The real Hetzer (and CoH1 version) had the top-mounted MG remotely operated from inside the tank.

The crew in the new CoH2 Flammen-Hetzer must've been feeling really masochistic when they replaced it with an externally-operated version instead :clap:

Also interesting:

1. The tank periscope on the OKW "Flammpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer"" is missing.

2. The "Hetzer" is shown as a heavy tank (icon) on the minimap.

Yea, I pretty much loled when I saw it first on the stream. Please fix/change it.

@Relic: If you are unsure about this, keep your eyes on the vCoH version of the Hetzer.

Why not the Gunner?

You think it would have been easier to animate the remote controlled MG 42.

Why not? It's basically the same movement with the gunner

Also, while we're talking about issues with the Hetzer's MG upgrade, the voice refers to it as an MG42, but it's definitely an MG34 right now. Maybe if the model gets fixed it will be an MG42?

from this image, it looks as though the decal is upside down on the left side at least.

The reason they used the top mounted one is because like all other Axis tanks it shoots planes with it.

The crew reaaaaalllllyyyy likes the visibility advantage from not being buttoned up. So much, they wanted to create an excuse for one of them to do it constantly in combat.

Not all of them do that, the Hetzer and StuG III doesn't shoot at aircraft because their guns do not pivot or aim high.

CoH2's release models are generally bad. Either were were ported from vCoH (2006!) with little modification, or were rushed because THQ fucked up and died.

We're lucky OKW exists so they would give us a new model for the Panzer IV, the old one looked like a toy.
