The Jagdtiger does have the added benefit of being able to be surrounded by cloaked ATGs, which can really make the Allied team take a miscalculated dive unless they are using recon planes. Panzerfusiliers AT grenade is slow, but with vet2 it's also by far the longest range snare in the game (about 25 range) so you'll always have a good chance to tag a tank as it drives along.
And their flares have really good synergy with the Jagdtiger, although it costs a lot of munitions.
Good points, especially the flares. I would still prefer scopes and reconnaissance flight, since scopes give you a permanent sight bonus (scoped 222 is still very fine) and reconnaissance flights would uncloak the parts of the map you cannot spot via scopes. If you use flares however it gives you the chance to shoot only once with Jagdtiger before your enemy relocates his armour (assuming decent reaction times).
[...] how to synergize with things like spotting scopes, brummbar, and the OKW units for instance. [...]
The synergy with spotting scopes and reconnaissance overflight that come with the same doctrine as the Elephant itself has always made it a strong choice. Spotting of armour to shoot it down and to react to flanks preemptively are crucial to keep your Elephant a worthy investement as well as alive.
Jagdtiger does only offer Panzerfusiliers as another plus. Those can become killing machines at high veterancy levels. However, they do not contribute to enhance the AT capabilities or efficiency of the Jagdtiger itself... if you count their weird AT nades out that trigger way too slow to prevent mediums from encircling your Jagdtiger.
In all of my games I have never seen a reason to choose Ostwind instead of PIV (1v1 games) or instead of rushing T4 (2v2 games). The only reason to really build an Ostwind is to swiftly get rid of planes in case your enemy spams them. Even then one 222 and some pintle mounted MG42s were enough in 1v1 games or 222 + Flak HT from OKW ally in 2v2 games.
Posts were invised due to excessive flaming. If you have to make a point then do not abuse it to spit fire against other users. Insults are really not necessary if you want to discuss properly.
May we continue this thread without remarks insulting a whole ethnic group, please? Individuals within an ethnic group vary greatly in terms of character and behaviour, thus general assumptions about such groups are not very wise.
As a summary from what I have heard and read about this game I can surely tell this looks like a failed experiment. Even a pretty poorly designed experiment that seems to have been released too early. The only positive thing might be the late game, once you have reached awesome gear status. Nevertheless disappointing overall for AAA game studio and publisher like Bethesda.
To top it all off, IGN gave this game a solid 5/10.
