Jagdtiger is a useless pile of manure now

4 from 5 distance shots missed.

if you land a shot, a t34 loses a third of its health, and everyone on the map knows where the jagtiger is.

the nerfed rotation made positioning even harder


The Jagdtiger/Ele has always been managable in 1v1 and teamgames, you just needed a bit of coordination. use your arty to chase off inf/paks behind it and then swarm it with mediums

now there is no reason whatsoever to wait 10min and stack Fuel to get the JT

Accuracy reduced from 0.06/0.05/0.04 to 0.055/0.045/0.03

hm

What, if you have "Hans luck", just in one game ?

that was the plan joseph, avoiding okw having insta win buttons

So now you just get JP4s and hope for the best.

"hope for the best" lol

seriously, what's the point in getting the jagtiger now? it's so weak and unreliable there is no gain in getting one anymore.

I agree with most of the balance changes but this time not. with this change there is one strategical option less an strategical diversity got flattened.

--> 4 of 5 misses hm. I will test this in the next 2 weeks. Maybe you really had just bad rng. If not yeah then its too strong.

In January there will be another hotfix coming

80% of the shots missing is completely over-exaggerated, it was just unlucky RNG.

The acceleration- and mobility nerfs were more than deserved, you remember the old vet 2 JT with the upgrade? It was hilarious how that thing was able to escape flanking attacks on its own. (Lets not talk about vet 4 JT aka 70 tons Ferrari, lol)

The damage nerf was perfect imo, it got decreased from 320 to 300 only, means it still deals a lot damage vs tanks but doesnt 1- or 2- shot 95% of the allies tanks anymore without any support which -let's be honest- was really unfair and stupid for a tank that has such a long weapon range.

There is a reason why the old allies meta in the bigger team modes was basically just arty spam in order to erase the axis infantry --> win by map control and VPs, instead of mass-producing tanks and trying to flank the heavy tanks (cos that was kinda impossible* vs decent players and on certain maps; or required cheesy off-map strike spam which got nerfed in last patch)

*Usually, a JT is protected by tanks, AT guns, scouting units, snares and a lot of mines (from your teammate(s))

I think getting multiple Panthers or JP4s is better than getting JT now, but I also think JT is still necessary if the allies reach a critical amount of their lethal TDs (Firefly, Jackson, SU 85)
