So. Why could that be a thing. it's not the Panther and P4 don't have animations for that ability. And it would have been far more thematic for Jaeger Armor than Break Through supplies.

Because StuG is a thing?
Because no one suggested it?
Because ost already has superior AT?

The JP4 is also a thing
I did multiple time
Ost's AT capabilities are on par with OKW. (yes somehow clunky AT gun hat can nuked from range and no 60TD t is clearly superior to every one else)

JP4 does not cost 90 fuel.

Let me rephrase:
No one with any semblance of credibility suggested it.

Still a step ahead, OKW doesn't struggle, but Ost does better.

Simple reason. They changed elephant so that it couldn't 2 shot medium tanks for balance reasons. HEAT shells would let it do that again which would probably break team games.

That ability doesn't have to affect the Elephant. Didn't they just Removed the scopes from the Elephant. How is this even a valid point???

Doesn't really mater.

Hey, there is no take backs, you said something without thinking it through and you now have to admit you were wrong.

So.......... that's not really much of a reason.

Well that's kind of an important clarification lol. I guess a lot of people would argue that it's overkill to have both Elephant and HEAT but I suppose HEAT would be nice for possible 1v1 usage where you're never going to build the Elephant. I wouldn't scoff at Breakthrough equipment through you have nice synergy to repair up Elephant faster (and theoretically use destroy cover like the new commander text suggests to open up sight lines through that probably won't happen too much lol)

Functionally no real differences. JT is slightly better in most scenarios. Maybe it is also slightly slower, not sure though.
Regarding their use and capabilities, they are almost identical.

I wouldn't call JT to be better. Both the doc that Ele is part of makes Ele quite strong.

I agree, but I assumed he meant a unit by unit comparison. In that I'd personally rank the JT a bit better due to higher health, armor and slightly more useful abilities.

And if it does hit the infantry, even without the barrage, it will do decent damage. Jagd is better, much more cancerous to deal with than the ele. Ele is in a great commander though.

Katitof admit that he's wrong? A very rare occurrence to be asking for. You might as well ask for lightning to strike your house.

Last thing ost needs is hear round esque ability. They've got all anti tank they could possibly need and jäger armour only adds to that.
