German Heavy Armor: Tiger II

The last tank I'm going to tell you boys about is the Tiger II, or the "King Tiger". There's is no other way to say this, so here we go: run. Run away or perform a holding action and call in an air strike from P-51s, because that's the only way to take them out short of getting really, really lucky. 70 Metric tons, 180 mm of armor, and an 8.8 cm cannon that will put a high explosive shell through you, and two more tanks behind you.

German Heavy Armor: Tiger I

Now, I know you boys have run into these before, so you know how dangerous they are. They've got thicker armor than anything but the Russkies have got, and that 88 mm gun they pack can blow through anything we've got, not to mention that if the gunner is good enough, he can shoot down planes! I don't need to tell you that killing them is a priority. The best strategy we've got for doing that takes advantage of their one, glaring weakness: their treads. It's not real hard to damage the tread on a Tiger, making them immobile. However, getting through the armor is still hard, and if you get in their sights you're dead. So, best thing to do is gang up on them, like a pack of wolves. Keep moving, stay out of their sights, and pound 'em with shells till they die!

German Armor: Panzer IV

These are the real scary bastards we're getting into now, boys. The Panzer IV has thick, angled armor, and packs a 75 mm howitzer with Anti-Tank rounds for its main armament! Hell, we've even seen these bastards packing a 105 from time to time! Fortunatly, the Krauts haven't done much of anything to improve the weaknesses of the Panzer line, and that sweet spot where the armor meets on the front

still makes a damn good target, if a tricky one!

German Armor: Panzer III

Next up is the Panzer III! This medium tank is a tougher bastard than the previous light models. Armed with a 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, it is used as a flanking unit or as anti-infantry support for the larger, anti-tank oriented Panzer IV. This bad boy has angled armor that can bounce rounds with ease, but the trick to blowing them away is to hit them in the front, where the bottom and top armor meets. The meeting point is a weak spot, and even though its a bitch to hit, if you put a round there the Panzer is toast!

German Armor: Panzer II

Next up is a medium tank the Huns creatively called the Panzer II! Now, we don't see many of these, as ol' Adolf is sending them at the Brits and the Russkies, but you'd best know anyway! The armor is only a fraction better than that of the Panzer I, and the gun isn't all that dangerous to our newer tanks, but it can still chew up infantry or scout out our people for heavier firepower to hit! Find 'em, kill 'em, and get the hell outta dodge!

German Armor: Panzer 1

First tank I'm going to tell you about is a small, fast little bugger that will dance circles around you, though a shot or two will dispatch it! The Panzerkampfwagen 1 was originally designed by the Huns in the '30's for a training vehicle. Well, they decided to deploy it in combat anyway. Now, these little bastards have paper for armor, and two small caliber machine guns, but they can find you and get back to base to report on your movements faster than shit through a goose, and the next thing you know you'll be neck deep in Huns! Kill 'em fast and move on!

German Armor, Part One

Now don't think everything I have to say is going to be some kind of God-damned speech! I'm here to keep you sorry bastards alive, which means you need to know how to kill the enemy! Now, I'm not going to waste my time telling you how to kill Hun grunts! You boys should know how to handle that shit by yourselves! God gave you fingers to pull triggers!
Now, I'm here to tell you how to kill the damn German Armor!
And killing them is hard, boys, don't get me wrong. Their armor is thick and angled well to make our shells bounce off like pebbles! Their guns...well boys, let me put it this way. There ain't a tank in the world that can survive a direct hit from a German Heavies main gun! It will punch through your armor like a hot knife through butter!
I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about staying alive and killing those tough sons of bitches.
