- Even if you decide to go the full tech tree, Hetzer is the first medium to hit the field and has a 2 minute window to wreck havoc before shit34 pumps.
- At Vet1 gets the target size of UC [extremely small].
- Pair with 1 rak and 2 volks and can tackle pretty much any threat.
- Blitz trucks from the doctrine actually allows the battlegroup described above to be very combat efficient.
- Can shred mgs, 82mm spammers, buildings, even ATG if flanked.
- Can also shred emplacemets.
- Has actual armor of PzIV and HP of a medium tank whilst costing way less fuel-wise.
Why does this forum consider it "subpar"? Oh yeah I forgot because it is better to stall for PzIVJ which actually makes the enemy player spam snares and ATGs just because of how good it is perceived to be and if you don't micro it to perfection you will get 2v1ed and most likely lose it lol. You are way better as OKW stalling for Konigstiger anyways and have 2-3 raks as AT squads.
