The Panzer IV Type H in Aces High II
Keeping in mind that the Panzer IV was designed as an infantry support tank from the very beginning, it is often over-looked by people even though it went on to be one of Germany's most reliable tanks and ultimately served as the backbone of the German panzer divisions throughout the entire war.
If not the most popular tank, then certainly the most used. It is probably the best non perked tank in Aces High, the only attribute comparatively sub par on is turret armor.
The Panzer IV H has a 75mm Kw.K.40 L / 48 main gun, and three 7.92mm (hull, co-axial, and pintle AA) MG's as secondary armament. The 75mm Kw.K.40 L / 48 is only behind the Tiger II, Panther, Firefly, and Tiger in terms of AP ability. It is the best of the "middle tier" tank guns in Aces High, with the US M4A3 (W) 76mm M1A1 gun right behind it and the T34/85mm in 3rd. Although the Panzer IV has the weakest armor of all the tanks in Aces High, it does have 2 things going for it that is often over looked: it is not perked like the M4/76mm and T34/85 and it has superior optical clarity. The Germans had the best optical clarity in WWII and Hitech Creations has done a decent job modeling that in Aces High. The Panzer IV H can stand off at 2000 yards and actually see its target with some precision even though it only has a 2.4X zoom. The Soveit T34 series has the worst optical clarity in the game and can only hope to find targets at 2000 yards and further away. The M4/76mm does have a 5X zoom and the optics are better than the Soviets, but it still is not anywhere near the clarity of German optics. So while the Panzer IV H has the weakest armor, it has the best middle tier gun, better optics, and is not perked.
