seriously, what's the point in getting the jagtiger now? it's so weak and unreliable there is no gain in getting one anymore.
I agree with most of the balance changes but this time not. with this change there is one strategical option less an strategical diversity got flattened.
80% of the shots missing is completely over-exaggerated, it was just unlucky RNG.
The acceleration- and mobility nerfs were more than deserved, you remember the old vet 2 JT with the upgrade? It was hilarious how that thing was able to escape flanking attacks on its own. (Lets not talk about vet 4 JT aka 70 tons Ferrari, lol)
The damage nerf was perfect imo, it got decreased from 320 to 300 only, means it still deals a lot damage vs tanks but doesnt 1- or 2- shot 95% of the allies tanks anymore without any support which -let's be honest- was really unfair and stupid for a tank that has such a long weapon range.
There is a reason why the old allies meta in the bigger team modes was basically just arty spam in order to erase the axis infantry --> win by map control and VPs, instead of mass-producing tanks and trying to flank the heavy tanks (cos that was kinda impossible* vs decent players and on certain maps; or required cheesy off-map strike spam which got nerfed in last patch)
*Usually, a JT is protected by tanks, AT guns, scouting units, snares and a lot of mines (from your teammate(s))
I think getting multiple Panthers or JP4s is better than getting JT now, but I also think JT is still necessary if the allies reach a critical amount of their lethal TDs (Firefly, Jackson, SU 85)
