Jagdtiger not reliable anymore?

and that would result in a broken unit.

A valid point, but it was a rather last minute change and the Elefant is (imo) a proven concept. I honestly don't know what else could've been done to make the unit more attractive without making it overpowered again.

• Are the veterancy requirements the same as the Elephant (vet levels 1-3 at least)?
  
• Does Vet 2 now give the JT 20% more Acceleration like the Ele receives?
  
• What does the 60 Munition engine upgrade do now?
  
• What does Vet 5 do?
  
• Were any changes made to the Supporting Fire ability?

• Why do all three trucks need to be converted before a JT can be called it? Intended?

Looking at the release notes and testing in game, I have a few questions.

Supporting fire:

It has roughly 4x the area as the Greyhound's cannister fire. They compensated for the 4x area by making the ability active long enough for 3-4 shots, giving it 70 range, and allowing it to shoot into the fog of war at 70 range. At least the price is the same as cannister fire. If you get bored, try a 4v4 and use this and Assault Arty and see how well you can rek shit. It really should have had world-piercing also. I can see why players call it garbage./sarcasm

The only thing about this that doesn't seem crazy good is requiring all three trucks and 15 CP.

To clarify, it's not a timed ability, it fires a set number of shots every time assuming you do not give it another command mid barrage. 3 at vet 0, 5 at vet 1. The main issue with it is its inconsistency finding the target. If it's a totally open firing lane with not even a hint of debris/shot blockers it can be good, otherwise a lot of the shots collide with objects/terrain early and do nothing.

Doesn't matter though, they're not going to change it now so no point discussing its merits. It is what it is.

Supporting Fire actually has 95 range.
