So the same BR as the IS2? Which has worse optics, slower reload, less pen and less armor? Sure it has a turret, but also come with a lousy -3 gun depression.
Not sure how you can justify lowering it to same BR as the Jagdpanther, also a casemate. It’s better mobility only goes so far as it would also be terrible in CQC battles.
Where did I say the M51 was not decent? Bold or underline please.
right there
When M-51 have became a light tank?
There’s also the option of giving the Jadgtiger the Maus treatment. Just remove it from the TT and give ppl who already bought it an option to refund it.
Read it again.
“decent LIGHT tank”
The M51 is NOT a light tank. You are projecting something into my post that is not there.
Yep, you’re correct. It’s fine at 6.7. It should not go up nor down.
If it has a performance problem (I don’t know if that’s the case, just hypothetically) simply lower the reload a little. There is absolutely no need for it to be 6.3 or 7.0 under the current state of compression.
oh shoot my bad sorry im just stupid and cant read
The Jagdtiger works well if you have team that know teamplay or having friends covering your side from flanking otherwise you are dead in every map.
TD vs Heavy Tank, it’s not comparable.
I’m not saying it SHOULD be lowered in BR, I’m saying if it’s to undergo any BR changes, it should be going down, not up, due to the sheer amount of APDS and HEAT/FS it faces that nullifies it. Jagdtiger should be THE casemate of the game, one you absolutely have to flank or TBT to kill.
I did give you a comparable - the Jagdpanther.
Would take that over Jagdtiger in most situations.
WT is about mobility, firepower and reload speed. Armour is mostly a burden.
Mount a kugelblitz turrent on top of it and make it 7.0, then it would be reasonable.
If you get used to aiming with a specific tank, you can actually pretty reliably shoot the MG port on the hull. If they’re using bushes you can sometimes .50 cal them off to get a quick shot at it. I’m able to do it often with the T29 and T34, at 7.0 and 6.7 respectively. I’ve even done it with the M26’s 90mm before. Almost every 6.7 tank has enough firepower to punch through that MG port at least at a head-on angle within 200 meters, which is most engagements with the Jagdtiger. If you have enough pen, you can also shoot the very top or very bottom of the lower part of the front plate. This will destroy the transmission easily, allowing you to flank them or at least get out of the limited turning range of their gun barrel.
Also in the case of the M36 or M46, HEATFS can shoot through the upper front plate as well as the sides of the turret effectively as well. Primary ammo storage is in the hull, but if the Jagdtiger player brought more than 12 rounds then there should be ammo on your right in their turret if you’re facing them head-on.
Hope this helps!
Also most Germany players think “bigger gun equals better,” and take the Jagdtiger over the Ferdinand. But part of becoming a veteran Germany player is realizing the Ferdinand is actually even better than the Jagdtiger.
Yep. It’s rhe most situational of those factors. I would add targeting speed among the most important ones, and the Jagdtiger sucks at that too.
Especially after the mobility nerf.
As always, non experienced players focus on the big numbers - pen and frontal armour - and not on the various factors that make a vehicle competitive or not.
I love the Jagdtiger to bits, but it’s exceedingly rarely a meta spawn option in this game.
