German Tanks are weak

[ontai0044]

Why are german tanks so weak everything one shoot me but i cant penetrate the front plate of a t 34? and the tiger and so on are in so hight battle ratings thats unfair

[Rei [Pwner]]

Oh boy.....

I am constantly loosing money with my Tiger 2... this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.
I am soo fed up with this game. I want to play for fun my Tiger 2. I don't want to take care about loosing money.

Screw this game and at this point I really hope this game will die.

The only tank that might struggle with T-34 it's the PzIII, wich you might have to aim at weak points such as the turret cheeks. as for the PzIV F2 and beyond, you have the most performing guns at those BRs, you can pierce them anywhere, even from long ranges, especially with the default shell. and the tiger it's a good tank at that BR, the 88 can easily take down lot's of the tanks it might face, and it's armor it's strong enought to be a proper heavy tank, especially when angled right.

br 6.7 in ANY nation is a pain, not just germany, it is a black hole of death.

Try the german br 5.7 to 6.3 till you get through to a br you like and can play well.

the other problem you have is OP, thinks the tiger is too high for fighting t34s,
lowest is br 5.3, it is funny but OP is not alone, lots seem to think this.

I could bore everyone one with stats and stuff but i won't, I'll just leave you with
how many tiger 1 do you see in a game on a hill in the open fighting sideways.....
....sideways........

this is not the tank at fault, I play a lot of br 4.7 and thank god not a lot know how to use it well.

[256_Swerve]

the tanks are fine. It's not the games fault you lack the skill to play them

To penetrate the T-34 you have to avoid the APCR munitions, they aren't good on sloped armour, use the variants of the APHE for that, and the Tiger is difficult to use, you have to know perfectly wich are the weak points and stronger points of it. I struggled a lot when i was using the Tiger for the first times, especially the Tiger I H1. It's a common thing

this,
APCR might have the best pen, it is not the best pen.

google and watch ammo use for war thunder, I have not got the one I watched years ago but it changed the way I played and increased my kills......not my wins, that is a team thing but def my kills.

tiger 1 needs to angle, when done right, my br 4.7 are useless, dose not happen much thank god, they like to fight sideways.

It is not just the angle, if faced with too many shooting at you, one will have a good shot,
try to limit how many you engage, fighting me and angled well will stop me,
don't forget the rest of my team shooting at you.

1v1 tiger should win against me.....if they have their eyes open.

this is the next point, this is a game, br means everything can kill everything, some things are difficult to kill but can be killed.

you are not the tiger 1 from the history channel, it is used dif in this game than in real life anyway.

If you drive around as though you can't be killed......you will be.
eyes open.
think.

As for ammo, stock is best on tiger 1.
can't kill something, check it out on armour pen analysis, find out how to.

Personally I think The tiger 1 + panther at br 5.3 is the best line up in the game,
wibble for spaa and good CAS.

How do they lose all the time............

(well I know personally once in a plane I will bomb the panther).

I think he meant the usa heavy t-34 tho.

Wich can be penetrated in lower front plate sides with the Tiger 2. Most of the usa tanks and Brits has weak point here. Can be tricky but doable.
My main gripe with german 6.7 is lack of mobility and the constant facing of the allied sports car fan club. They just so much faster on bigger map you don't even have so much chance to make it in to the cap zones. And they have heat. So yeah.

If you get in a 6.7 then it's good. But that only happen 1 out of 10 times if I even...

6.7 is cancer in any nation, don't worry

[Slyke]

Yeah. It's so annoying, they are just too weak. Despite being stronger than any other tanks.

[Pozieres]

I have germany unlocked, it is not OP and it is not UP. Its air tree needs to be filled out at BR6+ but that is about it

[Bubu DE]

The german tanks are rly good....but only on paper.
The problem with german tanks as the Tiger 2 and the Panther F also is the BR and/or the "balance" in this game. In 99 of 100 Battles you have to fight against (american, british and french) tanks that are more modern than this two. They have much better armour, much better ammo and specially the french, better mobility. That makes almost every game with german tanks at that BR a nearly safe autolose.
That is a old problem but as long as enough players pay GE to compensate the lost SL, why should Gaijin change anything?

Right. They are only good on paper because in reality you're the one using them. -_-

[IIBuxy]

this game has a lil bit more to it than simply point and shoot like world of tanks. ammo type matters, armour of enemy and the slope of it, knowledge of such helps a lot, knowing your tanks helps even more.

[rigolgm]

How come no one said German tanks are too weak before.
