It usually never fails...one country always seems to wind up owning all or most of TT.  That just takes the whole purpose out of it....and really ticks me off.  Is there any way you can make TT bases (i think map is ndisles) uncapturable(including the airfields..so we can furball).  And take the ordnance out on those three airfields so there won't be anymore bombing my tiger:furious

NEVER take a Tiger to TT and expect to return.

I agree and think it's really lame when one country captures TT, it just takes all the fun away on that map.  TT is what makes that map so fun, it's usually a group of squeekers that get together and capture TT.

Concur, I go to TT periodically for the sole purpose of perk farming. Going for kills and glory usually ends in deep anger and frustration from my experience.

But then how would we save Tom Hanks & Matt Damon who are pinned down ?!?

There are 2 aspects to air combat - air to air & air to ground.

Dont complain about getting 2,000 pounds of love on your head when shooting at my fellow countrymen....and I wont complain about getting killed by Osti's & M16s when I do the same to yours :)

There are risks to go along with the rewards.

Explain this...was in TT in a tiger...im steadily on the move and come across a panzer coming straight at me...he gets within 400 and i frie....ricochet...Tiger to panzer and get a ricochet at 400.  To beat that..he shot me once right after i shot and i was in the tower.

Another instance...i was in a sherman and got one pinged by an M8...after i ricocheted off of it.

I dont know what the problem is but it needs to be fixed:furious :mad:

I don't see the problem. A Tiger is tough but not invincible, esp at 400yds. With luck and a good aim, a panzer can kill you if hitting the right spot. Succesful tanking in AH does require not only "biggest gun in game" but also a knowledge of where to hit your enemy.

While a hit on a panzer at that range is usually an instant kill, it's not impossible that you hit a bad spot at a bad angle, so your shell ricochets.
A really good AH tanker will even try to position his Panzer in such a way that he is giving you a bad angle. (If he can't avoid an engagement in the open)

When driving a Tiger, you want to get the combat range as long as possible to get most out of your combination of big gun & heavy armor. The closer you are, the more your advantage diminishes.

Never under estimate the M8. I once found an unlucky M8 stuck in the quicksand. A dozen rounds from my Tiger and nothing. He just towered out. :furious  Perk the M8!
