Jagdpanthers armor, Darkest Hour

[dividednation44]

one shot from the jagdpanther's 88 L/71 should have sent that tommy cooker flying....

[RandiPan90]

@chinito03 its a cromwell

[FuriousBystander]

This video is from 5 Betas versions ago and does not accurately represent the tanking system in Darkest Hour now in 2011. Frankly it's now the best tanking system in any FPS game, that includes having RO2 in the heap.

[TransAmDrifter]

are those cannons pump action or something? :D:D:D:D

[ufcfan114]

thats one STRONG sherman lol

[draistRomol]

Jagdtiger is the meanest motherfucker in the whole game, I checked it's armor today, even the powerful 88mm of the Jagdpanther was able to penetrate the Jagdtigers frontarmor in a distance of 5m's!

[Bikkeliris]

can somone help me, i cant see how many ammo i still have. and i cant see in a tank whit what you are shooting. is that a problem in my settings?

[ccIvan09]

obviously with a stuart tank idiot.

[spindle12]

lol 2 sec reloading time... fail

[cammes]

@Warhammer40k1561 Yea i did hence my comment.. You do realise that the kill shot on the panther was from the side and at a range of like 50-100m Even a Sherman would probably of done the job ;)

[TangoSierraBravo]

the jagdpanther 's crew is having a sleeping break .. and each of them thought that his mate was farting ...that's why they are not firing ??

[SteveAkaDarktimes]

the entire video is him being in a stuart firing at a jagtpanther.

great job mate...

the JagtPanther was MADE to kill other tanks, it has a low profile, extremely slanted armor, a excellent gun and armour, and you try to kill it with a peashooter.

[militarymuseumvol]

@SteveAkaDarktimes he uses a Sherman Firefly too.

[redegeldunit420]

is this game just called Darkest hour

?

[Rusakko82]

@redegeldunit420 Game is Red Orchestra and mod is Darkest Hour

[PitbullNL]

@Rusakko82 Darkest hour best mod there is!

[TheTrueUmLaiTung]

Thats nor sherman or matilda, its a stuart. it makes no damage in this game

[Mad0Dude]

1 shoot from the jagdpanther would tear your tank in about 1000 pieces

[Guynumber7]

first tank is matilda or 2 pdr armed tank thats why it shoots so fast

[norek3663]

@Guynumber7

not matilda, it is Cromwell mk IV

[123698107]

Sherman against almost any german tank the german win! But this is boring sherman can shot and shot but no result....

[hudeldienudel]

Lach, even a scratch from a Jagtpanther Gun will bring your sherman to the scrapejard!

[Redfingers]

The Soviets also employed at least twice as many IS-2's as the Germans did Tigers.

The IS-2 carried a 122mm main gun which was able to obliterate any German armor up to the Panther.

[Redfingers]

As a matter of fact, the SU-100 had a gun far superior to the Tiger I or even the Panther. It had a gun more comparable to the Jagdpanther, although still somewhat inferior. It was capable of defeating ANY German tank frontally at combat ranges.

What YOU'RE thinking of is the King Tiger, which as I understand, was never penetrated frontally, but that's probably because it had 150mm thick front armor at a steep slope, as compared to the Tiger 1's 100mm armor at 80 degrees.

[Redfingers]

The 17 pounder would cut straight through the Jagdpanther's frontal armor, that thing carried a more powerful shell than the Panther and Tiger I, enough to defeat any German tank frontally at combat ranges up to but not including the King Tiger.

As a matter of fact, with APCBC the 76mm could defeat the Jagdpanther's front plate past 1000 meters. And the 17 pdr Firefly could defeat it past 2000 meters....

Just more bullshit from RO engine.

[Shadowolf05]

@Redfingers In actuallity no tank that any of the allies had ever defeated a Tiger tank frontally.They did however add to their kill count.

The only way to knock out a Tiger was by hitting in the flank or rear.Look it up my friend.Its true.

[Redfingers]

@Shadowolf

Did I not just fucking show you a bunch of guns capable of penetrating a Tiger and panther frontally? Are you daft or just being difficult? All of this information is available....these penetration values were derived from actual ballistics tests. The two guns I listed could easily defeat the Tiger/Panther frontal armor at combat ranges.

Plus, the most nonsensical thing you spew is that no ALLIED tank could defeat a Tiger frontally. You are completely neglecting Soviet armor.

