The Good
- Accurate & devastating Rheinmetall gun (tier IX, 12.8cm)
- Mobile with a high top speed
- Uses those qualities to flank and relocate, making a real game changer
The Bad
- Low signal range
- Can struggle against tier X (best to be a support TD in those cases)
The Ugly
- Slow reload, lower rate of damage per minute
|
Reasons to Buy
- You dig TDs that move with the best of them
- An accurate German gun on a Panther chassis is a great combo
- Penetrating gun
- Looks cool!
Reasons Not to Buy
- You want a more brawl-worthy tank destroyer (try the 8,8cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger)
- You prefer something TD-ish, but with a tougher turret (go for the T34 Heavy)
