Jagdpanther Premium - Pay to Win - War Thunder Ground Forces
I never play WT:GT with a premium account, I only play the game a couple of hours every few weeks so it's not worth the monthly sub. But the xp grind without a premium account is just terrible, so I decided to get the premium Jagdpanther from the store and pimp it out with the best crew skills, hoping I can use it to grind xp, since the tank looked pretty good on paper, and I'm an all time fan of JPs from my days in WoT.
So... I got the tank, maxed out all the important crew skills and aced it (crew skills matter a ton in game, and they are almost impossibly hard to grind freely). Total bill, roughly 60 euros worth of pay to win goodness.
Anyway, long story short, for once, I was right. My sweet JP earns good xp and credits even without a premium account, and I'm having a blast playing it. It's 80mm inclined frontal armor is an absolute beast if you know how to use it. Keep the tank far away from the enemy, try to always have the nose of the tank slightly raised so that armor gets an extreme angle towards potential front shooters, and you'll turn your frontal armor into a 200mm bouncy shield which at 1000m + is impenetrable to almost all enemy tanks. Quite a big difference from WoT isn't it!?
And as usual, here are the highlights:
15:10 - KT taking it in the face like a champ.
20:05 - 122mm cruise missile to the head.
31:00 - This is why you don't take a JP to town...
33:50 - Checking out the Jagdpanther's epic frontal armor and crew modules.
37:30 - KT paper turret armor.
40:30 - Spawn camping murderisation.
41:50 - Murderisation 2.
42:30 - Murderisation 3, 4, 5 and 6.
45:50 - ... and 7, I think this guy just gave up...
51:50 - King of the hill!
58:00 - How to fail at sniping...
1:00:25 - The little engine that could... not, but tried really hard!
1:08:10 - Spawn camping the enemy from half away across the map. Or how to camp in a bush for 5 minutes and win the match.
1:14:20 - One-shotting t-34s never gets old. Payback for all those hard times they gave me at low tiers.
1:19:00 - Sniping like a boss... Jagdpanther frontal armor laughing off all long range hits, while the devastating 88mm eats up enemy tanks on the other side of the map.
