Default Re: why jagdtigers cost only 150 points

1) turret - a useful thing to have

3) Rate of fire slightly higher in the T2 at 7 over 5

The Jagtiger will have a slightly better AP performance, but will be out of ammo quite soon. It won't turn to face reaction threats to its flanks as often due to no turret. It will have less available shots due to low ROF.

The 88L71 on the Tiger 2 will deal with everything at effective ranges, and has nearly twice the ammo and will have more shots per turn. I know which I would spend the 60 or so extra points on!. (Unless I only plan to fight Stalins at >1000 yds maybe).

Point 2 will likely be where the points come from - about 100% more stowed rounds of an almost as effective gun. Try putting the same ammo load into the JT and see what the CC costs it as?
