I don't think that JPz4's armor is the issue here. I think it is the cannon that is in question. Both American and USSR TDs get a cannon that is capable of penetrating 160+mm of armor, whereas JPz4 is stuck with the short 88mm that can barely penetrate 140mm (on a lucky roll at that too!), which means that it has almost no chance to penetrate tier 7 and above vehicles, which it meets so often. Sometimes even tier 5 vehicles bounce this gun if hit at a higher angle (not a critical angle at that), where in the same situation both the Slugger and SU-100 would succeed to penetrate the target.
So, the question is, are there any plans to actually improve the CANNON, not the armor of JagdPanzer IV?

Overlord: No, there are no plans to change the penetration values.
