PZIV has additional Armour on the sides and turret, Sides and front of a Tiger are Very flat, Front of a churchhill is angled while the sides take 3 shots to kill with a Faust, same as Tiger (If I hit the flat, sides directly.)
On the new map I had someone try and circle strafe my tiger with the 37mm upgraded gun, I held my gun on the left front corner of my tank and turned the tank with him. He did 20 damage to me after I managed to get 5 shots off and kill him. (It took 3. 2nd disabled, remember others have 10% Max Health repair too but I didnt use mine.)
APCR 2 shots a upgraded box tank to 99dmg To the front from a tiger.
The Greyhound thrives on getting around behind tanks. But headon always loses to Tigers.and the Tiger was just a fear factor and most allies couldnt tell the DIf between a PZIV with the 76 and a Tiger (Also the tiger has the same armour thickness as a Sherman 😉 )
The only thing I will agree on, is that the Germans need a Armored Car like the PUMA to counter the Greyhound.
Maybe because of the tiger's 88mm, but in almost all war stories states that tiger's shot pierce through sherman armor like butter. I know churchil has a better angled armor design, but I shot a churchil from the side perpendicularly with apcr and only deal 25dmg, which felt like nothing as tiger is classified to be the stronger tank by how it carries less ammo like the churchill gun carrier. Churchill has the same ammo count as the Pz IV so they should be on the same level, also faster reload speed and turret turn rate. :/
- If you look up some Wot- Chieftan where he debunks most accounts of "Tigers" there was only less than a handful of Tiger battles on the Western Front and The'Fear' was that of the PZIV with the rifle gun which was Prevalent that could also Cut through Sherman armor like butter just like most Tanks of the time. Remember, the Sherman wasn't built for tank battles, It was built for Supporting Inf and Tank Destroyers (M10/M18) we're to be used for tank vs tank.
The Tiger with the HEAT-T round is much more dangerous than the APCR. Shooting the turret of a Churchhill once Disables tf out of the tank in all ways.
Only thing good about the GC is the Passenger MG. It needs the buff.
