Pz.Kpfw. V/IV
The PzKpfw V-IV is a German tier 6 premium medium tank that is identical in all ways to the PzKpfw V-IV Alpha but for the Greek Alpha symbol. It was available as part of the game's Medium Pre-Order Package and it was also briefly available from the Gift Shop before being withdrawn. It's based on a PzKpfw V Panther hull with stock turret from the PzKpfw IV. Many players think it's similar to 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 very little gun depression, so in hilly terrain it's 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's best to fight on flat ground. Additionally, the gun is consider sub-par for its tier, so it's recommended to always flank and target the enemy's rear and side, or to resort to HE shells.
