Ehm, no.
T34 has great AI and sufficient AT to flank PIVs.
PIVs have ok AI and sufficient AT to frontal T34s.
Problem? Nope.
that's the problem! it's not supposed to always rely on flanking! it's medium tank, not a m18 tank destroyer. + as i stated before, it's rounds are not supposed to bounce of the panthers rear. it's penetration is too low and even with my suggested 110 penetration the rounds will still bounce of the panzer IVs frontal armor. the penetration chance will only increase from 50 pct to 68 pct it's NOT A HUGE DEAL ANYWAYS so there is nothing to complain about!
the only reason why the panzer IV seems like it has bad AI is because relic nerfed the accuracy too shit ( which is the most stupidest change they have done )
elite panzer crew not hitting for shit how ridiculous is that? the only thing they should have done to mitigate panzer IVs Anti Infantry is to decrease splash damage on panzer IVs.
a few patches ago panzer IVs were so OP against infantry because their splash damage was much bigger than the t34s but instead of nerfing the splash redius they made a stupid accuracy reduction to a point where panzer IVs are less accurate than t34s.
even if t34s did manage to flank the panzer IV, the panzer IV will still win because it only takes the panzer IV 4 hits to kill a t34 while the t34 takes 7. the reload times on each tank are just less than 1 second apart so the t34 will still lose in that engagement.
