Good god in the foothills! HTC released a new version a mere one day after a preview!!
Hetzer
Jagdpanzer IV L/70
Jagdpanther
Yak-7B
Yak-3 (Shoulda been a Yak-9M :bhead)
-
Yak 3 is sweet :aok
-
Unfortunately at least the Hetzer, but probably also the other Jagdpanzer have the wrong gunsight
Being a tank destroyer, the hetzer carried the Sfl.ZF 1a sight with a 5x magnification
The Aces High Hetzer has the same 2.4 magnification level as the Panzer IV (TZF 5f/1)
Which IMHO is nerfing the vehicle quite a bit.

Yak-9T got a 20mm. So we now have a Yak-9M as well!!
Jagdpanther also has the incorrect gunsight. Standard 2.5/5x as the Tiger II. Surprised HTC didn't catch this.
-
Want to sneak out of work early and go play with the new toys. :bhead

Just checked them out, all three new Jagdpanzer have the incorrect tanks.
Instead of beign modeled with their appropriate Sfl.ZF gunsight which were carried by assault guns and tank destroyers, they just have the same sight as the other tanks carrying the respective gun in game.
The Hetzer and the IV/70 carried a fixed 5x magnification Sfl.ZF 1a, in game the Hetzer has the same 2.4x fixed sight as the Panzer IV H and the IV/70 the 2.5x/5x variable sight of the Panther
The Jagdpanther had a fixed 10x gunsight while in game it uses 2.5x/5x variable sight as well
While it doesn't matter that much for the IV/70 (just inaccurate), it's a huge handicap for the Hetzer.

excellent update. I'm sure the tank kilers will get their magnification corrected quickly.

i thought you rage quit a couple of weeks back...not that i wished that but...ya know when you rage quit in public then continue trolling the forums, it's a bit, well, ya know.
-
Wow very fast update! :aok
Thanks HTC. :salute
-
Already informed Pyro of the inaccuracies, and of several bugs in the new GV's. Hopefully this will be redressed quickly.
Lusche, do you have any sources, so that we could send them to Pyro?

I've been rage quitting this game on a regular basis since 1999. go play the game update scrub.

Now for my impressions.
Hetzer; Love it, would be better with more zoom. Front armor is VERY effective, traverse is annoying, causing a delay in engagement, but has not affected the outcome of any engagements for me thus far.
Jagdpanzer IV; again, love it. Gunsight is bugged, but I still got 2 kills before being force to RTB. Cannot look around from the commander's position, very annoying.
Jagdpanther; have yet to try it, felt informing Pyro took precedence.
Yaks; :headscratch:

It is an easy way for a new player to get their name in lights!
Wish this feature was put into a list that was under the CV selection tab. Just hold a list of 15 names that last turned each boat.
This would stop the spam and still give the info for those who want it.

Didn't see anything about the disco relaunch being turned on or fixed :(

Clogs the country channel quite nicely.

HT updated more than the cockpits of the existing Yaks, I believe.

Wasn't there like 5-pages of discussion/speculation over this issue when they first gave us the preview for these new TDs?
Hopefuly not a difficult fix, but strange...
Doh, I'll update the sight magnification and field of view in the next patch.
Ah hah!, there's your problem.

AH HAH!!!,.... :aok

My pants... Changing, they need.
New Yak looks gorgeous, can't wait to try it out tonight.
Interesting timing too, the Yak fever was seeded (again) this weekend at our hangar. We just heard from our buddies looking through our Yak3's Allison, the one that for years has had oil pressure problems and hasn't been flying (high-pressure readings here, low pressure readings there). Turns out the crankshaft was bent (and had never seen any metal in the oil previously to indicate this, but the crank is bent and the bearings deformed). The details are buried within a long story (someone had a friend who knew a friend, who...), but this is finally progress with our Yak, and since now we know what the problem was (and now with some certanty that the last overhaul wasn't even done half-arsedly but fully) we're gonna have to tighten our belts but will get it overhauled (again, properly) and hopefuly in a couple months be flying it again.

Dora (wipes tears from eyes) radiator fixed.....
Bless you! Presuming it works well I wanna send some cheap Tennessee white whiskey to Grapevine.
:salute
Boo

Thank you for the new tanks !!!
:salute

No more tryinf to figure out who makes the cv path look like someone giving the bird :banana:
-
My only issue is that the Jagdpanzer seems perked a bit high. Same price as the Firefly, which has a turret, more ammo, superior long range penetration, better magnification, and an AA mg.
Jagdpanther will be worth it's perk price once it gets 10x zoom.
-
Thank you for fixing the 152 radiator HTC. :cheers:
-
Kool stuff!!
Thanks HTC!
-
yeeee haaaaa :aok
Installing now.
how much you want to bet that the first bullet that comes at me is a Rad hit? LMAO

Thank you for fixing the 152 radiator HTC. :cheers:
with my dora, and your 152, we shall conquer all :t

I played a little earlier with the new tanks, the jagdpanther I could not afford so I can't speak to their lethality. I was trying to kill one though and I will say that it is a tough nut to crack. The M-18 will be the biggest threat to them because of their speed and firepower.
I drove both of the jagdpanzers and they fell victim to the jagdpanther very quickly. They did manage to hold their own though and the jagdpanzer 38 T proved to be a very tough target at any distance greater than 1k, moving or not.
I see these tanks being popular for base defense but after about a week seeing them in tank town like areas will be a bit of a rarity.

Yay! It works again!
