? | '''PzKpfw-V-IV''' is the tier 6 medium premium tank for German. It based on a [[PzKpfw V Panther]] hull with stock turret from [[PzKpfw IV]] and many player think it more like a buffed [[PzKpfw III/IV]]. It has great mobility, decent acceleration and is well armored for its tier. Its weakness however, is that it has no gun depression whatsoever so in hilly terrain its on a big disadvantage since even a small bump can make a big difference in its ability to hit the target or not and the gun is consider sub-par for its tier. Its best to find flat ground to able use its gun without any hitch and always flank the enemy for its gun to penetrate the enemy armor or resort to High Explosive (HE) shell. | | + | The '''PzKpfw-V-IV''' is the tier 6 medium premium tank for Germany.

At the same time, a first order for 1,000 tanks was placed, with the first tank expected in early 1943. In late 1942, a small pre-production series of 20 tanks was ordered. This was the Null-Serie, or Zero Series. Those 20 tanks were designated Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausfuehrung A and were technically different from later Ausf A production models. All were lightly armored with 60mm frontal armor and armed with the early version of the 75mm KwK 42 L/70 gun. This gun had a single-chamber muzzle brake from the 75mm KwK 40 L/43 gun and was mounted in a turret that featured a drum cupola that bulged the turret on the left side. |

It has great mobility, decent acceleration and is well armored for its tier. Its weakness, however, is that it has no gun depression whatsoever, so in hilly terrain it is at a large disadvantage because even a small bump can make a big difference in its ability to hit the target or not. As a result, it is best to fight on flat ground.
