The Best German Medium Tank 

I like how potent the gun is at its br, it can kill pretty much anything. God forbid if you get a full downtier

After Millions of attempts and tremendous struggles, Spookston finally makes a video on a German vehicle! Really appreciate it Spookston Thanks a lot.

The G may be a lower BR, but the H tends to play the best in my opinion. The add-on armor and side skirts make it surprisingly hard to kill.

At 10:52, the squeaking noise comes from the long-barreled Panzer IV's tendency to overload it's front end while steering. I've also noticed this exact thing in IL-2 Tank Crew. The Finnish even noted that the Panzer IV Js they got tended to make their brake drums glow hot red in summer on road marches just from this strain alone.

My favourite vehicle in Germany, such a good balance between firepower, armour and mobility. Maybe one of the Chieftains in the future?

id love to see spookston play the Sturer Emil, might not be heavily armored, but it 1-shots almost everything it sees

The F2 variant will always be in a special place for me. Germany's big cats can be great and all that, but Panzer 4s and Stugs are so much more fun to play with.

I honestly know what you mean about the British Sherman II. It does look rounder somehow. I think it's because it has the track skirts that the US didn't use, so it's got two more round bits under the hull. It also has the older style mantlet, so you see more of the round turret under it. He's a very bulbous boy.

Im still confused how they put the Japanese tanks with the relative same capabilities at like 4.3-4.7 while German Panzer IVs are just chilling at entire BR brackets lower.

The Turan III is a pretty fun vehicle, even if it did get put up to 4.0 (which I honestly agree with, having tried it) It’s basically a Panzer IV with a reverse gearbox. Highly recommended.

0:43 "Thankfully he was disabled" - Spookston 2023

I miss the days this was at 3.7-4.0 with the H and the J versions. When they were rank III i had such a blast doing events because It was so fun to play full Panzer IV lineup. It was my favourite tank, i wish It went up again into rank III

the 75mm on germans are awsome

The italian version is a monster. in my experience i always play against germany who have zero clue how to deal with you or just think you're on their team. currently using it to grind through the tech tree

As a German main I am still unsure as to why they aren't 4.0 or 4.3. If played right, they can easily do well at 5.3 in an uptier. Many even bring it along in their 5.3 lineup.

The panzer 4 is relayable as hell, i like it a ton, the only issue is the reverse gear but honestly at that BR whit that gun is awesome, lovely video Spook, love your content and your effort to print these fresh and enjoyable vids!

Awesome to see Spookston do a video on this Panzer. Panzer 4's are one of my favorites they're just solid and fun tanks to play sure they don't have the best armor but with the right positioning it handles great! *I've gotta play these bad boys again soon* *Also Play da Stug tonks*

Hey Spookston. I recommend you play the Alecto or the Tortoise, they're really unique vehicles. I know they're British (ugh , am I right?) but they have really potent guns. The Alecto is fast while the Tortoise is slow. Awesome vid as always!

thank you for the amazing content Sparkplug, can't wait to see the next video!

Good vid as always and for my recommendation you should try the spj fm/43-44 or ikv 103 with heatfs both fun and quirky vehicles

The Panzer 4 is my favorite tank. I have a whole 5 tank line up for them. Also the premium is still tier 3 so you can use it for daily tasks.

Data's voice at 1:05 got me

300k sub QnA when?!? Crazy how fast you have grown, keep up the good work. Some questions for the QnA. How are you doing? Favorite plane? (Military or commercial) Favorite season of the year? And finally, opinion on swedish meatballs? Keep making videos Spookston, I’ve really been enjoying the content recently.

Play the ARL-44 the French are waiting ITS BEEN 50 DAYS

please play the bri'sh black prince, it's a good tank which is surprising for the bri'sh tech tree great vid as usual :)

Spookston, as someone who's currently doing the 3.3 to 3.7 Germany, the Panzer IV has been a mainstay of my lineups. Thanks for the videos, they always entertain when I'm feeling down.

Spookston videos always brighten my day.

I have the Panzer IV J and H in a line up and due to a friend of mine grinding Germany I have played them recently, I agree they are very good. Thanks for the video Spookston!

