Pak43 vs KwK 43 muzzle velocity and shell drop
So I just got the Jagdpanther, and i'm used to the Tiger II(P). The one thing I wanted the TD for is its gun, which is fantastic on the heavy. When I tried it tho, I was surprised by the thing's shell drop. After checking, their shells have the same muzzle velocity on paper, and the gun is literally the same, except for its name.

Wtf?

What do you mean? Is the bigger scope zoom THAT different? The drop seems so small on the tiger

Jagdpanther has a pretty high zoom, meaning by the time you see the shell it's already further along in it's trajectory, and when the shell drops down it looks a lot closer.
Hmm. Thought all TDs had the same zoom. The difference still looks huge. Thanks

Take them both for a testdrive and compare, they made some changes to scopes recently.
After testing things out in battle, i'm pretty sure everything's all right. Which makes the jadgpanther an absolute UNIT.

Jadgpanther has to be one of the best, if not the best TD.

Jadgpanther has a 10x Zoom so you have to be ready for that. Tiger 2 is like a 5x zoom
