8,8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger - 3 Marks of Excellence

A Tier 9 Jagdtiger chassis and superstructure tiered down to Tier 8 equipped with a rapid firing 8.8 cm cannon with low damage and low penetration but with extremely high damage per minute, accuracy and aim time. It only sees a maximum of Tier 9 vehicles and makes a ton of money on an average battle. However it plays very differently from the Tier 9 Jagdtiger. Peek-a-boo tactics will be extremely awkward and unreliable, ambushing from close distances will be difficult and playing like a typical heavily armoured vehicle will not work. The 8.8 cm Jagdtiger is designed to snipe at long ranges while having great view range to spot enemies and having great armour to deflect shots from afar while maintaining it's sniping position. Although the lower hull is more armoured than the Tier 9 Jagdtiger, it is not strong enough to withstand the cannons of Tier 7 vehicles. Having almost 4-5 seconds of reloading time allows you to permanently damage the tracks of enemy vehicles and receiving assisted damage at the same time. At long ranges, it has a strange capability to almost everytime damage the tracks of enemy vehicles, leaving the enemy immobilised and helpless. I found it one of the strangest and challenging Tier 8 TDs to get 3MoE. Relying just on the gun is not going to get you 3MoE, you need to spot and destroy the tracks of enemy vehicles to get assisted damage and apply advanced knowledge of attack and defense positioning to deliver damage consistently.