Day 5 of asking spookston to play the st. Emil with the overkill 128mm at 4.3

Day 43 of asking spookston to play the IS-4M

This and the 3.3 sherman are my favorite tanks in WT. The PZIV because it can pen pretty much everything, and the sherman with its slow speed stabilizer means you can usually pop shots off around a corner seconds before the other guy can even line up a shot, and even then keep moving slowly you can still shoot with perfect accuracy. Also the basic sherman is a terror in a full downtier, especially if you know how to utilize the stabilizer.

I loved this I love the panzer4 so this was a wonderful vid keep it up!

Play pbv301

You should try the R3 T106 FA. The T3 T106 FA is one of the best aggressive flanking vehicles in the game and can go in and out of battle like a beast. Would leave to see someone with your skill play it. It keeps getting it's BR increased. It used to be 7.3 but slowly went up to 8.0 as of recently (sons of Atilla).

My favourite tank! Been hoping for a video like this for a while.

ur videos are just so satisfyingly well edited

Since you like light tanks I think you should play the tortoise

You should play the Carro Armato M Celere Sahariano. (2.7) Its a medium tank prototype created by Italy during World War II to match the speed and firepower of British cruiser tanks seen by Italian forces during the North African campaign, which it does well with a forward/back speed of 61 / 5 km/h. Its armor's not amazing but its decent for the BR. Its gun is pretty nice, a 47 mm 47/40 mod.38 cannon with a reload speed of 5.2 seconds, and the Granata Perforante mod.39 (APBC) one shots most pens it gets. Its appearance is pretty comical it looks a pancake should be pretty easy to make a meme out of. Hope you see my comment and take it into consideration. Thanks for reading (DAY: 2)

THANK YOU SPOOKSTON FOR MAKING MY REQUESTED VIDEO!! Can we see the 50mm Puma? I know you like fast vehicles so I imagine that it would be really fun. Thanks!

6:16 this is very wholesome and i hope you do this move in your videos.

Day 36 of asking Spookston to play the IS-2 (1944) Please it's my birthday 🙂

The Panzer IV is such a good tank although certainly under-tiered. Anyway, (day 35 asking) you should try the Japanese STA1/2/3/Type 61 (they're all kinda the same), decent mobility, good gun and great sight magnification makes them pretty fun to play.

The Panzer G in the italian tree is so strong for where it's at in the tier. Same round as the Turan III but, with the armor of a panzer. I have a clip of five tanks trying to push me in it and im just waiting for my reload between kills pretty much haha.

i've played the Pz 4 G in 5.0 and did pretty well. when it gets its upgrades, it's quite maneuverable.

Would love to see an uncommon soviet tank destroyer get showcased, like the SU-100P. Great pen for br, only thing is it is open topped (day 69)

Mad respect for you ending the video mid explosion. That’s very fitting for the for tank itself X,D Also, now that you’ve called out the cupola for looking like a LEGO stud, now I want to see a panzer 4 with, like, a Doug Dimmadome style cupola. Just endlessly tall.

Haven't played war thunder in years and every time I get the itch to play I watch one of your videos so I never make that mistake again. Thanks champ

I had a interesting match where i was crossing over a bridge in a PZ IV H when i encountered the side of a T-44. The funny thing is that we simultaneously killed each other!

German teammates try to not be deaf, blind and dumb challenge (impossible)

Day 4: come on you know you want to play the jagdtiger admit it

That edit at the end was too good

when i got my first 5.3 (panther D) i used to play with panzer 4 F2 with it and it was very good, the pen is similar from an sherman 76

“Thankfully, he’s disabled.” -Spookston,2023

Good playing style! Would like to see you play the PzKw IV-H. It has the armored skirts that will help deflect/defeat HE rounds you may encounter, plus it looks like a Tiger at a distance, fooling some players.

Hey spookston. since you loved the P26/40. you should try out the two 2.3 tanks with the exact same gun with the exact same shell. the 75/34 m42 & the 75/32 m41 can one shot everything at 2.3. Including the 2C if you aim between the front most fuel tanks on the right hand side.

Thanks for using our great medium tank hope you like it

Day 31 of asking spookston to play the m4a3 105

Sherman with 76 mm gun somehow is 4.7 and 5.3 BRs but this thing somehow is 3.3, 3.7 and 4.0 BR. If this isn't German bias i don't know what is this.

