I wonder if the original poster knows the difference between the M4 Sherman and the Firefly we have in the game.  If he did, he'd know why the Firefly can one shot kill other tanks.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Sorry but I have to disagree with this one. Tiger has been made much weaker than it used to be. Trust me I've lost a lot of them lately to bombing.

The tiger should not be perked so high, it should be at a set amount since it can be easily killed now by panzer or sherman. When they introduced the firefly into the game they weakened the tiger making it easier to kill.

Every time a NOE mission suddenly pops up at a port, I roll a Tiger for defence, not an Ostwind. Guess why...

oh lord, mustard not again :(  Alright listen up, tiger's have BETTER armor and GUN then a sherman, Tiger's can 1 hit shermans. Sherman's have weak armor compared to the tiger's 88MM gun, but the M4's gun is a match for the 88mm, that said if your hit in the right spot ( anywhere except the frontal armor ) chances are your gonna die. But u can 1 hit a sherman  ANYWHERE on the tank and it will die from the tiger's cannon round.


That said the sherman should keep it's perk bonus because it has a good gun/ but weaker armor from cannon rounds and bomb drops. The tiger can withstand both much more Better.

Actually, it's the Firefly's gun that is a match for the 88mm main gun on the Tiger, not the 75mm found on the M4 Sherman.  The Firefly can take out a Tiger in one shot to the frontal armor area, the M4 Sherman's 75mm main gun could not.
