The Pak40 almost can't fail to penetrate anything, the Pak 38 has a very high chance to fail to penetrate larger units like Churchills and Pershings/jumbo's.

You don't see too many pershings right now because Royal Engineers isn't in place. I run 2 Pak40's right now and I love them. Looking into boosting the speed of them though, 2.5 is just a little too painful

do the fire slower than a 57 or the same as?

cause if I remember off the top of my head, 187 damage isnt far off a bloody 88...which is 220 I think :s.............

DPS of pak40 is 1 percent higher than that of the pak38, assuming no cloak-fire from the pak38. But it penetrates better, and is better vs greyhounds.

pak40 + vet 3 = 224 damage
pak40 + vet 3 + officer = around 270 damage IIRC.

You need a Senior OFficer to do that? A tier 3 unlock?

DPS is pointless on atgs unless your enemy sits right infront of the thing. Most atgs get 1 shot on a vehicle before its either been pulled back or flanks your atg.

The pak 40 is Godly if you choose the tier4 that gives it the ability to cloak. Range doesn't matter if the enemy doesn't even know it's there and a sherman is NOT going to want to have a pak40 say "peekaboo!"

In which case I'd still take the PaK38, due to the huge accuracy increase on the ambush shot.
DPS of pak40 is 1 percent higher than that of the pak38, assuming no cloak-fire from the pak38. But it penetrates better, and is better vs greyhounds.
So, taking Cloak into account (because it will be a factor 99% of the time), the 38 has a higher DPS, as well?

Depending on how many cloakshots/total shots you assume the pak38 gets.

but remember it 2  shots m8s, t17s and almost 1 shots halftracks

pak 38 needs 3 shots so pak 40 is  50% more effective. Tongue

IMO, since the first shot of an ATG in an engagement is what matters, I find the extra damage is far more useful than sustained DPS benefit that the Pak38 has.

Generally, the Pak40 will make any allied tank reverse on the first shot because they simply cannot take the punishment or risk taking a second shot. You do not have this deterrent with the 38, churchills, pershings, Jumbos, they will gladly close the distance to eliminate that pak, as such they will not usually engage in a firefight long enough to make the DPS advantage of the Pak38 useful.

again, imo.
