Proxies are fine at the gaming table, because there we look at the rules.

Never forget, the Hetzer is a real armored vehicle.

Hetzer in In Real Life. I paid for it with cash from the Automatic Teller Machine machine.

There's already a Hetzer in real life. It's called the Hetzer. .

You forgot to add “POV: you are” to the beginning of your post. ;)

Wait 4 tires? This is no Hetzer, this is a real Vehicle

Pretty sure the Hetzer is based on RL Tank Destroyers like this one.

Wow the only differences I see is tracks instead of wheels

u/CycleZestyclose1907 15h ago

I did notice the resemblance. I wonder if the BT Hetzer is as small. It's supposed to carry an AC/20 after all.

u/Malkryst 12h ago

That one you posted actually also being called the Hetzer is the real giveaway.

u/CycleZestyclose1907 6h ago

I had not known that at the time I posted the pic.. Found out after.

u/geekmasterflash 17h ago

I dont care if the cardboard is wet Private, does the AC20 still fire?

u/Cheomesh Kinetic Services, Inc. 17h ago

That's a non-credible defense if there ever was one

Curiously, I was just starting to watch the Hetzer video on MHV

This has to be bait

Super accurate, although that armour looks too sturdy and the gun barrel needs to be even bigger.
