Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer: new stats in WoT 1.23.1
The Hetzer was famous for its thick and sloped armor, which allowed it to withstand enemy shots. However, now the lower part of the front plate has been thinned: this makes the Hetzer easier to penetrate from the front. Moreover, its 10.5 cm Stu.H. 42 L/28 gun, which was able to destroy medium and light tanks with a single shot, has seen an increase in the reload time from 8.6s to 9.8s and the aiming time from 1.7s to 2.3s, reducing its firepower and accuracy.
- Front plate, lower part: the plate has been thinned
- Reload time: old 8.6s new 9.8s
- Aiming time: old 1.7s new 2.3s
