PZ III E turret rotation speed is laughable

[Thirium 310]

I bought panzer B, that tank is good, and then I bought Panzer E, (next step in the tier) but his turret rotation speed is extreme slow even with the module upgrade.... This is ridiculous slow.

I see you haven't played the M10 or achilles, complain about turret rotation when you do.

Its almost like a hand-cranked turret is slower for some reason....

Think its the Js onwards that were motorized. cant remember which did and didnt.
You will see the same in some of the panzer 4s.

Upgrade your gunners "targeting" skill, it'll turn a bit faster but the E only has manual rotation so it's gonna be slow. Once you get to the Panzer III J1 and beyond they have powered turrets.

Stock 3E is 3.3 degrees a sec, with full mods and gunner probably some 5 or 6 degrees. M10 with mod and expert crew is 3.1 degrees a sec.

Yeah, it is really slow. German tanks are normally good, but this one has a very weak turret

It's a great tank though, the long 75 at 3.7 and kinda trolly armour (with the armour mod) makes it a good mid-ranger. It also has decent speed and good traverse so the turret rotation ain't that bad of a disadvantage

These are long range fighters and quick turrets are not needed. If you choose to use them at closer quarters than you better practice or be skilled at turning quickly in conjunction with the turret.

Yes, a severe design flaw in several of the T1 german tanks is the lack of a mechanized turret drive.

I strongly recommend paying close attention to turret rotation speed before purchasing a new tank.

Pz.IVs are way better.
