? | |The Panzer Selbstfahrlafette IVc, the "Toaster," or "Flak Bus," is a unique tank destroyer, as it receives two 88 mm guns, giving it formidable firepower for a tier 5 tank destroyer. It is also exceptionally mobile, with a top speed and traverse speed rivaling that of the [[Tank:StuG III Ausf. G|StuG III G]]. However, it has absolutely no armor and is a massive target, which means that it performs its best supporting allies from a sniping position, far away from the action of the battle. Moving in too close will get this machine destroyed in very short order. | | + | |

? | |InTheGame_performance= It should be noted, that the Flakbus does have some inherent characteristics that give it a very unique set of ways it can be exploited. The very high gun elevation, for example, allows it to be on the forward side of a hill (rather than behind it, like hull-down tanks play) and still be able to engage even targets on a higher hill in front of it. The effect of the downward slope gives the Flaktoaster the gun depression it normally lacks, but does make it very exposed if there are no bushes to hide behind. | | + | |

? | It should also be noticed that while the top 88mm has very poor traverse arc, the short 8.8cm does not - it actually has very good traverse arc. Because most of the penetration difference is unneeded outside of tier 7 matches, the short 8,8cm is actually the recommended gun for the Selbstfahrlafette IVc. | | + | |
