UNSLOPED, I might add.

Not that the sloping would help, got ammoracked frontally by a 1940 T-34 in a Hetzer. Might have been the lower plate though, as I was reversing down a slope.

Another instance was when I was reversing a Hetzer in a 30 degree angle away from the shooter. Didn't stop that T-34 1942 from shooting me. I thought the hetzers side armor would be quite well sloped for those situations.

But then there are those 6-kill-streak simulator battles that remind me why the Hetzers gonna Hetz: the gun is pretty good, same as on the Pz IV H and Jagdpanzer IV.

I find it hard to explain, but i feel alot safer in the PZIV..Maybe its the size?

I never bounced anything from any thank other than my hetzer. Just now I was playing in kursk and a kv1 broke my tracks, and I standed still while repearing for a whole 1:20 minutes while he fired and fired and fired without doing anything :p

The historical battles are less action packed than the arcade battles. What I like in arcade is that there is a constant stream of reinforcements. Somebody dies and another one comes up. In HB you got one crowd that is being diminished, for you to finally find yourself all alone on the battlefield. You could also join a FH server with 3 people, would lead to the same experience.

^I acctualy think that RB and SB entice people to work in wolfpacks because a lone tank is easy prey. If I join a battle where people stay together but try to cover as much aeria as a group, it is usually won. If you encounter another team that uses the same tactic, then some pretty epic battles forge

Got the Panther Ausf. D. Why should I tech to the Ausf. A? I know the cupola is different and that the Ausf. G has 10mm side armor more and no shot trap. But what advantage does the Ausf. A have?

It doesn´t seem worth the grind time.

The Ausf A has the Maybach HL 230 700HP engine, while the ausf D has the early HL 210 650HP engine

Some people play a vehicle since they like it, not because it is good.
Believe it or not, people do play this for fun. Not for having the best score on the end.

Where's the fun in getting beaten by superior tanks? It's more fun when you have better equipment at your side.

The fun is in driving the tank you like, and sometimes destroying "superior" tanks with an "inferior" one.
