JagdPz IV Research Path

Ah the JagdPz IV. One of World of Tank's underpowered German tank destroyers. With the German bias going around, it's no wonder why this tank is pretty difficult to use. That's what most people would say when they grind through the JagdPz Iv. Mostly due to the fact that there are no "real" upgrades on the guns and its gun arc is extremely poor. But if you can find a way to draw out its strengths, you're going to enjoy this tank quite a bit.

You'll have two gun choices the choose from, one of which you should have already researched from the StuG III. In case you didn't, this guide will show you when it's best to get it. Let's get started shall we?

1. Tracks: JagdPz-IV-Ostketten
2. Gun: 7.5 cm StuK 42 L/70
3. Gun: 8.8 cm PaK 36 L/56
4. Engine: Maybach HL 120 TR
5. Engine: Maybach HL 120 TRM
6. Radio: FuG 7
7. Gun: 10.5 cm StuH 42 L/48
8. Tank: JgPanther 

You won't be able to mount anything unless you get the new tracks so aim for those first. Now about the guns; there are two gun options and thanks to patch 8.0, the difference became bigger. The 75 mm has 150 mm of penetration but deals less damage than the 88 mm. It's a good choice to use the 75 mm as it does have a short reload time and it is able to penetrate a lot of armor. The 88 mm may deal more damage per shot but it only has 138 mm of penetration. It's really up to you on which gun you decide you want but personally, if you can't penetrate their armour, you won't be able to damage them.
