Crew: 98%Quick detail: Are we there yet?The mobility itself is poor, the tank turns like a whale. However, the top speed isn't bad for a German tank. It's just 2km/h short of the King Tiger's topspeed, they share the same hull after all. The low turning speed isn't that bad, unless people show up in your flank. But then again, a TD should be positioned in such a way it cannot be easily flanked. The reason for the bad mobility is the weak engine, compared to the weight. Don't even try to go uphill in this, you'll cry until you get onto the hill, which is 2 games later.Don't use octane in this, you will regret it.Quick detail: Pew pew pew pewEven though 8.8cm doesn't sound scary, it actually is. The firing rate is just insane. And I do mean, INSANE. With 100% crew, Ventilation and Brother is Arms you should be able to get a reload speed of about 4.5 seconds. Yes, four. point. five. seconds. An enemy will be torn apart before he realizes he's being shot at by just one tank, instead of 2-3. Also, this thing has 203 penetration, which is satisfactory. You can penetrate most enemies with ease, and if you can't, aiming at weakspots is no problem. It's quite accurate too.And for shits and giggles a small calculation:Your average damage is 240, and lets say you have a reload of 4.5 seconds. You're in a one on one situation with an IS-3, 1450 health points. How long does it take to get him? Lets see: 1450/240 = 6.04 shots. With a bit of luck, 6 shots. 6*4.5 = 27. In about 27 seconds, that full HP IS-3, is history.In those 27 seconds, that IS-3 (with 100% crew), has only fired:Twice.(With a bit of bad luck he fired three times, but that depends on the situation)Quick detail: Tier 9 armour on tier 8, why not?Exactly the same as the normal Jagdtiger, at tier 8. If you position yourself properly, you are almost invincible. The armour on the upperstructure is very good. On tier 8, only goldammo can penetrate it reliably. If you can, hide your lower front plate, that part is pretty weak. And located behind it, is the gearbox, which doesn't like eating shells. Position yourself hull-down, and fire away! And of course, watch for arty.Another nasty thing. It seems like the gun mantlet is bugged. I don't know if it's still here, but when it was introduced, the mantlet had almost no armour. If people hit you at the center of the gun, it would go right through.Expect a lot of engine damage, getting shot through the lower front is almost a guaranteed fire. And like I said, the mantlet isn't that strong, so expect quite a bit of gun damage. Furthermore, I advice against using octane, since you will burn quite a lot.Of course Ventilation and Rammer. The rest is up to the user. Spall liner can be handy, but a GLD can be useful too, although the aiming speed isn't that bad.Pretty darn huge. This doesn't matter for the front, since it's heavily armoured. However, the sides are not so strong, and make a darn nice arty target. Avoid showing your sides at all cost.You should drive it like, you now, a normal German TD. Stay back a bit, and snipe the heck out of the enemy. Avoid driving at the front, since you don't know what's waiting for you. When the front lines have been scouted and a few enemies killed, you can move forward, your frontal armour can take quite a beating. But be careful and let nobody flank you. Make sure you have someone watching your back, whenever you're alone, you're a sitting duck.Amazingly, this tank makes quite a bit of money. The Alpha damage isn't high, but because you can dash out a lot of shells in a short time, you are able to deal massive amounts of damage. And thus, earn a lot of credits. Getting +100k credits in a game isn't really hard in this tank. Just make sure every one of your shots hits. (Like of course, you should with every tank)It's funny to play, just to pew pew pew the enemy. Most enemies don't realise their HP is going down very quickly. I wouldn't pick this tank that easily if I'm alone, but in a platoon this thing can be very devastating. Until you get flanked or/and hit by arty. Then you can wave goodbye to your team. That's the reason to platoon, to avoid getting flanked so your main enemy will be the arty, or another tier 8 TD.Probably yes, although I don't regularly play this, I think this is a nice tank to play. But yeah, having 93 tanks in garage doesn't help.Replays: here
