It's one advantage in this regard is the excellent ground-resistance, which means that rough terrain makes little difference in the mobility. This makes it nearly impossible to relocate once you have commited to a position. The downside is its low top speed and generally low mobility. As long as you can keep the lower glacis covered and deny your opponents shots at the commander's hatch by moving back and forth this tank is nearly impregnable from the front and, combined with the space armour at the sides excells at sidescraping. Its defining feature is its strong armour, particularly at the front. This tank is relatively simple to play and sets the standard for the tier 9 and 10 tanks that follow. Lower glacis is quite weak (around 180-190 effective when unangled) Huge ammorack can get damaged very often if hit from the sides Mediocre reload times for both guns, bad softgun stats (tricky snapshots and missing without fully aim). Inadequate stock gun makes for painful grind Sides are flat and much weaker than its bigger brothers, Its cupola can still be penetrated by some guns. Slowest tank in its tier and has very large silhouette, juicy target for SPGs Large skirt armor on rear can absorb a LOT of HE, HEAT and HESH shells Very powerful HE shells (nearly 200 higher potential damage than AP shells at 630) can two-shot some poorly armored tier 8 TDs! Huge ammo capacity for stock gun (120 rounds, won't use more than 25) and top gun has fairly respectable ammo capacity as well Top 12.8cm has highest alpha damage of all tier 8 heavies, tied with Obj 252U Insane view range for its tier comparable to tier 10s Tied with O-Ho for second highest HP pool for Tier 8 (1700) as well as weight (120t) Although the top speed is only 20kph, it is very capable of maintaining that speed even on slight inclines due to high engine power great reverse speed compared being almost as high as top speed

Currently, it displays the 12.8cm Kanone 44 L/55's (the 12.8cm from the Borsig) stats.-Monstrously thick armor upper plate is comparable to Maus's upper plate and can resist even Tier 10 guns from the front, and cupola is surprisingly tough.

IV in reverse to allow for minimal exposure and full use of its 5 degrees of workable gun depression. Many players will drive the Waffentrager auf Pz. This fact means that both tank destroyers severely lack gun depression.


IV can be good training for the tier 10 Grille 15, as this tank has a similar rear-mounted turret (albeit the Grille 15 can only turn the turret 45 degrees to each side). Different crew layout compared to the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, has a radioman and one more.Extremely weak engine module, often disable from frontal penetrations.The 15cm guns lack accuracy and shell velocity, and are unsuited for sniping.Very poor gun depression on the frontal arc, and very poor gun elevation when the gun faces backwards.Open-topped and no armor, very vulnerable to HE penetrations.Painless stock grind, only requires the tracks and top 12,8cm gun.Very good alpha damage, DPM, penetration, aim time and accuracy with the top 12,8cm gun.