Hey Spookston, just wanted to say I really love your vids. I finally took myself out of arcade and into a realistic ground battles and had a lot of fun. So thanks for making me want to try RGB😭😭😭

I like how at 7:39 he gets shot with only 2 left and still continues to talk nonchalantly

That one moment when the chin-nu took his kill at the exact time he fired at 14:46 and then the way he just turns silently made me laugh so hard

Day 30 of begging for the Type 87 RCV

I use to play the Pz IV G and H in my German 5.3 lineup as a gimmick. Quickly learned they can indeed hold their own in that BR bracket... only issue is anyone spots you, you're dead XD jokes aside yeah when I'm actually playing them in their desginated BR they are monsters and I remember when the IV G was one of the only counters against KV-1s when the Zis-5 use to be a Rank II and lower in BR. Even the Panzer IIIs can be a menace if you play em right.

Hi, remember that video on the M4A1 w(76)? They raised the tier to 5.0 on that tank

"I'm all by myself now" *odst ost plays* love that reference

I don't think I've seen you play the Chi-Ha LG. Its fun even in an up-tier with that 120mm

My favourite lineup right now is the swedish pzIV and t34. That combo is too good.

I used to use the Panzer IV's (G & H variants) as my mainstay for a couple years. They helped me unlock most of the tech tree in that time, when they were tier 3. When they moved down to tier 2, I started using the SPG's in tier 3 and if I get more than 3 kills I get strafed, focus killed by CAS. I still think the Panzer IV's have the best line up in the game.

finally i can have the true spookston watching experience, with my gremlin plush right by my side

hey. maybe you could do a video playing the TAM, i found it a very interesting tank also, great video

14:45 The silent treatment after that killed me

ok, that last match was pure domination

@Spookston perhaps consider investing in a few long cables so you can put your pc in a different room if possible

I need a “spookstons guide to WT” How to play tanks, how certain tanks interact, tactics and such

Hey, Spookston you should play the m901 or the Wallie its a fun tank (when it works) i highly recommend you play it .

I would love to see you play anything at France 7.7, that BR is loaded with great vehicles right now. Though personally I love the AMX-13-90

Would be really interesting to see the Port Novo game from the perspective of the 10 tanks sitting in spawn for no apparent reason.

Thank you spookston

13:55 That professional medal just to hammer the point :D

Spookston should really play the comet, it's really fun, although it has the worse 17pounder that just about can't pen the Panther's hull

Spookston, you do know when carrying ammo you can add 1 extra round to ur "max" because of the round in the breech you spawn in with.

hearing that sudden burst of the OST from vordt of the boreal valley in dark souls 3 made me want to see you play dark souls.

out of all the war thunder youtubers youre my fav. just chill vibes and cas

3:46 achktually, they have the same amount of HE filler. From what I understand, the difference between the 75 and long 75 is just the amount of propellant, the shell flies faster, so it has more penetration on the panther, otherwise it is the same shell. Same with the 88 and long 88. At least that is what I understood from it, correct me if I am wrong

After playing a few low tier air rb I too am amazed at how many people crash

You should play the late war Germany line up (Tiger 2 P+H, Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Me 262 A-1U4). Since the B.R changes its moved up to 6.7 and 6.7 is almost always a slight or full uptier.

great video!

lmao when he shot the ground and the log went up with the crater

That ending. Perfection.

Spookston slaying love too see it 😻

I think the Brit Sherman III/IV appears rounder because it has a sideskirt/fender none of the others have. Maybe it was to keep the dust down in North Africa?

The pz 4 g and pz 4 f2 is what i ran for a while and i learned they can take hella hits and still be operational

the cupola honestly looks like something i'd wanna snap off like a stud off a lego build

I’d love to see spookston play the Pz III N at 3.0

Spooks last death was an absolute jump scare 😂

Hey Spookston, I like your videos. You encouraged me stop putting bush on my tank or paint them black😊

I brought it too 6.7-7.7 before, it still absolutely smacks at that br.

It's been pretty delightful watching spookston git gud at the game

late war panzer 4s with the add on armor and camo nets are the drippiest thing in ww2

as someone currently at the long 75 Pz.IVs for Germany, they're really fun and easy to dominate in if you're either lucky or somewhat skilled.
