Hetzer is a StuG that is smaller (aka harder to spot and hit) and with better armor on the front. There is no tank in BR II that would pierce its front armor, and most (if not all) BR III tanks from the soviet and US wouldn’t either.
Enjoy your premium seal clubbing

Ah yes, two tank that can’t kill the hetzer from the front and will get killed by the german long 75.
Also I guess that the western allies are irrelevant

You can pen the area of approx 100 cm2 (for US: area of 3 burgers) so by devs standard it’s ok.

then, sure.
br II it’s just unlogical.

Stug III with 50mm of armor should be in BR2 instead of BR3, but the Hetzer?
You do know that it has pretty much the same armor and gun of the Jagdpanzer IV L48 right, which sits in BR4?
Not that the Jagdpanzer belongs into BR4 to begin with, but that’s a different issue.
I will tell you why I think that the Hetzer should actually be a premium BR4 vehicle, with better AP ammo, not only because it actually was a late war vehicle,
but because of its remote controlled top mounted MG.
It would be the only vehicle that could defend itself from all directions - without exposing the shooter.

Hetzer is better than stug in basically every way, lol.
I definitely do not want another puma level vehicle on BR2.

Hetzer would be overkill for BR2.
Hetzer is definitely BR3 material, Hetzer has decent gun and respectable armour, especially on the front. It does have a top mounted remote controlled MG that should be linked to commader view as with Japanese hull MGs.
While the Hetzer could be a weak tank on BR4, I believe it would be much more reasonable to put it in BR3 because Germany has many tanks on BR4 already (Tiger H1, Panthers, Jagdpanzer IV, Panzer IV H) while BR3 are just 2 panzer IVs and a StuG. Hetzer would bring some nice variety to BR3.
As for BR2, the Panzer III L could be added foldered under the J1, but depending on the map you might be better off using the Puma.

I just want the Hetzer, to Hetz ppl with.
I don’t care which br (it’s irrelevant as br2 and br3 are sadly the same for now).
I hope the 360 degree periscope mg34 would be functional.

Are you out of your mind?
BR2 lineup: can end up only fighting BR1-3.
BR3 lineup: can end up fighting everything up to BR5.
Idk about you, but I see quite significant difference.

No.
So calm your tits:
I meant as in br 2 and 3 can fight each others as there’s no more than 2 insufficient queues.
Still, they are not the same. One can go up to BR5, the other cant.
You KNOW what I mean…
It was a subtle rant against the fact we just got two queues… I want +/- 0 or at the bare minimum +/-1…
so 91mm effective frontal armor? only thing that can pen this is KV1 zis-5, churchill III and crusader. regular 75mm can only pen it with perfect angle on 10m distance.
so too strong for BR3 but too weak for BR4. this would be ok addition when there are more queues, but currently with only 2 queues it would be either almost indestructible frontally for BR1-3 or absolute joke for BR3-5

You forgot that the Hetzer is a TD with thin side armour. Any BR2 tank can destroy it from the side which should be easy considering that it has turn on the target.
i didnt forget it was TD. if every tank was balanced by their side armor then KT wouldnt be unbalanced even for BR3…

Event tank on BR 3.0. Too strong against BR 2.0, too weak against BR 5.0. A tank that cannot be balanced.
even stronger cause americans would only have 1 regular tank +1 premium to actually counter it (BR2 crusader) and soviets would have 1 tank to counter it (BR 3 kv1 zis5).
there are ~8 tanks on german side that can counter KV1
