He is the fastest shot in town until you slap him gently and he will go cry in the corner.

This tank is obsolete despite the recent buffs and it's not worth the money.

long, long, loooooooooooooooong time ago it was a fun tank, now its garbage. I still have it and take it for a ride every 6 months or so, just to try again, and boy, it gets worse everytime.. Stay as far away as possible from this brick.

One recommendation: if you don't have the tank, do not buy it :) it's garbage

Turretless TD, slow moving <snip>

All of the above. It has awesome DPM. But... It has nothing else... A turretless, slow tank with no penetration and does not even have useable armor. It has pref mm to make up for it's garbage but even a tier 8 enemy is too much for this tank. This thing along with all other slow turretless tanks (assuming no awesome camo like E25) are meh at best. And this tank is not even meh, it's garbage.

 

Often can't pen enemy hull so nevermind attempting to pen enemy turrets in 'fast-hilly-turret-meta'. Tank would have been okayish in old maps without all the hills.

Frontal plate is about 195 effective armor (not enough on these tiers since enemies shoot with 220-320pen). As toptier this tank is okayish as long as you have allies near you to prevent them from bumrushing you because even a single fast tier6 stock tank can kill you if you are alone. These lower tiers are usually fast enough so yeah, you are basically never a great tank.

Pay2lose tank.

 

Owyeah one more thing: This is one of those tanks that I want to trade damage with in a Skorp G or a Crysler or etc. because JagdTiger88 has no alpha and it's pen is too low to pen heavies reliably, especially the Crysler K is a massive problem for this tank to pen.

Too bad Scorpion can change its position 3 times before you even move for 45 deg...

cobra6, just noticed only 16,5 k battles? you are so famous  here I thought previously you had 165 k battles :)

No unfortunately I'm not a student, unemployed or a streamer so 165K battles is totally out of the question for me, time constraints. :D

I think the fame is possibly associated with always making an apperance in the forums, having a youtube channel and clearly being a knowledgable player. He's currently got more posts than games played which is pretty impressive!

 

admin: also delete this if necessary

 

Well, I also did play 8-9K battles in CBT but yeah, I spend more time on the forums nowadays then playing because I can actually post at work but not game ;)

Wait a minute, didn't preferential matchmaking vehicles ruin the game? Are you deliberately ruining the game now by selling it?

Sorry I meant against, not in. So I want to trade damage AGAINST a jagd88. Not the other way around :P. It's DPM is pointless unless you are standing out in the open because it has no turret/speed to chase you so you will win with superior alpha and turret and elevation and etc.

The updated graphics totally destroyed this tanks frontal armour back in the day, and that is where it still is.

Right, buy the now useless and outdated german gunslinger. Only get it if you want to:

 

  • struggle and fail to pen heavily armored tanks
  • rage quit after getting your frontal superstructure penetrated with ease by gold ammo
  • get circled to hell by light tanks and the new released wheelies
  • ...

 

 

 

I agree with them all... Luckily I traded it for w/e and got happy again...

cowboy on a dead horse))

slow moving, slow turning and with very high terrain resistance.

has no chances against wheeled rats))

 

also wg added Jagdtiger8.8 to the list of new referral program prizes, so it must be super unpopular now if it is given for free to new players))

This tank isn't complete trash,it's just extremely situational. I always do love when I do perma-track someone with it.

Requires a mobility buff asap.

Not a chance.

True but i hit a couple of shots against wheelies in frontline at close range (they must've been gimp players though)

View PostCobra6, on 27 March 2019 - 07:11 AM, said:

This thing *REALLY* needs the fully upgraded Tier 9 Jagdtiger mobility to be competitive.

 

It could be such a good and fun vehicle if only it wasn't so artificially handicapped.

This ^, you can't turn / relocate quickly enough, (especially in randoms) not really worth the money any more

 

it's dpm is brilliant, (with vents, rammer, bia), but still... i would advise against it

now

if only it had a Turret

had 226 pen Gun

and wasn't the size of a Barn Door

and did 50kph …. 

 

that would be a 'versatile can fire back when tracked continuedly'  Medium tank then

Even after buff this TD can not penetrate dead frog. It should be called goldspamer.
