS-41. Apparently the Schurzen don’t actually do anything.
It is a very good infantry support tank (possibly the best), and the HEAT makes it quite capable against tanks of it’s BR. It is, however; borderline helpless against a T-34 or M4A2.
Also; I swear (though I couldn’t prove it) that non-penetrating hits that impact squarely over crew or ammo racks can cause lethal damage. Aim is important.
I once tore up an enemy team with an M8 in Hurtgen. Gotta think of it as mobile artillery; not a tank.
I rather like the T50. I like cannons with quick reload.

I actually could run THREE PzIII N in the same lineup if I cared to, not just two. No wonder it is so spammed. I didn’t even bother looking to see if there’s a fourth…

Suicide infantry joke +1
Only fools will be slaughtered by tanks for a long time
From my personal experience
The effect of short 75 against KV1 is worse than that of long 50 and special ammunition is scarce
And his armor is equivalent to non-existence for the US level 2 tanks and 45MM.
I can’t think of many reasons to die at the hands of N3 except for idiots who are stupid enough to constantly launch suicide dashes from the front.
That’s because you’re busy suicide spamming planes.
Panzer III N is very effective against infantry. Which is why you’ve never noticed it.
crusader does pen, but it got shitty AP.
T28E does oneshot, but it can only pen turret and often got snailed.
PZ III N is more like a BR2.5 tank.

Panzer III N is a late war tank - as such it should move to BR3 but get the better HEAT C rounds with 100mm pen instead of 80mm pen.
I want to see more Panzer IV with heat in BR2 instead.

T28E can sometimes be scary to fight against because its irregular armor profile eats quite alot of shots, but Crusader? Panzer III J is much supperior and that one is a BR1 tank.

I can use Panzerfaust, TNT and anti-tank grenade launcher
As long as the tanks are within 100 meters of the edge of the gray zone, I can destroy them with normal infantry.
Only for longer distances than this would I consider using guerrillas and airplanes
Or maybe they were unlucky enough to be discovered while I was on a plane.
Maybe I give up on tanks
It would also be nice to watch the suicide infantry idiots in your team die and then laugh at those idiots
After taunting, continue walking on the road where no tanks will attack me and build a respawn point on the side.
And then continued to mock the suicide infantry idiots in the team as having no brains.
So can you tell us which map you fell victim to N3 on?
Please post the map and team distribution at that time
So you can prove that those things are terrible
Rather than being killed by insecticides aimed at idiots
Suicide planes are very effective and practical
Because the user will not stay in the sky for a long time watching idiots on the ground waiting to die.
Unless the idiots on the ground are really hopelessly stupid
Otherwise, most suicide plane users tend to use ground troops several times to support friendly forces.
Only a moron with no intelligence and no ability to protect himself with terrain would cry this out as spam.
Like most tanks, flank it with anything and 1 shot it from the side. The lower front armor is well known for resilience like the T50’s slope. This is only an issue for novice tankers but easily dealt with by standard “blind side flank” strategy that takes out all tanks
All of those methods mentioned are BR3, which is annoying when seeing the tank at BR 1.
Yeah, sure, we must nerf the Pz III N. It has some of the best armor in the game. For example, when I play, my tank gets penetrated by practically all Soviet 45 mm and AT cannons. The first shot usually kills half of the crew, and then when you try to shoot back, the rest of the crew dies because the 45 mm cannon reloads so quickly.
Sometimes you even get one-shotted.
When fighting Americans, you can be destroyed by the Stuart, the M3 Lee, bazookas, or even planes.
Against Soviets, you’re vulnerable to all 45 mm cannons, every infantry anti-tank weapon, and more.
It’s not like the Allies don’t have access to bazookas, planes with good bombs, and tanks capable of penetrating the Pz III N. But when the Pz III N meets a KV-1, Sherman, or even a T-34, it’s a different story. In most cases, if you don’t shoot first and get lucky, you won’t win a duel against a T-34 or Sherman. As for the KV-1, you can forget about it—that thing has the most broken armor in the game. It’s harder to destroy than the Tiger II!
Look at the armor of tanks at BR 2.
The US tanks have the same or better armor.
The Soviet tanks have better armor because it’s angled.
I won’t even talk about premium tanks like the Matilda or Valentine.
