Wouldn't the JagPanther be a better choice as opposed to the Elephant?

That is half of what a tank does.

1. Protect the base 50%
2. Attack another base 50%

And it did now lets see what were the average k/d results of a tiger that went to attack a base, and what was the k/d ratio on thos defending.

I said A TANK (Broad spectrum) not A TIGER (specific type), people. And 50% isn't an exact ratio... Why so serious?

Er....um...methinks the Elefant had no turret.   To aim the gun the vehicle had to be  turned.

That is why most pics show them destroyed....slow, no turret to aim gun, lousy in close quarters such as villages and towns,

and mechanically a pain in the arse.

Eliminating mechanical issues has been customary in this game.  With that said, it would be neat to see it added down the road.  +1

That's why it was called a tank destroyer. Sat way behind the battle and picked off other tanks.

Which is nothing to write home about and the same goes for the Elefant.   The only highlight from WWII, was of an Elefant knocking out a T-34 from a distance of almost 4.5km.

I think you mistake me for someone who thinks the Elefant is better then it was, I am aware of its short comings, I just think it is a cool vehicle (and the Best looking tank destroyer their ever was) and think it would be neat to have in the game one day  :aok
