Opinions of players

GoHa.Ru: It came to our knowledge that the developers are planning to introduce a new premium 8th tier AT soon – Jagdtiger with 8.8 L/71. Why this exact AT-SPG is planned to be introduced?

murgen[UNC]: I see the situation this way: there are two premium machines planned for the USSR branch – KV-5 and IS-6. German analogue of IS-6 is Lowe, and Jagdtiger may become the mirror of KV-5. Add the minimal amount of updating for the in-game model and research into the premium AT popularity. Actually, I thought that the next to be implemented would be the stormtiger with 88mm, this machine actually was either on papers or even got produced. I’ve not heard anything about 88mm Jagdtiger though.

Ratis[RKKA]: It’s obvious. The Jag’s model is already finished, the gun is finished, so no need to distract programmers from their work. 8th Tier premium heavy tanks are plenty, premium medium tank was also introduced (which was made on the basis of t54’s model, by the way), so now it’s the turn of AT fans.

GoHa.Ru: Do you think that players will be interested in such premium vehicle? After all, it’s the first premium AT-SPG.

murgen[UNC]: Yes, I think it will be popular. It won’t cause such an uproar as the introduction of the Lowe+KV-5 couple, but it will be at least on the level of Type-59.

Ratis[RKKA]: It’s popularity will depend on many factors, but I think it will find it’s fans. There are many players who like ATs, so, unless the price will be through the roof, many will buy it.

GoHa.Ru: This AT’s gun was already seen on the top Tiger variant. It looks pretty weak for an 8th Tier AT, really. What do you think?

murgen[UNC]: You’re forgetting that Jagdtiger’s cabin is much more spacious than the Tiger’s tower. That means increased reload speed, maybe even faster than the already quick speed of targeting, all of that together with the great accuracy makes a really decent 8th Tier gun. Actually, we’re getting StuG III but with Jagdtiger’s armor and the damage output of Tiger I; simply speaking, it's a moving sniper machinegun.

Ratis[RKKA]: For an 8th Tier premium machine 200mm armor piercing will suffice, plus there will be the bonus to invisibility for a low caliber gun. I guess it won’t be enough to destroy a Maus, but KT and IS-3 will be blowing up rather quickly.

GoHa.Ru: The armor of Jagdtiger seems a bit excessive for 8th Tier, if it’s left unchanged in premium AT. What do you think?

murgen[UNC]: It’s great armor for an 8th Tier machine, no need to reduce it, as it’s true to the historical parameters, however, it’s speed and maneuverability are likely to get hit… After all, it was a very slow machine in reality. Let’s wait for the testing.

Ratis[RKKA]: The armor is Jag’s constant problem. It’s not enough for a 9th Tier. But, for an 8th Tier it will be just so – 150mm forehead armor should suffice against 8th Tier guns. Invulnerable cabin is a nice addition.

GoHa.Ru: In the light of the upcoming company battle mode, that will introduce the champion division with the maximum available 8th Tier of vehicles, what do you think about the usability of setups consisting solely of premium machines?

murgen[UNC]: I think that companies consisting of mostly Lowe, KV-5 and IS-6 will be very popular as farm companies. Jagdtiger might find it’s place in farm companies as well, but it will depend on how far the developers go in nerfing it’s speed and maneuverability. Type-59 doesn’t look as good compared to the other options, but it will find it’s way in these companies too. All in all, there is a tendency of 8th Tier company battles being introduced together with the large quantities of 8th Tier premium tanks, I guess this type of company battles will become known as farm battles.

Ratis[RKKA]: It’s possible that there will be setups consisting of premium tanks, but, mostly of heavy tanks. If we’re considering ATs, then the ones from leveled branches are better.

GoHa.Ru: In all honesty, are you going to buy this machine yourself?

murgen[UNC]: No, I'd rather get Czechoslovakian SU-100, and as for the Jagdtiger, I'd prefer to level the ordinary one with normal weapons.

Ratis[RKKA]: I'm unlikely to buy it, not a fan of premium machines.
