I thought this thread was about the Tiger II, and therefore german tanks?
The king tiger is just to heavy and slow so it your own death trap.

The King Tiger would get mounted from behind by a T34/85 and rode until it collapses from exhaustion like a young boar to an old sow.  The limited success of the current Tiger shows clearly that a big target is more often a dead target on the gv battlefield.

It is too big, too slow, and not able to fit into this game well at all.  Think of a Lancaster with tracks and front MG's only for defense.

HTC has far more important things to develope than an over-rated fat toad of a tank.

He111
Boston Mk4
Mossi B Mk 16
Priest/Saxton
Sdkfz 251/9 with 7.5cm inf cannon
M10 Wolverine or M18 Hellcat TD
Ki-45 "Nick"
Ki-102 "Randy"
Ju87G
Tu-2

...to name a few.   :aok

The Panther would do great but the Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. G really need to be added if HTC going to put in TD.

Poor GREric was my personal perk producing machine today.  I am sure he paid for the next Tiger that I lose.   :lol

Really?  I've got 18 kills and 1 death in a Tiger so far this camp and it's always my best tank.  Clearly too big and slow for the GV battlefield.   :rolleyes:

By all means, give us ALL those fancypants tanks!!!

And give us their real reliability factor to go along with them!!! LOL!!!

And let them sink on what appears to be perfectly solid ground too!!! LOL!!!

And also give us streams w weak bridges, that they could NEVER cross, LOL!!!

Oh yeah, and that 4mph crosscountry speed would be really popular too, LOL!!!

We'll see how popular that fat uber tank is then!!!

 :rolleyes:  back at ya.  Something tells me your not spawning into the heat of a major gv battle out in some far away spawn either.  I'd be willing to bet you're a camper/ambusher more than anything.  Those 18 kills of yours in that Tiger received how many shots in return?  Thought so.... stats say anything one want them to.

While I apologize that I may have over-generalized, someone of your proficiency should understand that there are always exceptons to the rule.  In general, the bigger and slower the target is the easier it is to fell.  Stop and think how much attention the Tiger receives now when it is on the battlefield.  It is a magnet for enemy fire from both ground and air.  Yes, it has the best main gun.  Yes, it has the best armor protection.  But the volume of fire it receives is not in proportion to the fire it gives.  The Tiger II would be further abomination.

The only way I see the Tiger II/King Tiger/Royal Tiger beign added is to make it as rare as it truely was.  Perk it with 100 pts and maybe I'll swing on over to the "OK" side.

100-or 150 perks are ok for the Königs Tiger. i would spend them if i could drive a king tiger.

sure every attacker with a bomb would drop it on me but if i dicide to drive a königstiger i would search vor a god place for this mission  ;)

Don't forget, the M4 kills Tigers with one shot routinely.

Whoever says the 234 sucks doesnt know how to fly it, calibrate, or use the E6B.  It is really quite easy to hit anything you want once you

understand those principals.  Nothing is more fun than to fly right through a furball taking out ords! 

There is another little secret few know about it.  But that is another thread.

Let me know if I can help anyone who would like to know how to use the 234 accurately.  It is a royal blast!
