Sometimes when you smoke them it's not the turret doing the smoking.

So based on some of the replies with advantages given to the 2 main tanks of concern here (Tiger and FireFly).  It is reasonable to justify asking for another reduction of the tigers perk or the FireFly is raised up closer to the tigers.  Yes....no....maybe so!!

Raise the sherman to the same perk value as the tiger! Tigers only advantage over sherman is it's defense against being bombed "and this is NO real benefit as anyone bombing GVs is looking for the tigers 1st, I'll bet the tiger suffers a 4 to 1 increase of bomb attacks over the sherman just cause of perk value" sherman armor from what I see is on par or superior, sherman firepower is superior, aquiring targets with the speedy turret is waaaaaaaaaaaay superior, and damage model seems to be superior, so with all this in mind, the sherman should actually be perked higher than the tiger! It is truely sad that the tiger is sooooooo average and barely better than the panzer these days!

Shreck, if the Sherman is so superior, why does the Tiger kill the Sherman more than vice versa, and why is the Tiger 60% more effective than the Sherman against the Panzer, and 250% more effective against the T34?  This is based on every single tank on tank inter-model kill over the last completed five months.

Seriously, anecdotes are a dime a dozen.  The Sherman is demonstrably not superior against other tanks than the Tiger, on average.

been awhile back so its kinda sketchy but i think i drove from the base to were the camp was killed a whole mess of bad guy's (with the help of some supplies from my freinds of course!) two spawns came together there, and ours was camped when i got there, after a while i guess i was camping theres, they captured the other base so then we had no spawn at all to the spot so i tried to leave the area, with air support and more supplies i managed to drive  about 7 K. to land them. being chased an shooting and killing all the way!it was a good day and i needed a drink and a smoke when it was over!

Even if Whiskey had been sitting in their freaking spawn hangar, that's a great job.  They had 5 different names he killed in that list alone.  If he were (and he wasn't, but just saying suppose he were) sitting in their hangar killing them as they spawned, five guys should be able to spawn in at the same time and four of them would get out of the hangar while he was reloading.  They just didn't get the job done, that's all.  And he said he was breaking up a camp they had going of his own spawn.  Good job Whiskey!
