The German Jagdpanzer 38(t), colloquially known as the Hetzer, is both a formidable opponent and an incredibly goofy tank in War Thunder. It has sloped armor all around, making it look like a turtle.

As a Czech, I give you extra points for using a historical camo commemorating the Prague Uprising. For my non-Czech speaking bros out there: on the left-side skirts, there's a list of people killed or wounded in combat during the defense of the Czech Radio building ("Český rozhlas"). The actual Hetzer used during the combat lacked the main gun (it was an unfinished vehicle) and had different markings.

Hetzer in German comes from describing hunting with dog which is chasing the prey. It can also be used to describe humans who have a strong opinion/accuse someone about something and are making that publicly known, however that is not very common in modern German language.

@12SickOne34 6 ай бұрын

Let me (as a German) give it a try. Hetzer comes from "Hetzjagd" aka "Hetze" aka "Hatz" aka "Treibjagd" ("jemanden oder etwas hetzen", would be translated as "to hunt someone or something down (in a chase)") So, yeah the literal translation should be Chaser or simply Hunter. German is such a complicated yet rich language, isn't it^^

Personally, I think that arcade actually has a pretty elegant solution to the CAS issue; It could be refined a bit more, but limiting the number of planes that can be up at any given time, and giving them a maximum time they can be in the air before they're forced out and back into a ground vehicle works well. Especially if it means having to leave yourself in an undefended tank while you're in the plane.

When you said : "this is not exactly a flanking tank" and showed the max speed of 42 km/h, I (british main who love the british heavies, I'm weird I know) was like "what do you mean not build for flanking ? This thing is SPEED itself". Also you should play the Valentine I. I think it's one of the most underated tanks both in the game and real live.
