Advantages of German tanks?

[coll912]

I've been playing with German tanks / tank destroyers despite their terrible armor, and despite what all of the message boards are saying, are there any advantages for German tanks in the higher tiers above their Allies counterparts?

[captain gimmick]

Great armor, Great guns, later on great mobility. They take a while to get going tho, only getting good at 3.7.

Good guns mainly usually you can out-range most everyone else if your a good shot. Also with many of the tanks being so square you can really control the angle of your armor for what its worth. That said yeah basicaly every german tank is set up almost the same internaly just different sizes so most have the same weakspots, learn where to shoot one and you know where to shoot most of them.

Well the german tanks rain supremacy on tier 5.7 till 7.0.
Where they have tiger e\tiger h1\ tiger 2...
Great tanks when it comes to long range encounters and gods in sieging....
Pushing a well positioned tiger is almost impossible to win.

I've got to the Tiger 2 P as my highest and I've moved to 6.7 British it's go that bad
9 times out of 10 you dont get a long range map so you cant use the guns as well.
Having a blast with the Brits though idk whats happened recently xD
But the main advantage is the guns absolutely the 88 is probably one of the best guns in the game

[Something completely different]

There is no tank that has strong armor under BR 2.0 so Germany isn't alone there. Perhaps even up to 3.0 where some heavier tanks start to appear.

88mm, turns everything into a metal coffin. Your only weakness is all those fighter planes that love to ram you with no penalty. and trust me you will only die to them.

I have played over 500 battles with the 88 and it one shots everything, and what it doesnt kill it leaves disabled for the next shot. And what sort of battles are you in to bring an 88 to a 6.3br match? I can pen every t34 in its br range. I suggest you don't judge me and pull ♥♥♥♥ out of your ass. I am stating facts and it's your fault you que it an entire 1.0 br above its br.

straight through the front, there is also a weak spot right around the gun barrel. I'm not sure which t34 you are talking about but i can destroy every t34 at and under my br and can still easily kill any t34 above me.

I mean USA T34 not Russian T-34 i know the weack spot in the gun barrel but is not always visible, the tank can be cover or angled and at last you have just 1 perfect shoot , he just need a random shoot so i don't think is so easy

The US t34 is a 6.7BR. Your argument is invalid and you're a complete idiot if you bring a 88 into a 6.7 match and expect to argue with me.
