I mean its a really hard shot to make when you don’t have the jump on a Pz IV but its a genuine question?

I’m interested but I cant get what the actual question is

I detonated that Pz Iv with and HE shell from the side.

As it is, KV2 can kill a tiger with HE if it hits a lower part of the turret, as an example.

So what I think its doing here is punching down through the Engine deck through the fuel tank then through the firewall into the ammo in front of the fuel tanks.

M10 has the same weakness noted fact putting ammo directly in front of the easily penned fuel tanks bad Idea

Sherman, M10 and Pz IV have the same weakness
