It’s not like they’re packing unlimited gold and the 85mm cannon. They’re stuck with the stock turret and gun at least. And the ammunition loadouts are preset.

There’s also the fact that each Panzer IV variant in the game represents multiple variants of the vehicle in one tier:

Panzer IV A – Panzer IV A through Panzer IV C

Panzer IV D – Panzer IV D through Panzer IV F2 (the first one to have a longer-barreled 75 mm gun historically)

Panzer IV H – Panzer IV G and Panzer IV H (+105 mm howitzer prototype development)

Well said. I only played two HB yesterday (one with each Nation) and in the first with my Valentine I was in literally as soon as I clicked the battle button. In the second battle with a Stug I had to wait maybe 5 seconds.

Matilda is so overpowered so every window licker wants to play it, thats why you have to wait 5min.

Yep, such Panzer IV Ausf.D were “refurbished” ones, mainly used for training in NSKK. Driver could learn his job in older variants but gunner had to learn with modern gun and that’s why such vehicles were created. I’m not sure if it were combat used, maybe in last days of war when anything could be used in combat, especially in defence of (or next to) training areas.

Use StuG III Ausf.B and you’ll get into the battle immediately. Don’t use Matilda but some lower tier vehicles and you’ll be able to play it.

Matilda is the strongest tank in this battle but it needs support too. Yesterday in team of 9 German vehicles we kicked asses of 5 Matildas so even Matilda is not invincible.

I’ve read some monograph in polish magazine – in fact some of the PZ IV D’s were fitted with 75mm L/43 in later stages of the war IIRC. So Wargaming didn’t made another fantasy version – only rare tank

Another fucked up battle, when you consider that there are 4 KV-1′s… Which can slam shell after shell with rammer/binocs/GLD…

Was added with the last patch, but with the battles returning in cycles you will have more chances to get the other ones.

As for pz4h – that’s what you get with unhistorical modules. Same with pz4d on tobruk – why give it a longer gun for randoms… You could just add lower tier pz4a.

>> make sure you don’t miss your chance of getting a medal for the Tobruk operation (for that, you need to win at least once for each side). Got mine yesterday.

I don’t collect keychains ;) .
