I hope they are not perked  cause im tired of being killed in a Panzer :headscratch:

1) There's little chance the new one will be perked.

2) What does you dying in a panzer have to do with perks?

You forgot... the rocket rack is why im 99.99% sure it will be perked

251 has rockets....kicking up ones score on an undefended city was the common use of this otherwise useless hanger queen.

can't imagine this rocket rack should be perked in any way.
maybe someone could give a tutorial on how one should aim these bottle rockets correctly.

T-34 racks up more perks kill for kill, and with the majority of folks camping at short ranges behind things, the HVAP makes it a 1-shot killer. Plus the sloped armor deflects a decent amount of shells (not all, I know).

I'd say it's not a 5k-standoff fire-reload-fire spammer, but it's still competitive.

IMO folks just hate going into the fight. They'd rather camp, and camping is hurt with a slow reload, eh?

Practice, practice, practice you will get better, pick a tank and stay in it, then practice some more. Find someone who knows how to tank and ask them to help, most guys in here will help if asked properly, if your a bish look me up on the weekends, if i am on I will help you.

the thing though is the difference between the tanks and planes... gvs you dont need to stick to the tank that long to get the finer points of it... but also, I'll be willing to help pilots if they need it too. bish also <S>

Why?  There is nothing that dictates that the Panzer IV H is the high water mark for free tanks.

Agreed.  The only reason the T-34/85 is slightly perkworthy (very slightly - base is what, 3??) vs. the IV is due to its speed.  The Sherman 76 will not have that speed advantage.
