Jagdtiger Prototype - Tank Review - World of Tanks

It felt amazing to see you balancing this BZ176 platoon out of the game

honestly it was. good players with good tanks in a platoon rocking at least 70% wr in their session meeting a Jagdtiger and getting balanced is so satisfying

[@1stJohn_3_16]

And how! I hate seeing platoons of BZ-176s. There really needs to be a system in the game that doesn’t let players platoon in OP tanks like those. Or at least, they can’t BOTH be using them.

Remember when they released the KanJPz 105? They released it with the possibility of trading the existing KanJPz (90 mm gun) with the new one. This is what that feels like, but without the possibility of trading the old Jagdtiger 8,8 for the Jagdtiger Pr and just putting it in boxes.

@@luke_angelo You could get those results in any tank you want. I’m just pointing out a good game.

[@Riku148]

I would place Vipera slightly above JT, Kari about equal and Turtle on top obviously. Skorpion and SU are totally different type of tanks. What makes JT great is that you can play it as both assault and support td. Kari has too little health to be great at brawling while Turtle and Vipera are not good snipers. JT is also a really good credit maker with a great standard shell. It’s also rare to have a premium assault td with relatively high alpha.

Honestly hope that I can get this one, because unlike the TIII or the recent reward TD, this one actually fits my Jagdtiger crew (and Jg Pz E 100, to some extent) perfectly. If it's anything like the Ferdinand, I'll definitely enjoy it 😁

[@Panzergraf]

Correction QB: The JT, as many other German tanks, has a front mounted transmission, NOT an engine. While transmission damage counts as engine damage for the purposes of losing engine power, it will never set you on fire. There's a 0% chance of fire, unless you actually get shot in the engine (which is in the rear) or fuel tanks (also in the rear). Preventative maintenance is nice, but not super important.

[@xrhstosark8513]

So instead fixing Ferdinand they just feed us with another premium

Years ago, the Jagdtiger used to have fearsome armor at tier 9. Now the exact same armor profile is barely good enough to work at tier 8...

[@marty2129]

Now... this looks like the tech-tree Jagdtiger is also a vehicle that shoud have been a tier lower than it is, and now it is boosted to be a tier IX only by stats and a gun which it wouldn't be able to physically mount IRL. Another line that should have had some vehicles shuffled down, with Ferdi losing the ugly 128mm (and maybe gaining the long 105mm to differentiate it from Jagdpanther) and dropping as alternate tier VII, Jagdtiger losing the long 128mm and having the shorter 128mm as a top gun, and a new tier IX with long 128 and 150mm gun options (a "long-superstructure Jagdtiger", something on E-50 or E-75 chassis, or a 128mm/150mm variant of StuG E-100)...

This was the only thing in the loot boxes I really wanted.

[@1stJohn_3_16]

I was lucky and got the Jägtiger Prototype with my first 5 keys last night. I LOVE this style of gameplay. Just bully your opponents into submission with a massive gun and trollishly thick armour. This tank is not meant to be played like a filthy camper. It is, like QB said, a turretless heavy tank. And it just looooves hugs. My first game with it was a resounding victory on Live Oaks. I took the town with a lower tier heavy, another TD and a med. we fought off a couple OP premium heavies and a few other TDs. I used the JtPt to hug a 705 II to death and completely harass a Vipera. Scared a Ka-Ri back to base along with a Skorp G and proceeded to farm them. All in all, I’d say this may be my new favourite tier 8 TD. I simply adore the Jägtiger Prototype. The Jägtiger 8.8 is fun. I love taking that tank out onto the battlefield but THIS version of it can trade and it trades hard! I’ve found also, at least on the NA server, that most people are scared to death of it. It’s incredibly easy to fluster players with this tank. Then they just become easy pickings. Great tank review, QB! Thanks again for more of your fun content! But personally, I don’t think you did this tank justice. You made it look a little weak. I don’t know. It looked like in the battles that you showed us that you were holding back a lot more than you typically would do. But I guess we’ve all still got to get a real feel for this thing. Who knows? Maybe once more people start playing the Jtiger Proto and learning how to fight it I’ll hate it and start playing it more passively as well. 😁 Best of luck to y’all on the battlefield! Stay safe, everybody!

[@henkgeenreetaan1374]

When more people play then a lot of gold will be used against this td and its armor does not hold up vs gold ammo. So it is a slow Swiss cheese with a low dpm gun .

[@1stJohn_3_16]

@@henkgeenreetaan1374 it’s surprisingly not as slow as you would think it should be. It’s gun does have low DPM compared to a lot of other tanks but the alpha damage and upper structure armour makes it so that other tanks don’t really want to trade with you. But like you said. Once people start loading gold it does become a problem. This tank will become very situational once it’s been in the game for a while longer.

[@teamtrouble2003]

We've had this in Blitz for a good while now. They integrate the jadgtiger 8.8 and you have an optional tier 9 gun.

[@Galardomond]

Game 1: four minutes of tanks sitting at a corner. Still years later, I can not understand why you would nerf he. Scratch that. I know why. They want to bleed credits with gold amo, to sell you premium...

[@Frodo_swagginsX]

"25mm of flap armour" is my new favourite QB quote

[@baohungle5410]

This tank is one of those that can be consistent. It's far from an OP tank, but it's actual a pretty strong one that provides good amount of tools for you to do the job. Armor to use in a good matchup, a full-TD gun to smack the hell out of everyone, enough mobility to be where you need to be, and on top of that, it has good amount of HP. In my honest opinion, this tank is quite well designed for the current meta, it has enough of overall flexibility to be consistent, unlike the Turtle that is always in need of good matchups. This thing can smack the hell out of even tier 10s while the Turtle is nothing more than a meatball when you meet someone who can pen its superstructure.

This chassis is a lot better at tier 8, that's for certain. This tank looks like a slightly better Ferdinand, albeit with a smaller gun arc.

[@vvav]

This tank is probably fine for farming credits in random battles, but it doesn't seem remotely competitive with the top t8 premiums. Tanks like this would be a lot more exciting if not for mistakes WG made in the past with their balance decisions.

[@SpectreHD]

I agree. May I ask what mistakes WG made in your opinion. For me, it is WG making armour a balanceable stat while not doing anything with premium ammo. As a result, armour is buffed to make it resistant to normal ammo (despite being buffed to deal with premium ammo) but still useless against premium ammo. Others would be too scared to nerf over performing premium tanks or on the other hand take too long to buff weak tanks. On the flip side buffing tanks means increasing power creep so would leave tanks not buffed weak that would need to be buffed.

[@redclaytanto]

​@@SpectreHD personally I wish WG would grow some balls and brains already and start nerfing premiums. None of these changes mean anything while the overpowered premiums are free to ruin the game without fear of being balanced. We don't own the tanks. They are free to nerf when they please. They just have to be smart enough to do it.

[@clarkdevan]

Whelp I bought 200 engineer starters for about $160. So I was guaranteed at least 4 of the premium vehicles. However, I received 9! Yes that's right 9!! And what was amazing was I received 3 in a row. Yep back to back to back rolls revealed 3 premium vehicles. Then I had used enough re-rolls to guarantee myself another, as one revealed itself on the 11th click. I needed the Jag Pro, 274a, Jager, Obj. 283, T54, K-2 and M-IV-Y. So at least this time I'm not too upset with wargaming seeing as I also got about 25k more gold and 10m more credits among all the other goodies. Needless to say, that was well worth the investment. Now to try and get some marks on the Obj. 283 while it's still relatively new. NC, USA
