I personally want to continue to use Jagdtiger.

No hard feelings, really - I just don't like the looks of it. Sorry, if that hurt anyone's feelings.
So I'd rather see it replaced by some other, nicer model. Thus,  "removed" is my choice.

Excuse my retardedness, but I guess that means you're fine with jagdtiger being there, it just needs a better skin or whatever.

I think the Jagdtiger, while a beautiful piece by Mr.Scruff (Though skin could use work), has little purpose. While a reward unit for the KT, being a more defensive "super-power" unit, it seems more pointless to me due to the fixed turret. I'd much rather see an Ace in there.

If you manage to sneak it into the Ostheer as a reward then that would be a good solution but otherwise it serves little specialized purpose: Essentially it's a fixed turret version of a KT.

I don't think it can be excused - the question is about the model. I dislike it. Not the skin.
It's not the author's fault, of course - just an ugly looking prototype, rather accurately depicted.

Oh. Everything makes sense now.

I don't see what's the reasoning behind removing a cool, already implemented, optional reward unit. I'd understand if it was buggy as hell, but I don't like this decision. I hope at least the devs leave the files intact so it can be spawned with a mod like the SU-100 and Scottish soldiers.

It just needs work. Though i guess it should be removed (Jagdtigers were I believe rarer than even pershings!). It makes PE feel bad too, they get the Jagdpanther and the Wehr had already had KT now it gets the Jagdtiger as well? Share some love  :-*

It just needs a new skin and a new owner and everything will be ok ;D.

I would like to keep the Jagdtiger and add it to PE, but i'm realistic, that ain't gonna happen :'(.

I think it needs a little buff and then it should be added as a reward unit of the Jagdpanther. It would be stupid to waste such a good model.

Absolutely agree... I love that tank destroyer, and with Jagdpanther it's my favourite.
Keep it in the game!  :D

It's a shame that Scruffy died before he was able to finish his rework of the Jagdtiger. It had a new skin and was closer to the original..  :-\

If you people really want to play the jagdtiger, download the blitzkrieg mod. In tank hunter doctrine for the PE, the jagdtiger is the last unlock. Play BK and you will understand.
Ostheer is a new German faction for this mod.
It will be done when it is done.
Keep mapping and modeling.

BK it's totally different from EF and vCoH...how can you comparate it?

BK Jagdtiger need 2000 MP for deploy and with the crappy mechanics of that mod (1 shot - 1 kill) maybe you'll lost it in few minutes.
