New Age Santa Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I haven't yet recieved the game so I was wondering...will JagdTigers be available!! BWUAHAHAHHAHA! I want to command those mobile pill boxes!! Yes I know, only 100 or so were made but I'd like to command some of those beasts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty's Double Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Ah, misguided youth...they certainly are in the force lists, but I guarantee you won't use them for long. Hideously slow, poor ROF and a gun which is frankly overkill on any Allied AFV. Oh yes, and the ability to get bogged on a dry road. There's nothing sadder than a bogged uberkitty. Still, it's your war, have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 You'll be even more excited when someone punches a "T" round through you're supposedly invicincible superstructure front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Age Santa Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 Holy crap! The front can be penetrated by tungsten rounds?!?! F&*%^&%&^ I read somewhere that the JagdTiger was impervious to most of the allied equipment, AT's included. The source could have been faulty. I just wanted to command one of those big sonsabitches as a sort of semi-defensive mobile structure. You know, for massive overkill on Allied armor =P I guess if I want really effective anti-tank units I had better stick to Hetzers, Nashorns, and the standard AT guns eh?

Spookster Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Most CM games are played on small battle fields, removing many of the relative advantages of the JT. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Yup, anything carrying a 17 pounder or 90mm that has T rounds can ruin your day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Nothing makes me happier than watching some guy's 300pt ubertoy roll over my 15pt AT minefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen-x87H Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 JTs are fun but keep them at a distance. I have yet to actually lose one to anything allied. They do get bogged down so forget moving them off paved roads if the ground is wet. I never use them in QBs because they cost so damn much and the Panther fits the job just fine. Hetzer is a good AT vehicle. But of course if you are going to kill tanks the AT guns are the most effective and cost efficient. 85 point 88mm Flak gun can whack most of the allied armor. And well the Pak43 can kill anything. But it is always fun to use the JT every once in awhile to just beat targets into submission. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Saunders Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I recently played a QB with a single JT versus a Polish motorized infanty battalion. It was an allied attack type scenario. The JT came away with a marginal Axis victory. It just rolled over them. [ 07-18-2001: Message edited by: Sergeant Saunders ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
