Is Panzer III N too good?

well yeah, its kinda like many other legacy or event vehicles, they are a bit crazy when you think about it

T34 STZ - frontal armor almost as strong as Panther
Prem Panzer IV J - has extra track armor at the turret front, the only weakness of a Panzer IV
recent event SDKFZ 234/3 - puma mobility and 7.5 HEAT
Panzer III M - crazy armor for BR2 vehicle
BT 7 A - crazy good gun for its BR

In WT it has the same battle rating as the Panzer IV F2, while its gun will struggle on that BR, its armour is good.
Though in Enlisted only 50mm gun greatly limits its HE spam capabilities.

Honestly it’s in a bit of a weird spot. It’s very good against players who don’t know what they’re doing, but is pretty easy to counter. Also it’s AT ability is kind of meh. You can kill everything decently easily but it does rely on the other guy being a bit dumb.

Also well… in Warthunder you can lower your ammo you bring, which makes Panzer IV F2 much much better at surviving hits + ammo loadouts in general makes the game loop more interesting.

Not including vehicles I have about half if not more of the Axis tree grinded. I played them a little in Moscow as well as the Sovies as Moscow was my second favorite campaign

That’s nice, I thought you were adamant into not playing that faction. Good old Moscow campaign was great, when top unlocks each side were pz4 and t28…

I think the sideskirts version is a bit too strong for BR 2. If the sides were actually pennable by AT rifles it wouldn’t be that bad.

Hm but AT rifles are BR 1 right? They kinda suck for every nation

They do. But Pz III N is a BR 2 tank so you’ll fight BR 1 + 2 equipment most of the time.

If this was a rare tank it would be OK, but as you basically run into them in almost any match, the pratical invulnerability to the basic bitch AT weapons is extra lame.

No it’s Japan I won’t play for the literal reason of ā€œjust causeā€
I play the other three. I’ve just spent most of my time with the Allies
Also is it just me or is BR III Germany really weak with its offerings? I really don’t care much for the Gewher and the best SMG is the ZK? Really? Only thing going for it is the MG 34 and the Pz IV and Bf 110

Yes. It’s pretty much summing br3. Still a fun br to play, but it’s underwhelming.

Where axis truly shine is br4-5 when they start getting panthers, real killer fighter planes (but really meh cas strafing to the right), Godly lmgs and finally on par semis, as well as very good ARs.

See br3 axis as a stop gap. I still like it… but I can bring cheesy gold order and event weaponry to balance it a lil.

Mp507 or VG1-5 as its called in tha game is a very decent and enjoyable gun.
SMGs are mid, but they get the job done. MG34 is great for its BR.
No fighter aircraft with bombs sucks, plus Panzer IV has paper armour for its BR but otherwise its balanced enough to compete with BR3 of other factions.

Unless you meant that you miss famous weapons and vehicles, in that case BR3 Axis cant offer much other than long barrel Panzer IVs and a StuG.

Yeah seems like I’m gonna stick to II and V

Completely forgot about the VG to be honest. Might look into it

DPS isnt good, it shoots quite slowly, however its a trooper weapon and that with a 30 round quick reload magazine. Its pretty much a better M1 Carbine.

Its a pretty unique weapon at BR3, allowing you to wipe squads quickly with a trooper ( which is very uncommon for a BR3 gun) but mostly it shines because G41 is so terrible.

BR 3 might be a little underwhelming tech tree stock standard, But if you are fortunate enough to have all the event/Battlepass and premiums, its quite excellent. Most of the holes are plugged.

  • Tz 45
  • Gewer 41 Sniper
  • Stummel
  • MP 41 R, Suomi (MP-35/1 is tech tree but highly underated, it hits hard)
  • Mg 13 with Drum magazine (bit of a monster really)
  • Browning Wz

Nah. The main success of any tank is the other team failing to use their AT or planes properly (or at all), especially one as easy to frag as the Panzer IIIN

There are alot of tanks that make a huge mess if not dealt with on all sides, and some are much harder to deal with

That being said, Objectives need to be much larger to dumb down the power of HE spam (this is not just tanks, but all HE). The game forces you to jump on a small area, often right in front of tanks, planes and artillery because they cap so fast you have no time
