World of Tanks - A'Hetzing We Will Go!

The Hetzer's still got it. Actually the Hetzer never lost it in the first place. What IS a "Hetzer" anyway?

As a German, I kinda disagree a bit with that translation of Hetzer. I know "baiting" comes up when you check for "Hetze", but I suggest you look up "hetzen", which would be the verb of it and you get things like: chivvy or hunt. To bait something is to lure as I understand it as a non-native speaker of English. But that's not what I think of, when I hear "hetzen" in German. I think of hunting something until it's out of stamina and basically submits to death.

[@gnaedigerfels]

As another german speaking lad I do agree

[@fricki1997]

I always thought "Chaser" would be the best translation for the Hetzer's name

[@Wolfeson28]

Would "harrier" be a better translation?

[@GhostsOfSparta]

German is a funny language. 😁

[@KellyMallory]

@@Wolfeson28 Only to a degree. "Hetzen" has for a good part the mening of "chase to death".

Baiter is technically a Proper Translation but really Not, a Hatz, the noun is today (and i believe Back in 1944) understood as a Chase/hunt but "evil"/aggressive... Its a very hard word to translate

Was going to say the same... in swedish the word is "hetsare" and more translated to agitator

There is the German word of "Hetzjagd" which translates to the English "hounding" where you use dogs to "hetzen" or "chase" deer or foxes to tire them and funnel them to a shooting zone where the hunters awaite them.

Beita in Icelandic means bait. You are using something (meat or fish meat on a hook) to catch a pray with.

[@therealkillerb7643]

When Jingles was talking about the meaning of the word "Hetzer" I kept hearing him saying, "Beta" rather than "Baiter." Seems the English, like their New England cousins, have a problem pronouncing the "r's" at the ends of words. This observation is of no interest to anyone, but it is early and I refused to go for the "master" joke as it was low hanging fruit. Speaking of low hanging fruit, I once saw an old man in a steam room...

[@kaltaron1284]

The funny thing IMHO is that this "pronunciation error" made it's way into the English loan words in Japanese. They don't end with an r (or rath ru) but with a long a,.Like customer = カスタマー/kasutamaa.

@DISPATCH MTB AND RC Luchs comes close but the general mediocrity of light tanks in WoT (at least at the time I played) meant it was best late game, I prefered the Hetzer just for the “get stuck in” factor

[@peterschreuder2600]

Old style T18 would disagree and Derp Sherman would also like a word. Would argue for KV-2 and SU-152 but can only take seal clubbing so far 😉

[@VerilyVerbatim]

[@1958PonyBoy]

I was at an air and military show and they had a M4 Sherman tank right next to a Hetzer TD. I noticed that the Hetzer was noticeably smaller in height, had thicker armor sloped at a better angle, and had a much more powerful shell than the M4. I can see how they were very dangerous.

[@ChrisParadise-wv5iz]

Seeing one of these parked next to Canadian armor at CFB Borden is pretty Cool. Love this machine

[@steeljawX]

I think WWII German Armor SME/researcher/author Hilary Doyle said something along the lines of that the term "Hetzer" wasn't used in the Wehrmacht to refer to just the refitted Pzkw. 38(t), but was used to refer to any vehicle that performed the role of "hetz-ing" well. I wanna say that that was either on one of the "Inside the Chieftains Hatch" videos or during the 2012 Operation Think Tank seminar. But this was just the most common well performing "hetzer" out of the group that it's believed that that's why the name ended up sticking. I could be misremembering the finer details, but I'm pretty sure Hilary Doyle said something along those lines of hetzer was a shared term rather than a specific name originally.

[@jmackmcneill]

I come here for the history lessons: a note on the kind of dogs you would use for badger and indeed bear "baiting" - low profile with heavy jaws and thus a powerful bite. As has been pointed out elsewhere in the comments, this obsolete english use of the word "bait", does not mean "lure, tempt" but rather "slowly wear down a powerful quarry with multiple sustained attacks" A tough, mean little dog with a nasty bite indeed!

