Performance

The Pz.Sfl.IVc is another in the line of the weak armoured, but strong firepower vehicles. It follows the same rules that the preceding tanks in the line follow, and that is to keep far away from the front, while supporting with your accurate and powerful guns. With it's great mobility, it can move to better positions in a pinch.

You should look for a spot on the map where your guns can be put to the best use, and ideally wipe out as many enemy tanks as possible. If the battle goes poorly, the incredibly weak armour will not allow you to brawl with other tanks without taking damage, and thus it can be hard to "carry" the battle by yourself.

To stress the point, you have essentially no armour. In this tier range many vehicles will be using howitzers loaded with High Explosive ammunition, and will be able to easily destroy you in one shot. Keep away from enemies as much as possible, the armour will be penetrated on every enemy shot that connects, and your armour simply will not bounce anything. Try to be 15m behind a bush when firing at an enemy within 445m, this will greatly help to mitigate return fire.

A unique aspect of the Pz.Sfl.IVc is the insane gun elevation it has, due to it's intended anti-air capabilities. The vehicle can be on a steep hill and have enough elevation to shoot at targets that are essentially behind it on another hill or elevated position. While unique, this ability will rarely ever be used, but it is worth keeping mind if you find yourself in a situation where you might need it.
