Small task for Tank buffs

Anyone notice all the new tanks in the Practice mode of various campaigns, I see Stugs, King Tigers, Jagdpanther I think, be good if someone can confirm all the tanks in the tank firing range.

Hopefully some will come in game and not just be targets.

The allied tanks look interesting, is there a firefly there? No expert here, I think there a greyhound too!

Soviets seem to have some form of motorized gun carriage! All open except for gunner driver…some AA truck? I can see kv1, 2 maybe IS3, looks like Jagdpanther?

I did try shooting them as you could see if they got destroyed names, but some too powerful against my 2nd rank tanks lol

Yes, they are all there.
Everyone can see for themself why KVs would be a bad idea.

PaK 38 and detpacks kill it quite easily tbh
PaK38 from the front and sides
But that would require german players to rub two braincells together tbh

And what tank would Germans get if USSR gets KV?

5

Just give em 75mm short HEAT and panzer III 50mm pzgr 40/41 and I’d be happy

6

The 50mm armed PzIIIs that could also pen it

The HEAT rounds were issued in small numbers just like HVAP sadly

7

Yeah but it’s a game. It’s just enough that it was there to be added. Just like the kvs

8

Those weren’t present during Battle of Moscow

KV just needs to angle, and you are fucked. Whenever he just needs one shot, real balance.

10

Angling won’t save vs HEAT. If it’s anything like warthunder anyway

11

Panzer IV HEATs is not good against angled KVs. HEAT is not really good against angles in general.

12

Some thoughts on balancing T34 and maybe KV-1

Was expecting some of you regular guys to share thoughts on the subject

HEAT shells, more numbers and better cannons

HEATs are shit. More tanks is not an answer, if there will be no KV, German tanks will just stomp.
Static Guns, that enemy can see you building is not really an answer vs KV, that is mobile bunker. Especialy when for example 88 is huge as barn and enemy would see you building it from another side of map.

The 50mm PzIIIs were around for Barbarossa though. Not the long 50 though. That came a bit further in.

16

They’d only see it if you put it in a dumbass spot.

See I’m confused by this. Because in warthunder any of the 75mm shorts panzer lll and lV are very effective vs all targets and rapid fire. It’s been my preferred kv1 killer at that tier for years. Angling doesn’t seem to stop much, goes straight through upper front plate and the flat part right next to turret machine gun port.

And how do you want to hide something like that? If tank won’t see you, infantry will, and they will make some easy kills when you will be building that.

Build it off on a flank, in a treeline, in some bushes, in a garage.
There’s a multitude of places you could put it. AT guns are pretty hard to see and so would an 88 without a gunshield if they give it the same colouring as AT guns.

From what i played it is uterly unreliable. But depends on version, if they would get 1941 version with 100 of armor, then you wont do much to it with those HEATs. 1940 version can be killed by HEATs, but didn’t in test have been 1941 version?
