[Client Values; Actual values in
Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV is a German tier 9 tank destroyer.

Tank destroyer developed in February 1944 on the basis of the PzIV tank. Development was discontinued in favor of a similar vehicle on the basis of the Krupp Waffentrager 12.8 cm PaK 44 of Czech origin. Existed only in blueprints.

The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV is a very similar machine to the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger. It has excellent camouflage, guns, and a turret, while having absolutely no armor. It also has much better acceleration than the Rhm.-Borsig, allowing it to get into position faster. Its two top guns are upgraded versions of the Rhm.-Borsig's guns, with even more penetration and damage, as well as better accuracy. As on the Rhm.-Borsig, the 128 mm gun has excellent penetration and accuracy, as well as good damage, while the 15 cm gun has exceptionally high damage at the cost of penetration, accuracy, and rate of fire.

The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV leads to the Grille 15.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • Very good alpha damage, DPM, penetration, aim time and accuracy with the top 12,8cm gun
  • Great alpha damage with both 15cm guns
  • Has a turret with a 360 degrees arc
  • Good camouflage
  • Painless stock grind, only requires the tracks and top 12,8cm gun


Cons:


  • Open-topped and no armor, very vulnerable to HE penetrations
  • Very poor gun depression on the frontal arc, and very poor gun elevation when the gun faces backwards
  • The 15cm guns lack accuracy and shell velocity, and are unsuited for sniping
  • Extremely weak engine module, often disable from frontal penetrations
  • Different crew layout compared to the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, has a radioman and one more


Performance

The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV can be good training for the tier 10 Grille 15, as this tank has a similar rear-mounted turret (albeit the Grille 15 can only turn the turret 45 degrees to each side). This fact means that both tank destroyers severely lack gun depression. Many players will drive the Waffentrager auf Pz. IV in reverse to allow for minimal exposure and full use of its 5 degrees of workable gun depression. There are two main cannons: 12.8cm Kanone L/61, essentially the Jagdtiger's top gun, or the 15cm Pak 40, which is basically the E 100's 15cm. The 12.8cm has significantly higher shell velocity, penetration and dpm, while the 15cm gains improved damage and shell caliber, useful for overmatching targets. The 12.8 is generally the better option, as it trades relatively little in exchange for its boons, while the 15cm trades a lot for only a few boons. Note that the 128mm uses 352 pen APCR as its premium shells, while the 150mm uses 334 pen HEAT - the 152mm has a higher effecetive penetration at distance with premium, though lower raw pen. Overall, the WT auf Pz. IV is a rather decent Tank Destroyer at its tier, and, unlike most others, has two viable gun options, albeit one still has a large advantage over the other. Above all else, try to not take avoidable shots from the enemy, and it will give a steady output of damage in return. It can be played fairly similar to the Rhm-B. WT, but being larger, slightly more armored and less camouflaged, it must be played carefully.

  • NOTE: The 12.8cm Kanone L/61 has bugged stats for some reason on this page; the actual penetration is 276/352/65, the damage is 560/560/700, the dispersion is 0.33, and the rate of fire is 5.17. Currently, it displays the 12.8cm Kanone 44 L/55's (the 12.8cm from the Borsig) stats.

Historical Info

The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV vehicle was developed between the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944. There were two variants planned, one with a 149mm sFH 18 howitzer and the second with a 128mm AT gun Kanone 81. The design was actually scrapped, because in early 1944, the developers started considering putting the guns on even lighter chassis (in this case modified 38t or even 38d) – and Panzer IV didn’t fit it. Another role was possibly played by the fact that by 1944, Panzer IV was already scheduled out of production. The Waffenträger auf Pz. IV never made it past the drawing boards.