[@remixedlife911]

Man. It has been a while since I last watched a video from you. Good show! Gonna pick up WoT now

[@davidlabedz2046]

Jingles, that was a great game for Salty Old Viking. Outstanding!!

[@billbrydon3725]

I had a similar experience getting my laptop screen repaired. Sent it in. Waited six or seven weeks. Called. Then suddenly it assigned to a tech, and then on its way home.

[@armandorodrigues144]

actually Jingles in a video from The_Chieftain he interviewed the curator of the German War Museum (can't recall how its called, could do a quick search but I'm too lazy for that) and he said there have evidence/documents that imply "Hetzer" was used for all of those late war cheap tank destroyer designs the theory is that the diference in doctrine from the older Stugs and Jagdpanzers IV was too significative and a new designation was needed for this new class of vehicles

[@larryfontenot9018]

The word hetzer has several possible translations. Baiter is just one of them. I've also seen it translated as chaser and bushwhacker. Sorry to disappoint Girls und Panzer fans, but the Jagdpanzer 38t was not built on a Pzkw 38t hull and that scene where they pull the top half off a 38t and drop a Jagdpanzer casement on it would have been impossible. The Germans took the 38t hull and made it longer and wider. Then they modified the suspension to handle the additional weight of more armor and a big gun and installed larger road wheels. After that, they put in a more powerful engine and a stronger gearbox. By the time they finished, the hull had gone through too many changes to be a Pzkw 38t anymore, although the driver's controls would probably have been recognizable to someone who'd served in one.

[@ut000bs]

I play World of Warships but I've never even downloaded WoT. I come for Jingles' commentary and to watch the game play. I work with a guy who is a retired Army master sergeant and 25-year armor veteran. He said WoT was nothing like real life, of course, but it's hella fun to play. He plays a lot.

[@mark_wotney9972]

Wouldn't it be neat if WG offered a replay mode where you could see all the players on both teams in the mini map? You could then watch the replay and see where that last tank hid.

[@Usmvalor3]

The famous Polish way of "Complaining at Your problems, till they go away" seem to work in Your's pc's case ^^

[@Arclite02]

Ah, the Hetzer... Holder of my 2nd highest ever kill count - 8 kills. And the only reason it wasn't significantly higher is that my team had another Hetzer on the other flank, who killed the remaining 7 tanks more or less at the same time as me! As for my highest kill count, that would be the time, just barely after launch, when the game glitched out hard and put my howitzer-armed Panzer III into an otherwise completely Tier 1 battle. Racked up 21 kills, that match...

[@tomyorke3412]

Watching this reminds me of the days when Jingles was known as Bohemian Eagle :3

[@TertiaryChrome]

Oh man, if only my 105mm howitzer reticle could have shrinked that fast back in the days....

[@FolgoreCZ]

Interesting. I always thought that the official designation was Jagdpanzer 38 (t). And that Panzerjäger 38 (t), that was made by converting LT-38 hulls, was that weird open-top contraption sometimes called Sd. Kfz 139 or Mader III. And that Hetzers, although using former LT-38's tooling and production capacities, was a vehicle made enitrely from scratch. But hey, Jingles said it and it's not common for Jingles to be wrong, is it. :-)

[@RedXlV]

Another bit of historical info about the Hetzer: its thin but heavily sloped armor design was inspired by the Romanian Mareșal tank destroyer.

[@Blastmaster1972]

It might not have been called the Hetzer, officially, but then again it also didn't have a 105mm howitzer.

[@MetalMachine131]

Hey, atleast the T28 had some sense, which made the ending more tense than just stomping noobs

Let this be a lesson. Data you care about should always be backed up, ideally twice. One local and one off-site. Saving things to an internal SSD and then a slower-but-bigger-and-cheaper external HDD is enough redundancy for most people, though.

Actually Jingles the jagdpanzer 38t shares almost no components with the pz 38t according to Nicholas Moran better known as The Chieftain its simply that the vehicles share some visual similarities because they were built by the same company

[@benlaskowski357]

I always believed "hetzer" meant 'scoundrel' or 'troublemaker'. But the Germans in this comment section, who obviously know more than I do, say it means 'rusher', 'chaser' or 'pursuer'.
