I'd rather see the current plane updated for better textures.  Then worry about adding useless vehicles such as the elefant.

Yeah with a low total of production I give it a +1 but seeing as the frontal armour and gun is what it is as well as total production we might be doing good on a 300-475 perk price.

The Ferdinand (Elefant) was a dedicated tank-destroyer, IIRC. This would bring a new vehicle class in to the game. +1

(and the Best looking tank destroyer their ever was)
:huh
The thing was a box with a gun.  Nothing good looking about it.


At least the Jagdtiger and Jagdpanther had a sloped armor, which gives a bit of eye appeal.

That's why it was called a tank destroyer. Sat way behind the battle and picked off other tanks.
then whats my M-18 spikes? :D


the definition of a TD is a vehicle designed solely to DESTROY TANKS. turret or no turret.

tell me what the jagdpanther could do that the elefant couldnt?
tell me what the jagdtiger could do that the elefant couldnt?
does the jagdpanther have a kill to death ratio of 10:1, during the battle of kursk Ferdinands killed 320 soviet tanks for loosing 13 Ferdinands,  no other tank could beat it, it was infantry and mechanical problems  that were its main enemy

Infantry could beat it all they had to do was get a flame thrower/moltov cocktail and let it burn.

I ment at kursk again, I have said that it is not the best and has its short comings, thats why I think it should be added, because we dont need another german super tank,
and 911, did you even read that post, I said infantry was its main threat, and the Elefant addressed the ferdinands problems but adding Zimmerit and a hull MG34
