Can Panzer IV's 10,5 cm KwK 42 L/28 gun really penetrate KV-1 and some other heavy tanks?
I look at its penetration rate and it's even worst than 7,5 cm KwK 40 L/48, unless I'm going to use premium HEAT bullet. (based on http://wiki.worldoftanks.com/PzKpfw_IV) Or do people normally use HEAT bullet?

Word to the wise: You cannot circle-of-death a StuG in a Pz38nA. (Once again, today I was able to play both sides of that scenario.)
I did manage to get two kills (on heavies!) with the 38nA on El Halluf when our northern pass defense collapsed and they drove right past me. |

The thing is though, experience tells me that the Panzer IV isn't really built for that kind of close-quarter brawling, compared to its contemporaries the Sherman or the Crusader.

Moreover, I usually get killed by KV-1 in the close range in the late game where my team was losing. (Not sure I was just bad luck or not because KV-1 often appear near me, and I can't escape from it.) I don't mind if I can at least do some damage to it before I die. Other than KV, other tank I want to is Churchill. The tech line I'm playing (Panzer 35t, 38t, na) make me hate all heavy tank so much I'm also considering to buy SPG to use. Firing a shell on Heavy tank head across a map seems fun.

The only way to defeat KV without using heavy tank is by flaking.
and you need 2 tank to do it. thought I kinda easily kill KV with my ELC thanks to crazy speed and "better than derpgun". even then i need it to get distracted first and I usually hit it on the back

Ahh.. No need for a bragshot, but man, just had a lovely game with my Hummel. #3 on my team's exp list, 12 shots fired with 7 direct hits .. but with those 7 hits (all pens) and the 2 shots that did HE shell damage .. I did over 2.8k damage! More than anyone else on the team! Goes to show why scouts in high level games are so important.. High tier TD's and Arty's can 1/2 shot most tanks ..

I did once take on two KV-1S tanks with a T-25..... and won. It was on Steppes, and while the rest of the team went east and west I went down the middle path by myself, uon which I ran into the two KV-1S tanks. How did I win?
I basically used my accurate and rapid-firing gun to constantly punch holes through their hull as I kept my distance. I also used my instincts of when the two were going to fire and basically dodged their shots like something from the Matrix through slight movements (and also managed to bounce several shells). After managing to reduce their HP to 1/4, I basically blitzed past them and fired directly into their engines, setting them on fire for a trip to hell. Unfortuantely, I got the only kills of my team, which got annhiliated and let our base be captured. Considering using my experience with the T-25 to get an Ace badge for the Pz III/IV and Pz IV (after I free-exp to the latter tank). German Heavy Tank: Thinking of stopping at the Königstiger, unless someone can convince me that the E-75 is worth it. |

Skyrocketing costs per tier make me think that it might take a while before I consider shooting higher than Tier VII. If I do get to Tier VIII, it'll because I accidentally stumbled towards it by playing my Tiger too long. ^^;
Oh, and more Crusader training for me later. While I seem to have gotten my most Heavy tank-kills on a non-heavy ever, my win loss ratio on it is atrocious.

And if I have to just tell... a UFP that's impervious to all but the Tier X guns, and an LFP that's actually tough enough to withstand just as much when angled. With the top engine, it's even more nimble than the KT. The E-75 is one of the few, if not the only, German heavy tank that can actually hold its own in a brawl, as opposed to the last resort of the Tiger and Panther series caught with their pants down. This is a tank even Tier 10s fear. |

I've actually been leveling my arty as well as a Leopard for the King Leopard and might take a small detour to check out the U.S. autoloaders as well. The Cromwell is also loads of fun..

Concurring with the above observations of the E-75, it's essentially an upgraded KT that has all of the KT's advantages while further reducing its disadvantages. It's a much better tank than the KT in every way and one that holds itself admirably against contemporary Tier IX and X foes, and that's from way back since the 6.6 Test.

This is the only picture I could find of the KV directly from the front ignore the colored blocks, the parts I've put white square around can easily be penned by most tier 4-5 tanks. |
