“2.) Further tank deliveries until the end of April: 4 Jagdtigers (8,8)”
Might not be a completely accurate translation, though it seems like some were produced?

There is documentary evidence, yes, but there is no surviving vehicle and no photograph, that’s the issue.
I don’t believe that should be an issue, I don’t see a requirement for photographs as a requirement.

Interesting. When I finish work on my current suggestion I’ll look into this as well!
I mean they are all fake things that never killed anybody in any wartime action & have the very real possibility of being ‘armed’ with fake sheet metal or wooden barrels (soviet potemkin vehicles)…
The engine was actually real/tested in a vehicle to the point that they discovered the drawback of it scorching the surrounding vegetation
Obviously, you should promptly bug report that ‘feature’:
(Kugelblende 50 pictured)
The standard Sd. Kfz. 186 is nerfed enough as it is with missing HEAT rounds, missing Triebspiegel rounds, missing AAA weapon, missing horsepower, dubious weapon accuracy & characteristics, a Kugelblende thinner than that found on a Panzer III J1 (as noted above), etc…but since all available information on the alternative Sd. Kfz. 185 clearly state that it ‘never left the factory’ or had ‘no 88 mm ammunition or optics’, then what exactly is the intention here? Get gaijin to introduce a joke ‘free kill’ fake vehicle equipped with a smaller weapon, with no way to aim said weapon, & no ammunition to fire from said weapon? What are you supposed to do with it? Drive around the map, enjoying the (ugly) scenery while getting the ‘Adamant’ reward? No thanks. Just fix the standard Sd. Kfz. 186 instead

Technically speaking, the Kugelblende 50, 80 and 100 all used the same ball, so its wrong, on all of them. And i still hate that, even tho i multiple times reported it, since quite some time, they now updated some Pz IIIs, gave them Hull MGs (non functional but still there) and yet ITS STILL ONLY 20mm THICK, Cal. .50 can go through it. Its a free crit hit for anyone with more than 20mm pen.

Yeah, at least if they are going to create a weak spot, put the dang mg in there to help against bushes and soft targets.
No mg - make it more protected
No, just no. 6.7 is already bad with constantly fighting 7BR+ Tanks. If it goes higher the Armour is absolutely irrelevant anymore, its gun/penetration won’t be that good anymore relative to your opponents and its just slow with a long Reload. Its like an Maus w/o the Armour at 7BR+
It sits at 7.3 in Arcade. Try it out there. Sucks ass. And it completely ruins the Line Up 'cause now if you want to field the Jagdtiger you have to take Tiger II etc with you into 7BR and Uptier at 6.7 is bad already enjoy fighting 8BR+ at Uptier with Tiger 2 / Jagdtiger…

Ammo choice aside which is more arbitrary, are there pending bug reports on the other issues?
armor is already obsolete, you can easily overpressure any tank
even the object279s etc. now that we will get a m55 at 4.0 with a 23kg TNT fillar, itll be even worse than any other HE slinger
just waiting for people to bring it to toptier lmfao (i shall be one of them)
Wait wut?
Almost every country has the m44 at BR 4.0 and they are considering adding the m55 at same BR?
Why?
How about Gaijin fill in some of the big gaps for existing lineups (Italy/Hungarian medium at 5.7 and Japan rank V spaa) instead of doubling down on an spg that is not needed.
dont ask me why, but in the bug reports they also accepted the HE PF for the m55, so itll probably go up
“Everything should be able to pen everything!” Can we PLEASE let some vehicles have some strong points, in this case being relevant armor for their BR? Use your brain when engaging, it’s free.

There is no requirement for photographs or surviving vehicles. The game has added far less real things.

For fun. The M55 will be horrible but funny.
wow who could have guessed dude look at history of tanks back then then come back and tell everyone ur findings dude lol:]
No idea. The only one I intend on doing (soon™) will be for the missing AAA MG 42 and I would like to do one about speeding up its reload since it has two loaders but obviously gaijin will never allow that to happen…
I think its ok sorta for 6.7 now that its engine and drive ratios are correct. still extreme in its armour but it just cant move at all.
firmly belive that the jagdtiger and tiger 2 production (H) should be 7.0 still. German skill issues have kept so much german armour too low for too long
(the shermans did far better in combat)

based on what, because the jagdtiger was mid before the nerf, and the kth is definitely kneecapped by the nerf enough to where you cant justify 7.0 for it anymore
