I honestly dont think we need anymore one-shot kill super tanks. The Tiger and FireFly are enough.

This is the last thing we need for AH. It is tied with the n00k at the bottom of the AH wishlist. The Tiger already kills everything 1 shot. Bringing a King tiger into the game is like a Volkswagen taking on a Ferrari. It just blows everything else away. What we need are new aircraft, not new tanks.

A King Tiger would certainly fit the bill as a ENY 5 GV.

That's what I'm getting anyone else?

Yep.

I say we get it and add in all the suspension and engine problems it was plagued with. Would be great to watch a tank just break down without taking any hits.

no problem here with new gv ,   but the king tiger, no , there are lots of gv that need represented before a super uber king tiger

IMO if the uber tiger is not doing it for you ,,spend more time at the range

As strange as it may sound, studies had shown Wikipedia has been found to be as accurate as Encyclopaedia Britannica.

It isn't as bad is one would imagine.

First I think we need to fix the Sherman we already have. King Tiger only got a max speed of 24mph, and last I checked the Firefly only goes 25mph in AH2. I know the sherman ain't that slow....unless the over sized gun has something to do with this. In that case could someone enlighten me on if the Firefly did go this slow?
