Only if they perk the La-7 & spit 16 with it.

SpitXVI and La7s dont need to be perked. Tigers perks need to be less if they can be killed so easly. If this was just a fluke then it happens but if its not then something should be done.

Kinda I can see if it was less then 800 out but from 2k away I dont want to risk what little perks I have on it. It would be like flying a Me262 and being shot down from 2k out from buffs.

Lol..you aren't getting killed by a Firefly if you're in a Tiger from 2k out from the front.  Trust me; if you doubt it, holler and I'll let you shoot at me a bit while I go make a pizza.

Well it happened. I watched the shell exit the serman, fly over to me and ping back in the tower.

Does the Shermie really have crappy armor?

 I spot a M4 from way out, landed about 4 rounds which all ricocheted off from the frontal armor. Okay, it's frontal armor, didn't really expect to penetrate. So I try to outflank it, land 2 rounds from the side.. smoked his engine. But that was about it. Again and again, hitting from the side, at 800yds distance, additional HVAP just doesn't seem to register despite the 'hit' sprite, and bam, the Sherm turns the turret to me, and I'm dead.

 I've killed Tigers with the HVAP ammo from some 1000yds out, but against the Sherm, nothing much can do...

 Gotta say, of all the Sherms in the world, why did we have to end up with something like this?

 I hope HTC would add in an additional T-34/85, so we can at least even out the odds 50-50 to the Sherm. Either that, or perk the whoopeeed thing.

 As it is the Tigers are now useless crap, and no one has any reason to up something else than the M4. Who'd up a Panzer or a T-34 anyway, when there's a one-shot Tiger busting free tank that moves fast, fast turret travel, and even has pintle gun?

The Firefly Sherman's gun in WWII was a fantastic main gun but it just seems as though HTC's Firefly is all that and more.

The Tiger has lost much of its luster now.

Those are easy to kill, it is the pilot that matters.  
With GV's it is different and it sucks losing Tigers to one shot from 1800 yards to a Panzer or losing them to 2 or 3 shots from a field gun....

Umm it its but the firefly isnt a regular M4. Its the gun that kills, the armor sucks. Its pretty much who can get a hit first is the one that wins.
