pretty much you get a kill hitting a Sherman or Panzer almost anywhere when using a Sherman.

Hell, I hit a Sherman in the tracks (from the front) and killed it when hitting it from a Sherman.

I get very few richochets on Panzers from a Sherman.

I witnessed a Sherman killing a Tiger from 600 yards out with one shot.

T-34 angled armour on the front is no match for the Shermans gun out to 800 yards.

Sherman... great gun. Terrible armour.

Love the sound of the shell bouncing off the floor after the gun is fired. However, I have been hearing a LOT of double reports when firing the gun. The boom plays twice. Very confusing in TT.

i had a tigr taken out 1 shot from 1600 by a sherman

tigrs are next to worthless
HVAP shot for the T34s isn't what i thought it would be. Several times i have had to shoot shermans 3-4 times in the front armor from 400-600

Three richochets on a Sherman turret from my panzer at 600.

Larry · « **Reply #9 on:** April 13, 2007, 08:46:30 AM »

Thats the problem don't shoot thier turrets. One hit anywere else should kill them.

Killed a few tigers with 1 shot. That gun on the Firefly is wicked bad. I think the days of the perked Tiger are numbered.

Took a T34 up with the HVAP loadout. It'll kill tanks now, which is something I never had much luck with in the past. Don't know if that's necessarily due to the new ammo, or the tweaking of ballistics and armor, but it works.

The old T34 AP was always able to kill Panzers and T34s if you hit the right spot at the right angle. It was never able to kill Tigers except at point blank with 9 rounds. The new HVAP can now kill Tigers at short range, including taking out the turret in one shot. However, it cannot easily kill the new Super Sherman, even at point blank range. So yes, I would say the Tiger will now be a hanger queen. (Or would that be a garage queen?)
