The last part of the discription, it feels incomplete to me.

In combat the Jagdpanzer performed exceptionally well in its intended role in Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, and on the Eastern Front. However, when it was used as a replacement for tanks and assault guns, the Jagdpanzer The Sd.Kfz. 162 Jagdpanzer IV was modeled by Omni, with the texture done by AceS, and the wheels done by Toddel.

Finally! good to see the version with the panther cannon - germans need more of those guns, im sick of shermans standing shots xD.

thats 3 new tank destroyers for the germans now. i think we are out of german tanks for now (i know there are still nashorn and stuff) - but with these 3 i think the most important vehicles finally are all in. good work.

have you yet decided on which NORMANDY maps you want to put it in (eg. in which operations it was used)?

now i think we need some more allied stuff. much important are m36 jackson and priest.

On a slightly different note, the past 3 updates have looked exactly the same at first glance, so people who just check the website and not the forums, probably didnt even there was a update. And missed the reminder about second round of voting as well.

Carry on.

I thought that only the L/70 and L/72 variants had the MG34. Surely we need one of those now or its gonna be too difficult to destroy the pesky infantry.

I say no to this. This means the jagdpanzer will be actually used as a tank destroyer.

Not like the lame Stug III ausf 40
Its a tank destroyer, not a regular tank

Title: Re: Forgotten Hope News Update: 5th of December
Post by: Butcher on 06-12-2010, 20:12:15
Jagdpanther and Jagdpanzer IV had both just 1 mg in the hull (not coax).

nonetheless the new Stug III is no fun to operate - they seem useless to me now.

as long as the Hetzer gets its 360° turnable top mg im happy.

Did the JPz IV have an mg in FH1?

Is the model in FH2 the same as the model in FH1?

Nice update as usual, but why are the spare wheels on the back more detailed in the FH1 version ?   ;)
I hope it´s just different rendering settings ;D
And will we get the feeling that it´s nose heavy when driving ? I hope it was possible to code this.

Jagdpanther and Jagdpanzer IV had both just 1 mg in the hull
The early versions of JP IV had left and right one cupola with each one mg behind.
The late version only had one.



thats basically what i said - this version has the long 75mm gun which appeared in later versions. so there is only 1 mg.

i dont see how the jagdpanther will be that much better than a standard panther right now. sure, it has the best gun of ww2 with the long 88mm, but this only makes a difference if there are churchills on the map, because shermans are 1shotted by both guns anyway.
the only advantage the jagdpanther has over the panther ingame i could think of is the lower silhouette, but i would rather like to have a turret and a coax gun. so i dont expect much of it, its just cooler and has more style, the advantages it had in reality cant be included in a game.

Probably withouth the stupid default fog of war the game would be better. I like it on PR where you can see everything for miles.

hey do you think we will see the M9 bazooka for the Ardennes ? At least it will help a little more than the M1 bazooka for hunting tanks

It will come in handy when defending against hoardes of IS2s and ISU122s.  ;D

The guns where more effective on the eastfront.

The Tiger needed to be in range of 800m to even try to penetrate the new IS2 frontal armor. And also at 1200m for the ISU. While the above could easily engage the tiger beyond that range

For the churchill it dint matterd, as the churchill also couldnt fire back at that range.

thats the tigers performance.
panther and IS2 could engage each other at 1000 metres - panther had more shells, double to triple the fire rate, better optics and agility. (also german wiki), also before this comes again: russian steel quality never met western (yes, also german) standards in ww2. when the IS2 was introduced in spring 44 it still had some protection problems in the hull so that panzer IVs and stugs could engage it (which of course was later solved). kingtiger and jagdpanther had the advantage.
we had this discussion before and it ended in off topic spam, so i will stop here.

IS2 HE shell was effective enough VS the panther tank alone with spalling damage. It could even rip of the turret

Shall i post one of the many pictures of ripped apart german AFV's?

I think you meant to say that his stupid AVRE is nothing to the Sturmtiger, unless you really wrote a post to argue against yourself.

Also, can front-heaviness be coded into the game? Just wondering?

Jagdpanther IV== Less adorable than the Hetzer. I mean, come on. You just want to pinch that thing's little cheeks!

Who's a good little Hetzer? Who's a good little Hetzer?! YOU ARE! Yes you are! Yes you are!!!

Don´t want to nit-pick here, but the Tank on the Picture is not the Sd.Kfz. 162 but the Sd.Kfz. 162/1 Jagdpanzer IV/70 (V) from Vomag!

The Sd.Kfz. 162 Jagdpanzer IV (also called Jagdpanzer IV/48) had a 7.5 cm PaK 39 L/48 Gun,
while the Sd.Kfz. 162/1 Jagdpanzer IV (Jagdpanzer IV/70) from Vomag in the picture had the 7,5cm StuK [SturmKanone] 42 L/70 (also called 7.5 cm PaK [PanzerabwehrKanone]42 L/70),
which was indeed a slightly modified Version of the Panthers 7,5cm KwK [KampfwagenKanone] 42 L/70 Gun!

Only the Sd.Kfz. 162/1 Version with the long L/70 Caliber Gun was called "Guderian-Ente" ("Guderian-Duck", not just "Duck") by the crews!
This was partly because Heinz Guderian strongly opposed and delayed the Project and partly because, as mentioned above, the long Gun made the vehicles somewhat nose-heavy, which caused them to handle "like a dabbling duck"!

But anyway a great Model and Texture! Good job guys!;-)

Not seeing the comment there on Moddb, but on the main page it is fixed now. Not on MODDB though.

As was said: 'Coming in the next weeks'; the devs have Christmas holidays as well and first have to sober up from the heavy drinking after the mod-coronation party. ^^
