Please upgrade Tiger

[angelsandair]

Every time sombody dies in a GV perk ride, we get a thread like this, calling for something to be "fixed". Please.

Yea, but AAolds isn't Valdals, he's pretty legit about his wishes/complaints.

I really like Tiger tanks, but they too much perkies. (easier to kill my enemies with a Tiger tank).

I usually just take a Sherman and forget about it. And when I see a tiger, I'll be shootin and hitting it for 15min, he hits me once and kills me. When I'm in a Tiger, same deal.

Although I'm a crappy gver I do think that the Tiger is up to par to what it should be.  I do think that the panzer model we have has either to large of side rear armor or an underpowered gun.  This chart shows the gun's capabilities.

Our version has 33mm of side and rear armor.  I was unable to even disable a panzer from about the 7o'clock postion with two shots.  I also can not destroy an M4 from the same range with the panzer with one shot to the frontal armor.  Also I have hit a tiger at least ten times in the side at a range of 500mm.  Although I could see the tiger taking 3-5 of these side hits I think it should have been a smoking hulk of wreckage by 10.

Either way, puh-leeze do something about "Teh uber rubber bouncy trees of vengeful deth." Lost as many tigers to trees as to bloody shermans. Soft brush up against it and, hey presto, 50 tons goes airborne.

One tiger was reported to have survived 200+ hits from enemy tanks, a damaged transmission and it still made it home.  No tiger in this game has even come close to such a feat.

but hey now ive shot down aircraft before with tiger

I main wish for the tiger is to change the default skin to something other than orange/brown.  We have no maps with that color ground cover.  While shermans have that nice green color skin...makes it alot harder to see them.  I have a video of Rodar and I shooting it out from long distance.  We bounced alot of shots off eachother till he turreted me...think I bounced 15+ shots off him.  He was M4 and I was in a tiger btw.  It's kinda funny now but I was pissed at the time.

Download the skins for it.   I think you will find something to your liking.

That won't help him. People like me that have skins disabled will still see the deafult skin, regardless what his own choice is.
And that orange/brown default skin is nicely standing out among all those green terrain features...

yeah what Lusche...err Snailman said.  I do have the skins DLed.  Try disabling the skins and see how the panzers and tigers stick out....like putting a big flag on top saying SHOOT ME!

Thats a good thing

And, I've never had that happen to me.... How does it happen to you? I dont know...

Only problem I want changed for all tanks is historical optics... I honestly doubt that the M4 Firefly had a zoom/FOV that huge. HT would  have to add a no-zoom function in gunner seat and add a bit more umph to Cmrds zoom abilites to simulate that.

I'm sure they want GVing possible though. Not at close alts. But would be a nice addition is a binoculars for you pintle driver/gunner.

in real life, t34s would charge tigers, few panzer's main guns had even better penetration than the tigers (few), vc firefly Sherman's have faster turning turrets, better range, and better accuracy, and even barely better speed (about 1 mph), not to mention there 2 inch rounds are pretty close to a 88mm.

i know homebody's gonna argue with this reply... my forum sences are tingling

It should be your spelling police senses...

If all thats true why is the perk on the M4 so low?  I know you can't anwser that....only HTC can.  I think they are Tiger haterzzzzzz.
