Draschel: Jag panther IIWhile it does not have the protection, Ferdinand's protection is an illusion, that just doesn't work unless your enemies are auto-aiming tier sixes/sevens. In this case, Jag Panther II armor is likely to work too. The HP difference is large, but I said that was one of Ferdinands' strong arguments, trading HP whenever it can. Jag Panther II offers so much more in mobility, while retaining the same gun and firepower. SU101SU101 definitely lacks the HP, alpha damage, DPM  -  but if you were to play a tank for decent armor SU101 armor is much more reliable. You can 'USE' the armor better too, because great mobility. Armor in the metagame, isn't just to be a thick slab to serve as a punching bag. You need to deploy your armor well, and get there quickly to do so. Which is why fast armoured tanks like object 268 V 4, IS7, 430U are so popular. In addition, adding to your protection would be good camo, nearly 2x better than Ferdinand. T28 T28 lacks Ferdinand top speed, but has better pivot, better horsepower, crosses bad terrain better.  I value these things more importantly, than simply +8 more km/hr. If I were to go putt putt at 30km, would it be necessarily worse to be at 22, if my traverse, acceleration, terrain coverage were all better? In addition, T28 has more reliable armor, stronger camo values, the HP to match, better DPM, and while it misses its accuracy does have better gun handling. T28-ProtoPrototype is everything Ferdinand is essentially, but better. While it does not make it good, that is not what is being discussed, being better than Ferdinand is the point. More relaible armor, flexibility in a turret, gun depression, and view range all make this thing far more useful, and just about a replacement for a real heavy tank. Which Ferdinand fails at Charioteer Charioteer is the poor man skorpion or SU130PM, and can even compete with them, technically. Arguably the best tech tree tier 8 TD, if it were a premium it would be widely popular too, just like Skorp and SU130PM. A fully rotating turret, good gun depression, great mobility, good camo. RhmRunner up for arguably the best tier 8 tech tree TD, Rhm again presents a turret with full rotation, offering 2 gun choices. While it has no armor at all, it has to balance that insane camo. UDESPretty much a watered down S1, that in itself makes it far superior than Ferdinand.   The point with charioteer and Rhm, are NOT to be hit. They have far superior camo values. They are far smaller tanks too. Again, despite HE penetrating Rhm, it will be basically shot more than 2x less than ferdinand, not only because of better camo, but being able to use smaller bushes as well. Not ruining its camovalues to pivot, because it has a turret. By the way, typical HESH in the tier like Charioteer, M41GF, Senlac, Mutz - whatever are penetrating Ferdinand in the side anyway. Its all flat, and the size of a house. You are a fool to believe camo means nothing, or that CVS defines the metagame. I am not sure you know how either works. You are also a fool to believe if EBRs are the be all end all scout, and if they'd do what you want them to do at that. No one would play or do well with light tanks and glass cannon TDs if that were the case, but still many do. Bush wanker sniper schnitzels are as popular as ever, with premium accounts being able to turn off maps (ensk/himmelsdorf) and most scouts still run optics as the superior choice to CVS.
