Pz.Jäger 35R is a German Anti-tank unit.
Overview[ | ]
4,7 cm PaK(t) auf Panzerkampfwagen 35R(f) is a converted Panzer 35R(f), with the turret replaced by a superstructure mounting the Czech PaK 36(t) (47mm kanon P.U.V. vz. 36 (Škoda A6)). An estimated 174 tanks were converted by Alkett between May and October 1941, to create a design matching the Panzerjager I. Although the R35 version proved to be inferior, the destroyers were issued to units in the Netherlands, France, and the Channel Islands, eventually fighting the Allies in Normandy.
Strategy[ | ]
The panzerjäger 35R is at it's best in phase A with high veterancy to compensate for the lack of accuracy. It has in this phase enough penetration to deal with most phase A armored threats. It's effectiveness in Phase B is much lower because in this phase most opposition will have medium tanks available which will have more armor than you have penetration. You can still use the panzerjäger 35R with some success against medium tanks with flank shots but this is very risky and it's primary role from phase B onwards is that of a halftrack killer and the occasional light tank. It also have anti-infantry capability with HE round but due to limited HE Value limits infantry effects.
Very good strategy for the Panzerjäger 35R is to use them in groups with a command unit near them so that you can suppress and kill enemy vehicles very easily because of the very high rate of fire from multiple Panzerjägers.
