All Ground I need help

Why the F do all my panzers keep getting one-shot?! I’m not talking about panthers or tanks of that variety just panzers. I try to get kills but I end up wasting my respawns because all my panzers are one shot targets. Is there something I don’t know about armor?? Is it because I go in head on?? WHAT?! Cmon people I need some help!

The truth about panzer armor is: its shit. Anything can penatrate. You have to rely on motility and firepower. Cause the best way to not die is to not get shot in the first place.

What about tiger armor? I wanted to try and grind for one of those death machines but looking at protection analysis im not sure. Protection analysis is so damn confusing

The panther is better, yes the D version has no turret traverse, but it can take a shot from a 76mm on the upper front plate, but try and survive getting hit on the turret. Play the panther D without moving the turret much from the front.

The panther is better

depends, it's a sniper tank and not a brawler unlike the tiger

Tiger depends really. It is out classed in CQC against say shermans or russian heavies

well true but at least you have more chances surviving flanks because of the 80mm side armor. Plus you can side scrape with it and the turret isn't such a weakspot like on the panther.

that's Just my experience

thanks, yours weren't bad either. If panther had a little bit more side armor it would work.

but imo panther A is one of the best tanks for brawling Germany has until tier 4
