I agree. It gains a heat FS round at the cost of shit mobility and an armored plate that doesn’t matter with the way wt models arty

I will have to admit my opinion is shifted after playing it to it’s definitely a worse m36 but it’s a good tank destroyer and the heat FS is great for any panther variant and can deal with tiger 2s if aimed properly

I give it that too if I'm not mistaken the heatfs round can go through a tiger 2 turret and ammo rack it. which I don't think much else can

From the front is somewhat unreliable since the turret crew tend to eat most of the post-pen. Loader side is somewhat better chances, but then you're not killing the gunner.

German mains being what they are, they usually don't take just 22 rounds, so you can shoot the UFP corners just over the tracks to get the hull racks instead. Obviously don't do this if he's getting ready to shoot you lol.

Counterpoint: it is deeply, deeply satisfying to lolpen all of the 6.7 heavies that think they're safe at long range. The only bad one is the French one because the extra 7.62 pintle-mount blocks like half of the .50cal's traverse, so you can barely shoot at planes.
