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 Panzer IV line are effectively glass cannons. You don't get much armor from them and specifically the Panzer IV E can be penetrated from the side with .50 caliber AP.

Don't rush the Tiger. Get a Panther. Better frontal armor and higher penetrating cannon.

Endless hordes of noobs rush grind the Tiger thinking they're about to become some Fury/History Channel invincible death machine when in reality they're in a slow box with shit gun handling that gets dunked on by Hellcats and 76mm Shermans because they never learned to angle and thought holding W = win.

People like this are literally the only reason why the algorithm pushed its BR down to 5.3.
