Elephant has had ups and downs. Mainly downs. Germans failed to understand what's better for tanks.. most of them were simply too heavy without capable enough engine to run them. Also tanks like Tiger II struggled with reliability.. well at least with Porsche turret. Henshel Tigers got improved but still during war IT was better to have a lot simple tanks that are mobile and have enough of power in terms of gun. German tanks were costs a lot and most of them got knocked out outside of battle due to technology failures or because of terrain and vehicle's weight. Yes german engineer is more complex and advanced but still its better to have 10 worse tanks than one good that can be easly eliminated by other things than enemy fire. Jagdtiger was perfect example of that.

Gun was great, platform had..... performance issues, to be kind.

Give Ferdinand his historically good reverse speed and it would be an entirely different beast. It is ridiculous that Ferdinand has a top reverse speed of 10km/h when it reality (on paper) its electric drive was designed to go as fast backwards as it can go forwards. If you want to buff Ferdinand I'd start there because for casemates faster reverse gear means faster peaking of hill crests and corners and thus less exposure time.

Actually it is a much more interesting buff idea compared to just buffing its gun/armor/top speed.

A fast reverse is basically what makes or brakes a tank in Wot. The ability to zoom back in cover is invaluable.

Hello, thats historically not true, Ferndinands max. speed was 20kmh, and because of the weight it was in realitly 10-15kmh :) EDIT: Look into the official tank wiki (not wot wiki)

Map filters on the index page are an incredibly nice feature. Personally, watching Skill's videos has helped me tremendously to improve my own skills in the game!

I loved that tank back when wot was younger. And the Jagdtiger after it was sooooo fricking awesome. Good old times

one of the WORST stock grinds in the game.

having the superstructure at 250mm will solve the problem since the gun arc of this tank is fairly large it can angle the armor easily

@@onemorebox148 Yes that can be nice and maybe 5-7Km top speed,bit of turning speed and 3km reverse speed.

When I was grinding this line back in 2020, I loved it as a f2p player. Good pen, nice alpha dmg, has hp, armor if you use it correctly, it was a bit slow tbh, but I made it work somehow. Platooned with my mate, who had the JagdPanther 2

The only advantage it has over the borsig is the fact that you cant pen it with HE and thats insane. Its supposed to be this brawling TD but you can omly play it as a sniper. Might as well plsy the borsig.

Derdi Ferdi will always have a special place in my heart. Got my first real kolobanovs on this tank as well. It’s just pure nostalgia to take him for a spin once in a while.

Another fantastic and wonderful clip from the amazing Skill 😃👍🏻

Just go for Jadgpanther 2 fellas, way more mobile and trollish sloped armor. Ferdinand has flat armor that gets punished no matter what.

The 2nd MOE requirements are lower than most premium TDs 1st MOE, ~1700 thats like 3 shots and a bit of track/assist haha

The Jg Pz e100 was my first tier 10 all those years ago. I bought ferdi thinking it would be fantastic, and immediately regretted my decision. I actually went back to tier 7 to unlock the jg panth 2. So much more nimble and agile it was actually fun.

Do you know what other tanks you don't have new video for? Tiger II (C) and M4A3E2 Jumbo

The second match had so much potential for a great game if only for that BZ.

I really love my Ferdi, just wish they would buff the frontal casemate and it would be perfect. It is really good in my opinion. It does take a lot of effort to make work but so rewarding.

You should definetly play the Jagdpanzer II cuz i think it should be a fun tank to play instead of Ferdi in today meta

skill4ltu, This is so fun! I'm happy I found your channel!

anyone remember the Jagdpanther 2 ... I chose that over the Ferdi.

Edit:Just get Borsig you have same gun better mobility,turret and huge camo.

I realize that this tank is not really good, but it's the only one so far where I get a second MOE and it holds my all-time damage record. Probably says more about me than about the tank, OK.

This tank with the first 3 guns is just frustating to play. It's so bad. Even then, with the top gun the only thing it has is the damage per shot.

Hands down one of the worst TDs in the game at any tier, from any nation. Mobility is extremely bad and couple with not having a turret, this one's about as flexible as a stick of ice. The armor... this thing can't angle because of the huge hull cheeks that any tier 6 can punch through without giving it much thought. Even without that, the casemate armor of 200mm flat is useless at tier 8. You say that at least the gun is good... yeah, when it hits it's great. The trouble is that the gun tends to misbehave more often than not. I'd much rather stack up blueprints and skip this turd altogether. Cheers!

Ferdinand was, is and prob will always be a steaming pile of sh.. in WoT. It's the worst TD I've ever, ever played in WoT. It's so bad that I simply ended up spending free xp to jump through it.
