Consequences of the introduction of Jagdtigre

Yes indeed, about 10% of early T34 losses were due to 37mm guns, which is proof that T34s had very very varying quality standards.

If the Jagdtiger sits in the gray zone, you most likely donā€™t kill it with anything short of a CAS run, Iā€™m afraid. But you still can pixx it off and annoy it to death by either repeatedly taking out its barrel (risky though), or even better spamming smoke shells on it leaving it blind.

I donā€™t think so imho. Greyzone campers suffers on extreme tunnel vision.

And you literally need to destroy its barrel once. Crew must be in front of tank to repair it.
And if you shoot its track before, he will not be able to retreat behind horizon.

Yes, but still if it somehow manages to spot you before you take out the barrel it can fire back.

I rarely manage to break barrels at the first attempt.

It should have about 25s reload.

I think we will be OK, even if he grey zone camps.

Idk, I donā€™t think Ho-Ri is going to be any problematic. Especially since how BR4/5 US planes are favorite.

You canā€™t even look at skies properly, since it has no hatch.
And you are powerless against infantry since you have no MG. And again, thereā€™s no hatch so you cant use personal weapons.

Yes, there will be situations in which Ho-Ri is going to be annoying. But in exactly the same situations, Jumbo would be annoying in exactly the same way.

So I think the current reload time is okay.

HoRi is in no reason for Jagdtiger not to be included.

APDS I think can pen both frontally, then thereā€™s the US airforce.

Its soviets that need some propper CAS like Tu-2

Letā€™s not be too hasty.

If thereā€™s jgtā€¦ thereā€™s good chances we would also get the ISU152. I like that thing. It booms hard.

No, my bad xD

My brain stopped working and I completely forgot we were talking about JT and not Ho-Ri.

Thereā€™s no reason for not adding JT into to the game. US could get T95 as counterpart

ISU-152 can pen 250 mm at best, while ā€œturretā€ of Jagdtiger has 250 mm thickness and has a small slope.

Western Allies will have no problems with that, but Soviets will have to rely on aircrafts and mortars.

Iā€™m not looking for perfect copy paste counter, like as44 being copies of stg44 ā€œjust becauseā€ and whatnot.

I want ISU152, because I like ISU152.

Agree, but its not in the same league as the Jagdtiger.
In WT JT is BR6.7, ISu152 is 4.7, theyre LEAGUES appart.

Still no real reason for either not to be added; esp Jagd might increase interest in Axis gameplay (& im not even an axis main, they could use the playerbase spike)

Its slow, and brings out the worst of axis tank driver instincts, just sitting and not moving until you get CASed or para pzfausted.

It doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s in the same league or notā€¦ Itā€™s like Sovs MUST absolutely get every counter to everything other factions have, all the time. Reason thereā€™s bizzare choices like as44, or rd44, all panzerfausts and now allies zook.

Meanwhile, allies donā€™t have fausts. Japan doesnā€™t have good cas. Allies doesnā€™t have stg44 analog, or even fg42II or avt40ā€¦ yet theyā€™re happy anyway.

I wouldnā€™t mind ISU152 being a standalone premium, without jgt.

I just am fond of the ISU as it reminds me fun times from RO1 in kurskā€¦

Hopefully it will be a BR6 and fight only against BR6 it would completely ruin BR4-5 matches

Oh I agree, just add stuff cause its good.

Also agree that Relevant holes in rosters should be fixed (they are such as USA/Jap getting mech infantry).
Soviets and Japan missing Br5 CAS; BR4 bazooka for USA/Japan (T74/ 81mm RCL ). No low tier and high tier paras for Axis & Jap respectively etc etc. But one thing at a time I guess, Darkflow is working through it.

Id hope next patch after Axis fanboys start crying about APDS eating their kitties I guess well get Jagdtiger; that would be my guess/hope.

Its IS3 level BR wise; Pershings APDS will be able to pen the superstructure from front, ie 17pdrs have agency against it. Tier wise these are WW2 material but the absolute top tier of it. Think it would be T5 still.

Perching isnā€™t getting APDS. Do you mean APCR?
