Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 - 3 Marks of Excellence

Done in 123 battles. The Kanonenjagdpanzer 105's main strength is the extreme camouflage values and top speed, outperforming the AMX Cda 105 in scout runs and passive scouting. With similar gun performance with the AMX Cda 105, the Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 acts as AMX Cda 105's brother in long range sniping. Although AMX Cda 105 is more accurate and has slightly higher Damage Per Minute (DPM), it has worse stats in all other areas like gun traverse arcs and penetration compared to the Kanonenjagdpanzer 105. Both guns need to be aimed fully in order to hit the targets. Shell types for both guns are no different, however Kanonenjagdpanzer 105's APCR shells travel slower and HEAT travels faster than the AMX Cda 105. Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 has a higher top speed but trades in power to weight ratio, so it accelerates slower than the AMX Cda 105. The main difference between the two brothers is the armour profile. AMX Cda 105 can bounce off shots from other LTs and MTs and can surprisingly withstand some punishment. Therefore it acts more like an assault TD compared to the Kanonenjagdpanzer 105. The Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 cannot brawl and chase other MTs and LTs as well as AMX Cda 105. Both TDs have similar view range that exceeds 450m with the standard equipment layout. To effectively use the Kanonenjagdpanzer 105, try to stay hidden as long as possible during passive scout runs. If scout runs are not possible, support the team from the third line because DPM and armour is not sufficient for the second line. Active scout runs are also possible, but a spotted Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 in a passive battle is almost a guaranteed death. Both TDs are good in Frontline mode, although my personal preference is the AMX Cda 105 due to the armour and gun accuracy. In conclusion, the Kanonenjagdpanzer 105 is a faster and lighter version of the AMX Cda 105, it is a strong Tier 8 TD and it is a good TD for new players to train their relocation skills and aiming using a TD with a fixed turret and casemate.
