The mighty TIGER, or not so much?

[WWhiskey]

Yeah good day in midwar...where the tiger is still king!!

yep that were it was!

You realize at 3,400 yards you're shooting at a target that is over 2 miles away, right?

I've opened up on targets over 5,000 away and had them spot me and kill me with one shot.


Yeah, that's realism.

well the INVINCIBLE Sherman turret is no fun because it's never invincible when I'm in it,I can NEVER take one of those turrets out,even if from the side at close range,they should be going right through that thing,not back at me

[Becinhu]

I killed a tiger in 2 passes today with an il-2 with 37mms.  We will ignore that the poor sap rolled his tank down the hill trying to avoid my attacks.......

Just to clarify, our "Sherman" is a British Firefly, which had a very good 17 pounder gun able to knock out Tigers with relative ease.

Doesn't explain the armour on it though...

No kiddin.  It seems the Firefly is able to shrug off rounds a lot oeasier than the Tiger... actually... the Tiger doesnt shrug off rounds at all.

well at least this ones only 4 months old

Tiger???  more like a kitty cat!!    I prefer the Sherman over the tiger,  way less perks and better all around IMO.  At least my tigers die too easily..what's the point in using it.

For the most part, at close to medium range between the m4 and tiger its really only a matter of who can hit the other first, with the tiger having a slightly better chance of survival imo.

well at least this ones only 4 months old 

Help!!  They're abusing the SEARCH function!!!

The other day I saw a M4 that was 1600 out. I put two hits right where the driver sits before he could find me. Then him and I shot at the same time (my third round to the same place and his first round shot) and we both go to the tower. They really need to do something about it because how it is now the tiger is just an overpriced POS.

I know how ya feel man.... I've seen some bizarre things happen on the GV scene...
Doesn't seem to be any consistency to it... VERY ODD....
Thats why there are so many accusations of cheating in game... Certain players sure
seem to get that "indestructable bug" often... Isn't always a Tiger either....
I just don't get it....

No kidding.  The other night I one-shotted several vehicles with a panzer.

Then we were attacking a base and the three of us hit a M8 14 times at less than 1000 yards (sherman, panzer, T34/85) before it went down.  About 1/2 hour later I engaged a T34/76 at about 50 yards with my Panzer and hit him 8 times in the turret without killing him.  He hit me at least 4 times also at that range.

We wound up over-lapped, jocking back and forth swinging the guns trying to drive one way or the other to get a shot without exposing ourselves to the other's

perk NEEDS to lowered on the tiger. way to easy to kill it with the sherman , and now the 37mm armed IL-2.

Like I said before, your stats don't tell the whole story! Tigers nowadays are used very conservatively, IF the TIGER was used as liberally as the sherman, I believe the kill to death would be worse than said sherman! And again let's not even get into how much more often tigers are targeted by planes  

Really need to up the anty with the sherman!!    and how about the PANTHER ? can we have one ?

[Rino]

     In other words, you only see what you want to see....not too surprising in
my experience.
