What will the perk cost be for this tank?

[Mano]

It has the gun of a Tiger II with a low profile and angled front armor. It will be really tough to kill from the front with a medium armor tank.
If this tank is on a hill or in a large clearing it will be tough to get to his flank or six.

I'm guessing between 75 and 100 perks when the ENY is 1.0.

[Tank-Ace]

25-50 perks, unless I miss my guess.

The Tiger II is only 100 perks, and it has an extra 100mm of armor at LOS thickness, it has a turret, and more ammunition, and more side and top armor.

The lack of a turret is a big hindrance, since its a lot easier to get shot in the side.

Wonder what the commanders view will be like?    Movable, limited movement, or stationary?

[Butcher]

This tank will easily be 50+ perks, given the gun which can kill any tank in game - and outstanding armor - without a turret? It only loses 25 perks or so.

i would imagine 360, but will the tank pivot if the engine is on?

[pipz]

Wow I may start tankin now 

[bustr]

I'm not a tanker and Waystin will attest to how much I hate tanks.

But, the evolution of our tank game is still fascinating.

Can this audience help me understand tactically how you will use these potent weapons differently than regular tanks with movable turrets? I've never been able to survive in a tank against other tanks unless I spend an hour creeping 100 yards, stopping every yard, and scanning everything on full zoom. Then I still get nailed by someone hiding just behind a berm 3k or so away.

That is mainly due to the lack of more dynamic spawn points bustr, the hard-core tankers around here know the spots and where to look and shoot. If you spend a bit of time running around in jeep or a storch and find the right spots you might do better, conversely you can just copy the spots of successful tankers.

we don't have to many buildings and bush's/hedge rows you can hide in, behind or shoot through. When i did play WOT i would place myself some where were i could ambush tanks rolling down narrow areas without exposing my side or rear. I wouldn't run to the front line of a fight and find a nice camping spot, enjoy yourself and wait to be bombed.

Alot of players forget that it's important to rotate your tanks front armor to point at your enemy

I bet the WOT lads who venture over here wont forget that.

[Debrody]

Cheaper than the regular tanks using the same weapon.
Jagdpanther, my tip would be on the 50, like 5 for the Jagdpanzer, and eny30 for the Hetzer.

[gyrene81]

gonna be some serious spawn camping going on. should be easy cannon fodder for some of the tank killer birds. pivoting is going to be slow and ugly...

[Volron]

I'd say the Jadgpanther sits around 30-50 perks with an eny 5.  The Jadgpanzer round half of the Panther (I've already forgotten it's perk price) and eny same as Panther (5?).  The Hetzer would be eny 30-ish.

we should go tanking together, you just described a tank sortie for me.
