Thoses at minimum would be 7.0 lmao they are direct improvements over the current jagdtiger and tiger 2. Fixing both of the issues with the late German heavys. The lack of mobility especially in the case of the jagdtiger from 600hp to 1000hp with a lot of torque
Copy paste isn’t controversial, right. That’s why Gaijin felt the need to write this community post and why the thread is almost 1300 comments deep.
The Tiger II is at 6.7 and the Tiger II Sla is also at 6.7 despite having better mobility. If you were to replicate this scenario with the two Jagdtigers, one regular and one Sla, they would also be at the same BR, just like the Tiger II and the Tiger II Sla are at the same BR. In both cases we are literally talking about the same engines.
Technically the Jagdtiger was the only vehicle a Sla engine was ever installed on, installation in the Tiger II never occurred, it was simply proposed. But it is the same engine we have in game already and it does not have 1000hp of output.
Hell, the pre series Tiger II is even worse compared to the Tiger II Sla because it has both worse mobility and a worst turret and it’s still 6.7. You can lmao me all you want.
I think there would be ways of making them be 7.0, but it would require giving them additional factors.
No the issue with copy and paste is the focus on it and not domestic options again only one of my suggestions would actually be copy and paste. The m47 although boring as a addition it’s something that would help the post WW2 brs
Minor improvements compared to a huge increase in mobility speed and power while still being one of the most heavily armoured tank if the br range and the tiger 2 late production could add its range finder along with the 700hp engine
That’s because your thinking of the wrong engine girlie. The 1000hp engine came from a gas turbine engine modfied 262 engine for ground use and as far as the story goes in early 45 this was tested and burning down parts if a forest from 1m flames. It was not just the same engine as the SLA
The proof is limited there’s reports here and there from Ferdinand Porsche talking to reporters and news during the ending of the war id personally recommend you do your own research there and see what you believe.
Here’s a old thing from the tank museum about it Gas Turbine Jagdtiger - The Tank Museum
They could do what they did with the original Italian subtree in Germany and just remove it from anyone unlocking it in the future once it was added to the actual Italian tree
I would rather see them try their hands at the real Ho-Ri, which is arguably a more interesting vehicle with an assisted loading device and mounted dual 20mm cannon on the engine bay.
It probably wouldn’t be at the same BR with the significantly thinner armor protection though, so it wouldn’t really be much of a replacement, only a historical correction the same way a real Panther II wouldn’t be at the BR the removed tank was.
I wouldn’t mind the fake tanks returning as long as they were open about them being fake, and tried to inform people on the why’s and how’s of it. I don’t think vehicles like that should become a regular thing, but for those that already exist I think a more open approach is the only way they can reasonably be accessible to players.
I also think this should be done for currently available fake tanks like the Ho-Ri tanks or the F-16AJ (that’s arguably the worst because they put out blatant misinformation about it to pretend it’s accurate)
