Do you have any counted numbers for your test?

I do now! Turns out it was pretty much as I suspected.

This has always felt like a distinct problem with the Jagdpanzer IV, and after seeing it a few times in streams recently it has been on my mind again.

When tank destroyers (TDs) rotate to target an enemy tank they have a tendency to shoot before they have finished turning. This seems to coincide with a high miss rate that makes it look like they must have a moving penalty being applied that a stationary turreted tank would not have.

I did some tests in CheatMod with an SU85 and JPIV. I always had the bias that the JPIV was far more heavily affected by this issue, but surprisingly it seemed pretty even from an anecdotal perspective. Both tanks distinctly shoot before they finish rotating and often miss.

I'm curious as to whether increasing general TD aim time by 300 milliseconds or so (and reducing cooldown/reload time accordingly) would help to resolve this issue and allow TDs to perform more consistently in their role.

If the enemy tank was close enough to make the TD keep rotating, the moving penalty would probably still appropriately apply.

Anyone with modding knowledge able to comment on whether or not this makes any sense?

A bit of a pride post since I rarely win top 100 games, but I hopefully earned it.

Featuring:

• Possibly the most squad wipes I've ever achieved. But it still never quite seemed to be enough.
  
• The M20 that just wouldn't die, or so I thought. I suspect his intense focus on vehicle micro is what enabled me to get the infantry wipes.
  
• A bit of cheeky base diving.
  
• No bugs!
  

I strongly recommend making sure you have the latest official drivers for your network adapter. Windows 10 generic drivers can have all sorts of weird bugs. You can find the details of what network adapter you have in Device Manager if you want some help locating the best drivers.

Another possibility is that your ISP has some poor international routing (sometimes they switch to low cost routes outside of peak hours). A VPN free trial may help your traffic travel via a different route and tell if the issue is with your ISP rather than your router. This is particularly relevant right now given the heavy loads that many Internet providers are currently under.

Failing all of that, what make and model are your routers?

Are you able to test a different Internet connection? A phone hotspot or 4G dongle, for example?
