the tiger needs to be updated or the perk level lowered.
« on: June 19, 2008, 08:00:22 AM »
its getting too easy to kill a tiger at long distance. when i first started this game the tiger was almost invincible. now tigers are getting killed by one shot from a panzer at long distances. the sherman vc now takes mulitple hits from a tiger at that range just to take out his turret. :furious

Shot placement. this also depends on how you position your tiger. if you dont know these things then maybe you should ask for help

sorry but the tiger has been fubared since the Sherman version of AH came out.

Tigers have been dieing regularly @ range especially to Shermans. even close in a Sherman will
take more shots to kill then a Tiger does.  And dont tell me well its where ur shoot. I KNOW how to shoot and where to shoot. when i can shoot a sherman @ 800 yards 6 times and not even get track or turret kill, he tuRns and kills me in 1 shot front armor  its FUBAREd.

Tiger's actually take pretty good punishment as long as your angled from where someone fires at you. For example if your target is at 800 infront of you - then turn your tank about 11'clock position and use the angle to bounce shells off your armor. However - Turret shots will knock your turret out so either have sups available or your going to be dead trying to run away.

I have found tigers take more shots in the turret and survive over M4's - M4 shot in the turret will die quicker.
However I do believe same as whels - Tigers are under-modeled big time, yet they can take a dozen bombs and not even have a scratch where M4 a single 250lb on top of it and its dead.

I don't quite figure this out but whatever.

I dont drive vehicles all that often, but it sounds to me that some folks are upset cause they no longer have the almost completely invulnerable mod button thingy anymore cause their favorite almost invulnerable I can kill you, but you cant kill me cartoon toy now has a somewhat equal in the game. Give or take a few minor issues.

I wonder if the Germans cried a lot when they realized their tigers werent the big bully on the block anymore?

Its a cool tank dont get me wrong, but it had its day just like anything else. Play in it, die in it, and re-up in another one if ya wish.

The Tiger's K/D ratio against the Sherman VC would seem to indicate that it remains the top tank.

Honestly, I've never had trouble with Shermans... I've killed them with 4-5 shots from the Panzer, having to aim about half way from the bottom of the rangefinder to the bottom of the gunsight. I guess he would have been 3500-4000 yards away.

The M4 firefly had a very good gun, 76 mm HV but it was still a Sherman with very weak armor. even a PZ 4's 75 would cut thur it with no problem. in here I have to hit then 3/4 times to kill them. EVEN WITH THE 76mm IT STILL HAD A HARD TIME WITH THE TIGERS. I say the sherman is not modeled right.

I only up Tigers when I need a GV that will take a few pounds of bomb damage. Otherwise they are now worthless.
