Ill drop some IMPORTANT stats for the new hetzer for those that dont really want to mess with or confuse themselves with the attrib editor/archive viewer
HP: 560
Front armor:180(Ostheer panzer IV Has 180 as well)
Flamer Range: 32
Flamer is very similar to the wasp and other mobile flamethrowers except this thing comes at 8cp and costs 100 fuel while being on tracked-paper
Speed:5.5(Same as JP4)
Target size is 15(for a comparison,the kubel is 14) Making it,pretty hard to hit actually.
Rotation Rate:30(vet 0 JP4 has 20)
Same accel/decel as Jagdpanzer 4
The top mounted MG is as powerful as the kubelwagons MG34(Literally a direct copy to the kubel MG) thats NOT on supress-mode.
In other words the top mounted mg is really weak. and shitty. DONT buy it. It IS a waste of munitions!
Pershing using its special ability has almost 350+ Penetration,with the old 240 damage that the old jackson had,making it perfect for a finish killshot
When using this ability,the reload time isnt reset(which basically allows two shots in quick succession)
Pershing is only .6 slower than a Panther,and more armored than a Comet.
Rangers have 0.80 received accuracy at vet 0,and 0.56 total received accuracy at vet 3,making them one of the most durable squads in the game,only challenged by vet 5 STG obers/fallschrimjager
vet 3Riflemen: 0.59
vet 3Conscripts: 0.65
vet 5Sturms: 0.43
vet 3 IS/Royal Engineers: 0.528
vet 3Heavy Engineers: 0.528
vet 5Fallsch: 0.55
vet 5JLI: 0.40
vet 5Obers: 0.35
vet 3 pershing reloads in under 3 seconds
Ranger thompsons and carbines are the same as Paratrooper thompsons and carbines without tactical assault
Rangers DONT have armor,rangers ARENT any more resilient to grenades
I found it very meh vs infantry, very good vs mediums and average vs other heavies(haven't had the chance or the balls to try circle strafing much, I tried once and the enemy just rotated the whole tank to keep up with my Pershing, not to mention it happened in Garbage time after we already won)
The real question is how does the flame hetzer compare to the Wasp, halftrack or KV8 now that incendiary damage across the board was reduced.
well its more than beyond trash compared to all of those regardless of stats
since
-it comes late,unlike the wasp/ht's
-its not that well armored/beefy,like the KV8
NOR is it cheap at 100 fucking OKW fuel.
Disaster of a unit. Might as well have a random chance of exploding when it fires.
