Warp103 lets play ♦ Ferdinand ♦ tree showcase road to JPe100

Draschel: That is what I said, mediocre. It isn't bad. Nor is it good for what it should be.  Gun traverse is good, but gun depression is hard to use because of giant size and rear-fighting compartment. This usually means cresting a hill anyway. Which means getting shot first, and probably having your engine module damaged too. While TS5 and T28 don't have its accuracy, their controllable dispersion and aim-time are superior, generally better qualities to have. ISU doesn't have accuracy or aim time, but hits for 750 while still having more DPM The armor sucks except the rear-fighting compartment, front hits frequently causing engine damage due to the drive wheels being in the front. Horrendous 80mm gaps even worse than ISU armor. Camo is a TDs best armor, and deadefedder fails terribly at it, T28 moving has more camo than it stationary. A TS5, the next lowest compared, has 50% more camo Its mobility sucks. The traverse sucks, its power to weight sucks, and its terrain coverage sucks. Competing with TS5 and T28 for mobility doesn't mean anything. WZ120G and ISU152 far outpace this thing in horsepower, terrain coverage, and top speed. While having better or same traverse, and camo to actually move with some sort of concealment.  The gun is alright, just has mediocre DPM for what it should be at. Only the british TDs and Kanon90/Jag 88, don't have a usable tier 10 gun in the tier. All others have the same base to work with, 240 AP pen, 300 premium. When all these TDs have the needed guns, it is more of what can be squeezed out of the gun at this point.  Ferdinand can't reasonably move to positions, because the camo is bad. It is very large too. It doesn't sport the armor like T28 or TS5, which have that armor and can thereby aim their shots longer. That game you played, you could have done in just about any tank destroyer. You didn't need the ferdinand to do it. All the drive time wasted, would not have been wasted with something even having a semblance of mobility. Yes it would have effected something also slow like T28 or TS5, but their DPM would have gained you probably more in the brief moments of firing, which constituted moving 100m from spawn/cap. That was just shooting bots, and a poor reloading object 268 at the end with 3 other targets to choose from (and shooting at him) Sniping is a terrible statistic to place your cards in. Sniping is unreliable. https://www.youtube....h?v=-KinBQwkZ8Y  The video is old, but the message still stands. Accuracy puts your right in the vice of RNG, and is entirely dependent of your foes being extremely stupid, as to not know where to go or understand positioning as to not leave themselves susceptible to a stationary TD hundreds of meters away just taking pot-shots at them. You drive from 6:40 to 9:10, 2:30min of nothingness? Imagine if you were in something with at least 40 top speed, not a boat that takes 20 seconds to get to 30, then red-lines. Mobility, camo and bush mechanics  (which ferdinand sucks at because its big, slow reverse)  alpha and/or DPM, flexibility - these are what people want. That is why SU130PM, Skorp, S1, charioteer, WZ120G, Rhm are far more popular. Most of them are fast, most have a turret Not sure how you can't see all that.
