The Pz.Kpfw. IV Schmalturm is a German tier 6 premium medium tank.
In November 1944, the Krupp company presented several avant-projects aimed at upgrading the armament of tanks and tank destroyers in service. Among them there was a project for mounting the Panther's Schmalturm turret on the Pz IV Ausf. J. The project was not considered as it would overload the suspension and production of the Pz IV was being phased out.
Well known for its "Vaderturm", and ingame as the "TIE fighter" for its side skirts (which it is important to note, do NOT have a hitbox, but they will give you extra protection against explosions), if you had played the Panzer 4 prior patch 8.0 you know what to expect, an excellent sniper tank with decent mobility and excellent turret armor, the Panzer 4 Schmalturm excels at the role of supporting an assault from far distances and even more with the enhanced reload time, you can keep enemies occupied while your team moves forward and still keep up the pace of the battle.
While the penetration is still superb, the alpha damage is still lacking for its tier, so experienced tankers will try to shorten the distance gap to get to you, as fighting close range is the bane of this tank with overall weak hull armor and slow turret rotation speed against you. You should seek at all times only to expose your strong turret to defeat your enemies, make no mistake, the L/70 75mm gun is still a serious threat against any opponent, with its excellent accuracy and penetration.

Performance
This tank can easily sit back into a relaxed position with camouflage and binoculars modules and make short work of targets from afar, or if you are more assault-oriented, you can keep up your heavy tank's pace and support them from behind the lines, and only under dire circumstances you should consider going into frontal assault if you can outlast your enemy, still one-on-one, the Pz 4 S. can outmatch most tier 6 and below tanks due its extremely good penetration, mind that, while you can certainly dish out the damage, the PZ 4 S. cannot receive much punishment, and even the new side skirts will not protect you from most sources of damage.
