G32 PzV PzIV ausf Alfa/Sidebar
The PzKpfw V-IV Alpha is a German tier 6 premium medium tank that was a gift tank to moderators, developers and other contributors, instead of a German Wehrmacht logo. It is based on a PzKpfw V Panther hull with stock turret from the PzKpfw IV. Many players think its 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 no gun depression, so in hilly terrain it is 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. Additionally, the gun is consider sub-par for its tier, so it is recommended to always flank and target the enemy's rear and side, or to resort to HE shells.
