Not that it takes effort, lol. It's basically a mobile pak 43 that you can just mindlessly move up and delete vehicles with; Virtually no thought or micro necessary.
@@shadow7988 Sure because it never happens that you leave it exposed and 2 t34/76 circle trolls it. Of course if you use a powerful unit properly like they did it is powerful.
@@Ext3rmin4tor Yes, you're right, in some odd situation where your elefant exists in a vacuum where it sits totally isolated in an open field, and you have no army anywhere near it on the map for some strange reason, and you've pushed it up to take on their entire army where your army is nowhere near, again, for some strange reason, then yes, you can overwhelm and circle strafe the Elefant. Wow, Sun Tzu, ya got me there.

I really want to see Skippy play the Spearhead mod in vs expert AI with a friend or two. No practice, just going right into it. Then uploading it to TH-cam.
I hate how in CoH the proportions or tanks are not followed. The Tiger, Elephant tanks for example are in reality WAY fucking bigger than what the game makes it seem like.
being able to build bunkers is huge, not to mention the bunker can also heal and reinforce....the soviet is so hard to use, you have to go all the way back to base to heal, it doesn't make sense.
@The Nuczako No they did not. The Kursk offensive was breaken off by the Germans. But Germans killed many times more Tanks and men than Soviets. 700- 1200 German tanks and assault guns lost vs 6000 Soviet tanks and assault guns lost.
@The Nuczako You are confusing the overall situation (Germany, a 60 mio. people country had to fight basically alone against the rest of the world with only a few, often weak allies) with one battle. Nobody in his right mind would call a loss of 6000 tanks vs 1000 a "victory", let alone 100.000 men dead, wounded, captured or missing on the German side vs. 800.000 dead, wounded, captured or missing on the Soviet side. If that is a "victory" for you, you should probably get your head checked
@The Nuczako "!But still it was their first major victory since german operation "Barbarossa" Since you oviously have no clue about history, I'm wasting my time. The first victory of the Soviets was the counteroffensive at the doors of Moscow Winter 1941/1942. The second, first major Soviet victory was Stalingrad 1942/43, so both before Kursk. Kursk was the last big counteroffensive from the Germans. It was quite succesful but Hitler oderded stopping it because of the new threat in the West (Italy, Sizilia). I think Guderian it was who wanted to follow up with the Kursk offensive, since the Soviets there heaviliy bled out (see the numbers above). Kursk was not a victory of the Soviets, you are the first person claiming that. It was an abandoned offensive of the Germans, in terms of material rather a tactical victory, and of course Soviet Russia could recover quickly/afford such losses, Germany not. Later operation Bagration broke the neck of army goup Mitte was the final nail in the coffin in the East.
@The Nuczako You are right in one point though, since Zitadelle was postponed several times (one reason is alleged Hitler wanted to have more of the new tanks (Panthers) ready) and because of counterintelligence the Soviets had enough time to prepare and dig in. And they were masters in digging in anyway. So the operation, despite the inflicted losses on the Soviets, was much more costly in the end for the Germans than it would have been if they attacked a month´or so earlier in that area. In that sense it can be seen as a not successful offensive, but I still wouldn't call it a victory for the Soviets considering the losses thy suffered. Oh, and it was Manstein who wanted to go on with the offensive, not Guderian.
@The Nuczako Anyway. The war was lost for Germany from the very beginning. The losses incured at Kursk, even though thy inflicted 5x more losses on the enemy, could not be recovered anymore. The soviets had big army reserves, a still functioning war industry, which was not constantly bombed, millions and millions of tons of trucks, parts, tanks, food etc. from the US. And much more people of course. The offensive of Kursk mid 1943 was a last attempt to gain the initiative back. And it failed due to the circumstances already mentioned, plus other Soviet offensives going on at the same time on other fronts (some even claim that was the main reason for abandoning Citadell). But taken on its own I have my problems calling a battle where I lost 5x more in men and material a victory. I know of course, as said before, that the Soviets had no problem in losing so much men and material, when men and material are virtually available infinitely. Manstein on the other hand thought a success in breaking through the Soviet lines would have been possible if they pushed a little more. But even then it is highly questionable this would have changed any odds of the war as a whole. You can't fight three super powers, one of them (USA) the economic powerhouse No. 1, supporting one of your other main enemies (SU) with 100s of miliions of tons of material. And you have only Italy, Finland and Japane as your allies (Hungary, Romania too small to be counted). You may have the best army and war machines, but you won't last very long. Indeed holding out 6 years against basically the whole world (includes Canadians, Australians etc.) was a miracle almost.
Miss the good old days when you could have 4elephants per player not this weird heavy tank cap stuff.... Gone are the days when you could have an average 3h 4v4 now its a very rare 1h game and average 20m to 30m.
I do not understand, normally on a 4v4 match you need at least one 105mm and a command panther for flares i say you win for the allies do not have artillery
So between jahtiger and elefant, which is more usefull ...... Jagtiger may not have the optics but can be used with fusiliers which is same thing and it can actually work as an arty and fire shot that is unblockable......to me it looks just plain better to use a jag, of course i could be wrong

The Elefant is the upgraded version of the Ferdinand (named after its designer, Ferdinand Porsche). For example the Elefant has a frontal MG34 which the Ferdinand does not.
Jaeger Armor seems to out-perform Fortified Armor a lot. Although commander PzIV is good, Panzer smoke is great, but the scope and dive bomb have much more impact to the game. (Halftrack AT mine and hulldown are just as trash as they are)

4 elephant tanks
These are the upgraded versions of the Ferdinand which were built from Porsche tiger hulls
The Porsche tiger had an underpowered engine, so they add a heavy super structure to the back,
Sent them to the Easter front.
Struggle to get up hills, makes engines explode.
Some return,
Upgrade some to the elephant version with heavier armor and a ball mg in the hull, (none of the upgrades were to the engine, now it’s heavier)
SENDS THEM TO THE ITALIAN MOUNTAINS
Fun history lesson!

now that i think about it, thats what probably happened in the actual war.
100K views on this thing!? You guys are nuts!
For my sanity, please use attack move with elefant. You would have benefitted with a reinforce bunker to keep your troops on the field too
Nice tips! ✌🏻
looking back on this, let’s all appreciate how much better skippy has gotten
Still feel like I’m pretty bad. 😆
watching this on quarantine and still overwhelmed on my chest. what a good cb game!

You know when elephants come with commander panzer 4, 105 howitzers, the world just becomes more peaceful lol
"We've been given a gift!!!" It's SO great when that happens
