Good day everybody,
A new variant of the KanonenJagdpanzer has been seen on supertest. The key difference here is that it has lost the 90mm we all know and is now sporting a 105mm gun. Whether this is a replacement for the existing Kanonen or a new tank entirely has yet to be announced:
- Tier: 8
- HP: 1200
- Wieght: 26t
- Engine Power: 500hp
- Power to Weight: 19.23 hp/t
- Speed: +70/-20 kph
- Hull Armor: 30/30/8mm
- Hull Traverse: 46 deg/sec
- Terrain Resistances: .671/.767/1.981
- View Range: 360m
- Signal Range: 750m
- Gun: 105mm Bordkanone L7
- Damage: 390/390/480
- Penetration: 268/330/53mm
- Accuracy: .307
- Reload: 10.644 sec.
- DPM: 2198.5
- Depression/Elevation: -8/+15 deg.
I hope it’s a gun upgrade. 105 is more punishing. A second tank with just different gun seems stupid. People don’t like the 90mm gun on it as far as I know
Yes, let’s put spotlights on everything!
ALL THE SPOTLIGHTS
But seriously, that looks cool as feck, pls gib
Now THIS might be worth it. And that amounts to the alpha and penetration.
268mm pen? Another slap of face on Foch.
Which foch?
The one with the 4 shit 400 alpha autoloader? Or the 6 shit tier 10? Both of which have actual armour….
Yeah a HUGE slap on the face….
That Foch who has less mobility, pathetic weak spots and one of the worst camouflage stats…
Well, lets get rid of the 6 shot 120mm autoloader then you can get more penetration. Then again if you cannot work with 257mm penetration, maybe it is not the tank/gun/penetration.
How?
This has no autoloader, and no armour.
I’d rather play the Foch if I wasn’t in need of credits…
I have one of those things and i hate it so much XD
The 105 would be nice. The 90 is meh. Would this be a flat out replacement or the “155” treatment?
I bought the original Kanonen and even though a lot of people thought it was bad, I liked it a lot, despite the 90mm with 212 pen because it plays like a tier 8 StuG and I adore the StuG. It got even better when they raised the pen to 248 so you could punch meds and heavies to death with your awesome RoF.
It’ll be interesting to see how, if at all, the gameplay will change should they decide to trade out the 90mm version for the 105mm version. I just hope it’s not sold as separate premium, because that would be hella scummy.
I second you on what you said, I was an early adopter of the kanpanzer, and I even three marked the third NG before it got its penetration buffs! I hope if they are doing this kind of testis because they want to change perhaps the least played medium in the game (and I really hope wg does a swap instead of this being a whole new tank)
You do know the pen is 238mm Right?
WG has and will always be scummy. They’ll sell anything for a buck.
I want more acceleration and better reload….. I WANT THE NEW E25, Germans needs some op tanks
I don’t think its a replacement. They wouldn’t change a premium tank that much
They would buff a prem like this, but never nerf.
*said type59 : loss engine , got fucked with all stat

First premium tank with a choice of guns \o/ I’m calling it right now!
Oh look, hp/ton ratio lower than a premium heavy
T10 gun on a T8 tank with HP and mobility of M41 90 GF and probalbly camo of E25 also since nerf light tanks has less hp than tank destroyers but they need to get closer to enemy tanks and this tank can basicly bring any light tank to 50% hp with HE grenades
This tank is fine. Quite well balanced all things considered.
However it’s the lights that suck. WG overnerfed them and now most of them are useless.
that view range trully sucks….not woth it
Make no mistake, this would make the KJP more useful. But I weep for the missed opportunity to make the tank more unique and interesting rather than yet another alpha TD. I say stick to the 90mm and give the KJP different buffs. View range, movement dispersion, and DPM, for instance.
They could give it the WoWs Harekaze treatment, giving you the ability to play it as you wish
Meanwhile the poor kv5 is trying to kill defenders,libertes,patriots and o-hos with 167mm of pen….plz give it the kv5 gun!
Basically the same gun as the Leopard 1 on a tier 8 tank destroyer, nice!
(Gets balanced by 2100 dpm btw)
Problem is that the Leopard 1 needs some buff completely urgent.
After all, its gun now is… crap.<
Also the Jadgtiger 8.8… just replace it by the Jadgtiger H already.
I know its fun to track stuff with your (now simmilar to the caernavor tier VIII) 2900 dpm.. but its completely unconsistent (200mm for a tier 8 premium) right now and the rotation buffs arent going to solve anything.
Yeah I know that is a pref mm… but pref mm is completely broken nowadays. You always get tier 8 so… the advantages are… meh.
Its a TD and having it historical as a premium would be very nice.
Hey, I like my jagdkitten. It’s the rof that makes it fun. Track, weak spot, track, weak spot, rinse and repeat 😉
For the sake of historical correctness: the Jagdtiger 8.8 cm PAK was real stuff. Because there was not enough 12.8 cm PAK the germans equipped some Jagdtigers with 8.8 PAK’s.
Yeah but i would love to play an Historical Jadgtiger on tier 8 too… ,_,
Would be funny if they said we will not replace the 90mm gun this is a new premium tier 8 german td now give us your money.
WG bringing up the damage of 120mm up to the damage of 122mm cuz of small differences.
WG releasing 105mm with the damage of 122mm
105 with the damage of 120mm*
Seperate variant is highly unlikely imo, it doesn’t make sense to introduce a KJ Mk2. That’ll just antagonize the Mk1 owners and it also doesn’t align with their plans to make T8 at least more competitive vs T9/T10.
You don’t see a lot of Mk1 being played (at least on NA), almost none. This testifies to how the tank greatly sucks vs Skorps.
Also, the above stats is missing TD gun arc. Almost pointless to have a 105mm if your gun arc is as narrow as the St Emil.
They can just move down the 90mm KJ to tier 7 tbh, nerf the pen back to 212, DPM is already pretty much the same as the Jpanther. HP down to 830, same as the E25. The tank fits tier 7 from the start anyway.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Even more high pen premiums, Yeah!!!! That will fix the game!!!
that Tier 6 view range of just 360 meters will screw over this TD badly
even with a max crew with Sit awareness recon and BIA and Vents it will barely reach 385 meters view range, with optics I doubt it will reach 410 meters
remember, if your using Bino’s? then every time you move your tracks due to the gun traverse (no turret) to follow any enemy target they reset every time for 3 seconds
and ~
good luck fighting against the new OP hyper performance Light Tanks, unless they aren’t moving and they always are, then otherwise this TD will be Scout fodder every time
Just a note the Charioteer at Tier 8 also has the same gun, good mobility and a turret. This is a good buff for the worst tier 8 premium in the game. Hopefully it keeps the same gun traverse as the 90mm.
Kanonenjpz with the 90mm could’ve fit tier 7 perfectly replacing the E25. Regular MM, 212 pen, 240 alpha. Basically fits the tier 7 TDs. But they just HAD to put it on tier 8 because the can sell it for more.