[xAlexTobiasxB]

@Redfingers Well, to be somewhat more accurate, he meant that most Tigers on the Western front were indeed mostly defeated by shooting its rear/side armor, since the most built Sherman variant (with the low velocity 75mm gun) could not penetrate the Tiger's front armor at any range. Although there are a few accounts of Pershing crews (of those with 76mm high velocity guns) that knocked some Tigers frontally out as well. And so did the M36 tank destroyer, M26 Pershing, M4 Firefly as well.

[Landoforpresident]

@Shadowolf05

i think that Pershing and Firefly at the last of the war did it

[Shadowolf05]

@Landoforpresident

Of course the pershing and the firefly could stop one,The only thing I can think of that would rival a pershing is a tiger 2.And even then the pershing might take it out.The firefly was basically a tank destroyer posing as a tank.Its personally my favorite allied tank.But the reason I made such a comment is because a anti-tank gun destroying a Jagdpanther is almost laughable.If they fired at its front there would basically be nothing done to it.

[Skringly]

@Shadowolf05 Nah. The Pershings 90mm was a let down, sure it was an alright gun, but it didn't preform as well as it should have. Plus the Jadgpanther had the same guns as the King Tiger. Then there was the JadgTiger which had an 128mm Anti-tank gun, that could pretty much go through any tank the allies came up with.

[cammes]

@Shadowolf05 The Pershing had nothing on the German big cats. It was a match for the Panther (Pz V) But thats where it ended. Even the Panther had better specs then it. Only way your gonna stop a Jagdpanther is a lucky shot in the side or airsupport.

[Sturmmann]

@Redfingers

yea the tigers that are destroyed in one shot are annoying

it shouldnt be fair

tank maps shouldnt have fair teams

2-3 tigers and 10-15 shermans on american maps

[QuellDerQual]

The first tank is a Cromwell i think

Then the 2nd should be a Sherman M4A1 or the Firefly (thats the one with the bigger gun - 17Pound)

[Geflechtmeister]

which tanks were used shooting at the panther?

You could write it into the description of your vid or make notes in the video ^^

[jordyboy321]

wtf WHY WONT IT DIE

[OstfrontES]

Jagdpanther has a Heavy Armor u have to use tanks with high-caliber and try shoot it in its back or in the munition, NEVER SHOOT IN FRONTAL xDDDDD

[packersfanover18]

its heavily armored, need a pershing to even touch that.......the 76mm wont do shit

[chinito03]

because you cant penetrate panther's/jagpanther's frontal armore.. panther and jagpanthers are heavily armored in front... thicker than tiger's because of the angle of the frontal amor of the panther..

[cosminel30]

how many times you fire in this tank

[chinito03]

unrealistic.. one hit from jagpanther should dstroy ur sherman....

[leeham991]

At anything other than a lucky angle anyway.

It's about the same chance the American infantry had of a rifle round bouncing off their helmet.

[xX0rt4Xx]

Depending on where he did hit you.

[pawagnathom]

@chinito03 and bullet should go through sherman

[0hypnotoad0]

@chinito03

Yeah, uh, tanks dont have health bars. it's entirely dependent on where it hits and how the shell reacts if it penetrates.

[BOmarde]

you played against bots.....

[Sobergr]

I dunno why but i played RO and didnt like it :S This mod with Normandy seems to rock. Im getting this today xD The new maps are great and the new tanks ^^ Cant w8.

[TomaPartizani]

This is a cromwell, using a 75mm QF (NOT A 6 POUNDER) which had weak AP capabilites, this is not RO its DH a mod for RO. the first tank is a cromwell, the 2nd being a sherman

[barraki150]

i play red orchestra bute i have never see this tank and jagdpanther before in the game

[fingerniklas]

Its a mod for Red orchestra called Darkest hour.

[kennethkadaver]

Some intresting tank fights there's gonna be now with all the new tank stuff being implemented, code-wise. News updates can be seen on darkesthourgame(dot)com

[AceTheSalmon]

you would be better off getting out of the tank and putting 2 demo charges on it, assuming you are a combat engineer.

[takharov]

Completely unrealistic.

[PanzerAce88mm]

Firefly. THe reload time seems too fast.

[PanzerAce88mm]

WHo do the Germans fight in this game. British and American?

[kennethkadaver]

British, Americans and Canadians

[Ragox]

Deutscher Stahl! German steel!

[Companyman55]

Its gun is way to weak
