Why would you ever pick the Jagdtiger over the KT?
Posts: 474
The only pros vs the KT I can see are:
- longer range, though you need forward spotters to use it
- cheaper and doesn't need teching
- has a barrage ability
- possibly better pen / damage (?)
While the list of cons:
- extremely sluggish, even with the engine upgrade
- no turret
- no MG upgrade
- can't really hurt infantry
- gets stunned by any penetrating shot unless it's vet 5
I haven't played much with it but it seems like a very awkward and unflexible unit. You trade all the flexibility of the KT for increased firepower which I'm not really sure is worth it since most allied tanks are no match for the KT anyway.
Thoughts?

It is pretty map dependent though, and really only good in 2v2+ where there is less chance of getting flanked. If you get it on minsk pocket it's pretty much gg, and it is also the mega counter to any soviet tank destroyers + ISU-152 since they have no turret.

Jagdtiger is an insane tank destroyer. Its really good in 2vs2 and above. I prefer it over a KT on some maps. Jagdtiger shines when you protect its flanks well and have plenty of sight to rek allied tanks from the fog of war. Not so potent on urban maps.
But that's why you got Sturmtiger, that thing is hilarious in cramped 2v2+ map like Ettelbruck.

Lol, no not really. The game sensors the p word (also known as the female reproductive genitalia).
One random in 4v4 land called it that, and it stuck for me.

I have a great response to that, but I'll need to PM it because it's not appropriate for public chat.

I agree sturmtiger is sick on urban maps. KT is a safer choice though. The thing is that the Sturmtiger is guaranteed fun, even on open maps. Its a little bit absent on the field compared to KT and Jagdtiger due to shoot, retreat and reload mechanism, but can be so devastating when it hits your target.

Been waiting all night for that PM bro, where is it??

How do you risk such an expensive unit in urban areas?
Roads are my favourite place to lay mines and demos, or a mine and demo together especially cross roads.
Plus you never know what's around the next building... could be 2 jacksons waiting to tear you a new arsehole or 3

Apart from those obvious cases in 2vs2 and above I think the Jagdtiger has very limited use in 1vs1, only in maps like Langreskaya as mentioned above. Even there I would rather choose the KT since it deals decent damage to infantry either contrary to the JT. Everything armour related can be countered by KT as well. The only case where I would speculate about going for JT is against emplacements (JT outranges 17-Pounder as far as I know).
