German tank destroyers, quick first impression
« on: July 18, 2013, 01:28:45 AM »
I love the Hetzer more than I thought I would, perk farmer deluxe. Only played the jadgepanzer IV 2 quick sorties and was just as happy with it. Found places to hide my back end and waited for tanks to roll through narrow passes. Can't wait to play these more over the weekend.

Hetzer has proven quite a bit of fun in the very short time I used it.  It sits so very low that for a good MAJORITY of my time, no one could figure where I was at until it was too late. :t

Love 'em.

The commander position should have the same HUD as tanks do, though - set speed, actual speed, compass direction, ammo, and the aiming circle. I can't see any reason for the tanks to have this and not TDs. Likewise the ability to fire the main gun from the commander's position - all of these vehicles had separate commanders and gunners, just like all the tanks represented in the game did, so it makes sense to have the same capability. In any of them what it basically represents is the commander shouting "Fire!" into his intercom and the gunner doing the firing. I can see not having the traverse of the gun represented from the commander's view since he'd have no way to tell it other than eyeballing it like the player does.

Hetzer is awesome the JadgPanzer4/70 was fun as well although I had a nasty time of not killing panzers at 3400yds with it which I find odd cause it has same gun as the panther and I can kill panzer4s out to 3600yds with one shot all day long idk all in all I love these too have not tried the JadgPanther but it looks cool as well

I'm not sure what the multipler was at the time but the Hetzer was eny 35, Jadgepanzer IV was 4-5 perks and Jadgepanther was 30 perks.
