i mean, also the tigers could be considered not invicible since M5s can pen it from the side, and the back.
but guess what, it is.
the jumbo is no different.
just because you can snipe his mg port, and kills SOME members, does not justify the fact that he can most likely one tap you.
in piano cases, those guys were somewhat smart and angling the tank. and piano himself angled the tank allowing the second panzer III for a gun breach.
because, once again, a tank can be measured in many ways. but it’s not accountable for those who simply does not how to play it.
let me explain better.
take as example, a non experient PZ IV H user, and a non experient Jumbo user.
both can pretty much die at any moment. but if they face each other, the jumbo will take major punishment and survive.
the same cannot be said about the PZ IV H.
so there, it’s not invincible.
now take as example an experient jumbo user, and an experient PZ IV H user.
who’s gonna win?
it really depends. but majority of the situations based on terrain, layout of the map, and routes, the jumbo.
why?
let me see.
as piano did, which it’s what 70% of jumbo users does ( maybe more ) sits in the gray area. shooting at everyone that moves.
and what chances the panzer have?
none.
the only way currently you can take out a jumbo is through sides, ( which it’s not always possible. who could have guessed ) and / or go for his mg port. for than die, and your sacrifice helped someone else that will do the same, and probably kill the jumbo.
so in majority of the cases it’s a 2v1 for dealing with a jumbo.
and keep in mind that this is still somewhat possible to manage, because the damage tanks are unconsistent.
because you would get 1 tapped with not even having the chance to react due to the armor when it’s going to be fixed.
also, as mentioned before, going for the mg port, does not change the fact that he can simply replace the dead gunner while you are still reloading and shoot you back.
which of course it’s not going to wipe all the jumbo crew.
i’m amazed how people still defend such tank that has literal no counter outside CAS.
( did i mentioned tanks are immune to rockets as well ? )
and lastly argument that people does: " just flank it ".
real commedians.
because once again, maps does not allow for flanks since the majority are straight foward. and once again, flank someone that it’s sitting in it’s spawn…
or lose major minuts just to get in a good position to shoot at the jumbo. ( where your point can get captured or you can lose because you can’t do much about it if you are attacking outside begging for CAS ).
but i don’t recall the jumbo it self flanking or loosing minuts to reposition him self just to engage german tanks, now do they?
