Really? The T-34/100 has a 5% critical rate and 15% penetration base and a better all around stats than the Panther II. She's a tougher, faster, cheaper more powerful Jagdtiger.

T-34/100 might have better stats but Panther II's Ace is a better skill. That's an opinion though. It feels more like Ace has a greater effect, due to working for 15 seconds and boosting all the relevant stats, as opposed to one hard hitting shot. I can usually get two rounds of Ace activation in a high level map.

What T-34/100 isn't is a "more powerful Jagdtiger". She's just a hard hitting medium. Having 50% base pen on the Jagdtiger is fantastic, it puts her 2nd among tier 5 TD's. Meaning, you can forgo worrying about putting a pen emblem on and focus on crits instead. 20 range/5 speed keeps her safe in the back, 3.8k durability puts her 3rd among all TD's. Nothing to rely on but nice for aura damage/a sneaky light.

Also, cats are better than foreheads.

As said by others, Ace is overall a better skill than Critical Shot. If there's only one enemy incoming (which is where CS shines), chances are your deathball is going to be rolling over the opposition anyways. Jagdtiger might have lower stats than T-34, but has better penetration and range, which are what you want on a tank built to one-shot stuff. Only time I can think of that CS > Ace is a rush tank charging your commander (either sneaking past deathball or before your deathball gets going), and JT will do the job just as well as T-34. Rather than saying T-34 is better than JT, I'd say it's a tradeoff of cost for range/penetration since they're both one-shotting anything that's not a heavy anyways.

All this being said, this is still arguing which is the worst member of the overall best class of tank in the game (mediums), a class where every single tank is perfectly viable.

OK, i do put Penetration emblem on my T34-100, and also a Crit rate emblem and a Crit damage emblem. What do you equip on your Jagdtiger? Because every other stat is better on a T34-100 by MUCH, and you dont need to stack more penetration as it would be a waste (provided the folmulae at wiki is to be trusted). I dont consider 3 range (20 vs 17) big enough to make any difference. Got the feeling my T34-100 would end up better at everything (not to mention cheaper) no matter what you equip on the JT, but thats just me, maybe?...

Also, i think ppl tend to overrate the ACE skill, just ask yourself the question: What ROLE do i assign my tank to? Do i want to tank with my Ace 5 Med? Sure, i can, but there are clearly superior options for a solid front line. Do i want to backline DPS? Then ACE just provides 50% damage for 15 sec -- not bad, but clearly any pure DPS skill is better than that - Valour, Autoloader, Rapidfire, and Critical Shot too (imho).

Ofc you can just throw a bunch of Ace Meds and watch them go on rampage, but thats hardly the best tactic out there

No argue with you on the cats part, bro =^.^= ... <3<3

I finally have 15 5* tanks, that event is somewhat good for me, i got t62m and is7 from that exchange and OI for logging, after collecting whole team of 5* i somehow feel there is no more reason to play till they make another event or maybe more story.

BTW do you guys think it will be possible for developers of Armor Blitz to add lets say 6* tanks which might be from Cold war period or modern?

Mtkut

I hope they do that! And 7-star Turbo-Laser Tanks!! xD

They do really need to come up with a reason to keep going once you have a full 5-star platoon. (and no, that "buy and have extra platoons" feature is just utterly useless). It just gets depressing when the only progression left is levelling up your tanks instead of getting new tanks.

JT is better at killing heavies, they both will likely one-shot the rushing evade tanks, and for survival and regular dps purposes T-34 is better. But they're from different tank types so this is expected.

Ace is great because all those pure dps skills you mentioned do nothing to make sure the tank survives to deal damage in the first place (all those skills rely on the tank being behind a heavy/dodge tank in order to get maximum benefit). Yes Valor is flat out at dealing damage, Autoloader and Rapidfire are better except against heavies possibly and Critical Shot is dependent on Attack Speed/Cooldown (300% 1-2 times vs. 150% for 15 seconds which is at least 6 shots and with Valor medals possibly 7 or 8). All of the above do nothing to ensure survival long enough to deal the damage (except CS which is upfront in its damage). Ace lets your tank both kill AND endure more than a medium should be able to (or heavy in the case of Chieftan)

@Tiamat: Get the rest of the 5* tanks, then The situation you describe is for whales like me who have EVERY 4-5* tank in the game

I already have every 5 star tank I want besides Leapard. At this point the rest would be downgrades.

*sigh* I envy you guys that you have more than 4 star Unit. Maybe I should scout with M Tank since it mention about raid more Currency which I need it to buy more Scouting Space.
