I mean I guess but as a naval player I think they should at least count the ai controlled boats. There’s not many real naval players each match so it makes it much harder to do.

Horrid, might get the pass for the chance of getting Ro.57 but I also don’t want to spend the money and get USS Detroit
Main production variant tank, should have been tech tree or maybe a easier event.
We already have the same type of torpedo boat.
Bro even as someone who doesn’t like the German tech tree, this is a disgrace of a battle pass. So many really interesting vehicles you could have done for Germany and we get this
and its not even free yea I’m not wasting time with this

The task can be completed surprisingly well if you’ve a vessel that can spam out a bunch of torpedoes in quick succession, usually a destroyer type with either long range torpedoes, or unmodded torpedoes for extra speed (or just france with their 9km range unmodded torpedoes).
I personally like France for these missions, anything with a 550 mm L3 will do, say L’intrepide, Le Corse or Le Brestois with the former getting seven torpedoes & the latter twenty four of them.
The L3 us a short range weapon but has a potent charge, covering a cap point or a channel can be devastating.
Do plane torpedos count?
Woah gaijin this is some godtier level of bait. “We heard you dear community! You wanted less copy paste and more original content in the battle pass after the 10 previous ones have been hot garbage!”
So here’s a new battle pass… with copy pasted vehicles… that are not original at all.
You had everyone thinking it would be something like StuG IV.
Absolutely legendary bait.

The thing that sucks is it’s rank three for all of these. Because at rank 3+ naval (unless you are one of the rank three destroyers or get a downtier) if you are close enough to use torpedos you are probably already long dead.
I usually resort to using rank 3 coastal boats for these missions, but it still is torture. Some nations have frigates that can be used as mini destroyers, which are perfect for these missions as they are high rank coastal and get the credit, but still relatively low br. Unfortunately most people aren’t going to grind to top tier coastal
Might need the CM for that question, but the task doesn’t specify just yet on the wiki, or at least how interpret it.
I fear them
StuG IV was never eligible to be a main prize. Too low in BR.
I am fine with copypaste in BP because it does not gate unique content to future players. Having said that, of all the vehicles one might have copied, the Jagdpanther is one of the least interesting options. It will be the 4th casemate TD at 6.3…

Atp who even cares they couldve done an exception and people wouldve rushed to buy the battlepass and grind it as if their lives depended on it.
And true we couldve had something better… like a Panther 2? With the Panther G/F turret and a 75mm gun, with a cool 3d skin. Nah…

We didn’t get one in the current bp. We’re not good enough for them anymore :/

Depending on what you call a mini destroyer, may very well be a destroyer but the devs don’t care for correct naval classification unless it suits them, eg: JDS Ayanami DD-103, Ayanami class Destroyer (1958), Rank V BR 4.3 “Frigate” in game…
Rank III destroyers from personal observation do get a lot of low BR matches on occasions, but at 5.3 or lower if you force yourself into it on the right maps you can pull off torpedo attacks effectively. In some cases your Rank III vessel is a carry over from the old TT eg: T31, Type 1939 Fleet Torpedo Boat, Rank III BR 4.0 “Destroyer” in game. An sometimes you don’t even need to get close & instead hunt capital ships with long range torpedoes against easy targets like with torpedoes like the 53-65 found on the Project 56 destroyers, Rank III BR 5.3.
In the end it’s not our fault people don’t research at least one of every tree branch to their fullest, yet often the complaint is for the simplest of tasks or mildly tedious an the complaints are the loudest vs complaining about some of the most downright trickiest of tasks (remember the 5000 metre distance bomb task?). The players can easily skip a task an make up for it in daily tasks, skip it all together, skip it by GE or just play the damn mode (funny ran into someone doing the latter, they enjoyed the mode yet were happy to complete their task of X amount of points with Rank III the other day).

What is it?
This noticeably improves steering responsiveness. If you want an example take a test drive on any M1 vs a Leopard 2 as Leopards have higher inertia. You will notice.

Another problem for this could be that I play Italy and the naval situation for us is not the best. (By mini destroyer I meant the RN gabbiano, though this problem is still technically in Italy as the RN Ghibli was originally classed a destroyer escort)
Though in general I actually want more naval tasks in the battle pass (with a greater range of difficulty) so that first it gives me an excuse to play naval more but also gives new people a reason to start playing naval.
Also I think we should get better naval battlepass vehicles like we used to (ie the GOAT Pr.183 BM-21, or the Zippo)
No one seems to have noted what the actual difference between a Jagdpanther G1 and G2 is. G2 has the engine deck from a Panther G (G1 was from a Panther A) and a larger gun mantlet
