2) Are you planning to increase the frontal armour of the Jagdpanzer IV and especially Hetzer in the next
patch? We have Shermans taking 75mm hits, even without range modifier.
a) Yet the Hetzer can´t even deflect 57mm or even 75mm hits, although having very effective frontal
armour. The real vehicle could even bounce 76mm shells at times.
b) Jagdpanzer IV has been killed with one shot by 76mm armed Shermans and Bazookas several times,
despite having similar armour protection to the Panther.
A)only on long ranges was the 60mm armour of the hetzer actually effective. Because at short ranges the guns of sherman tanks could be pointed low enough so the impact angle was less
But yeah, a 57mm or 75mm should not penetrate the hetzer tough
B) The jagdpanzer has simular armour protection as the Panzer IV.80mm frontal, 40mm side and 20mm rear armour. The front is not as protected as the Pänther tank. The panther tank is one flat 50 degree back tilted 80mm plate wich has a protection of 130mm. The jagdpanzer 80mm frontal armour is on the upper nose plate and the superstructure, but this is barely sloped so it gives only slightly better armour protection then a PZIV. At short ranges a 75mm gun could even penetrate it.
I wouldnt make it a 1S1K for 76mm shermans tough. The penetration is 93mm at 500 meters. So it should be made to survive a frontal hit. But not a side or rear hit.
As for the bazooka, the early M1 shouldnt penetrate it but the M9 should. again same story as with the 76mm=no 1s1k
