Time for more tanks! Above you see two in-game models of Panzer IV Aufs. D and Char B1 bis. Tell us which tank/panzer you like more and why.
Here's the small description of each tank.
Panzer IV Aufs. D
The best variant of Panzer IV medium tank that was used in the early stages of the war (up to the invasion of Soviet Union in June 1941). It had a low-velocity 75mm gun and two MG34 machine guns. Panzer IVD gun was not well suited against British tanks during the invasion of France, as it had difficulty penetrating the armor of Matilda II tanks. The main advantage of IVD was speed, as it was faster than its British and French counterparts, better organization, and radios that were implemented in the tanks.
Char B1 bis
French heavy tank manufactured before World War II. Char B1 was a specialized break-through vehicle, originally conceived with a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull. The Char B1 bis was an upgraded variant with thicker armor and a longer-barreled 47 mm gun, to give the tank a real anti-tank capacity. It was produced from April 1937 to June 1940. The Char B1 served with the armored divisions of the infantry, which were highly specialized offensive units, to breakthrough fortified positions. Its 75 mm gun could easily penetrate the armor of German tanks, even Panzer IV’s. Still, it was a very complex tank and required careful maintenance. Another problem was the requirement of a well-trained crew, which the French lacked at the beginning of the war.
