The 75mm cannon is also quite effective against infantry on its own, even better than the more expensive Panther tank. The same applies for heavy tanks like the Churchill variants, Pershing and IS2. Try flanking other tanks to maximize the potential to penetrate. It may penetrate the frontal armour of these vehicles occasionally, but dont rely on it. The gun will perform a little worse against more heavily armoured tanks like the T-34, T-34/85, M4 Sherman, Cromwell and Firefly as they either have thicker or sloped armor. This gun is a versatile and fantastic mid game gun, easily demolishing the thin armour of half-tracks, armored cars and even the slightly thicker armour of Light tanks such as the T-70 and Stuart. The Panzer IV we see in game is armed with the long barreled, 75mm KwK40 L48 at gun. One multiplayer tactic is to flood the enemy with a spam of Panzer IV medium tanks, as they are quite powerful, versatile, and potentially devastating in numbers. More expensive than most allied equivalents, the Panzer IV is usually somewhat superior to them, and more importantly, has a lower tier requirement and is therefore more likely to be fielded before the enemy rolls out their own medium tanks. Overall, the Panzer IV has a near-perfect mix of speed, armor, and firepower compared to most other tanks. The Panzer IV can be upgraded with a MG42 turret gunner, which can kill infantry its cannon turret is not facing. Panzer IVs work well in conjunction with the Stug III the Stug III has longer range to support those tanks, while the Panzers go to hold back or outflank enemy armor. But however was still used as a backbone of German panzer groups, even in the later stages of the war. With soviet 85mm guns penetrating its armour easily. The Panzer four proved to be a very successful tank during the war, but was out-performed by later soviet vehicle's. At vet 2, this is changed the H variant with the addition of armored skirts. ( Note the only real differences in the later models was external-spaced armour fitted to the sides of the tank.) The unvetted Panzer 4 is the G variant. The version we see in the game changes with Veterancy. With many variants being produced throughout. The Panzerkampfwagen IV was the most produced tank made by Germany during the second world war.
