-A  mediocre tank, the Panzer III K suffers quite a lot in comparison to other tier 5 medium tanks. It has quite poor armor, and is even worse than its tier 4 counterpart the Panzer III, at only 50mm at most except for the gun mantlet and the commander's cupola. While the tank has rather nice gun depression at 10 degrees, its gun mantlet is small and only covers a small portion of the turret, meaning most shots fired at a hull-down Panzer III K will penetrate. The tank is blessed with a large amount of health at 790 hit points, so it can absorb a fair amount of shots before going down. It's mobility is also much worse than a standard Panzer III, and mediocre by tier 5 standards. Its above average average ground resistances aren't enough to make up for its weak engine and low top speed, leaving the tank outpaced by most other medium tanks, unless it is equipped with the new turbocharger equipment, even then it will still lag out a bit compared to its peers.

-The tank does have a decent view range, but never attempt to spot enemies if you have no backups or a close escape route, as its mobility is rather lackluster. Sniping in this thing is a very iffy option, a practice in futility at best, due to the tank's horrendous gun dispersion values, which are the among the worst in the tier on paper, and practically '''the''' worst in its tier taking its dispersion penalty on the move into account. The gun also lacks in penetration, making dealing with higher tier opponents - which can include tier 7's due to its lack of preferential matchmaking - difficult without premium ammunition. As such, the Panzer III K is best played as more of a support tank than a contemporary medium like the DS PZInż, the T-34 or the M4, getting into ranges far enough to make sure that you won't get annihilated within 10 seconds, but close enough to make sure that your gun will work semi-reliably. Overall, a tank that you should not get unless you're used to bad gun handlings, and a Christmas gift for a clan member or a friend that you hate the most.
