I lost 2 tigers in 2 days from il2 cannons,no bombs and both times they got me in 1 pass.Why even have a tiger anymore,seems kinda useless now.How come this hasn`t happened in the last 7 years i been playing.Was the il2 wrong befor,if so what other planes are not correct?This really has me psst! I`m thinking about cancelling my account since tank`n is what I enjoy the most.

Umm... because we got the 37mm gun option for the Il-2 a few weeks ago?

Vlad. I actually made 5 or 6 passes on you before i got your turret. And once i did get you i smacked the groud because of how step an angle i was coming in at you. A 37mm in the right spot is all it takes.

Yep, almost NO chance of taking a Airfield now with a tank attack.

Lazy tigers will now have to shoot and scoot. Instead of there drop the vh/ords and camp till their hears content.

Scooting did help vs the lumbering B25H and the Hurri IID.

But vs the Il-2 with it's 100 rounds and a high ROF, it doesn't help you much at all.

The answer is to take out ord and bomber hangars when doing tank attack on a field. I have also lost a couple of tigers to il2s but who cares. Impossible to spend all the perks anyway.

this whole thing is taking the tanking from the game.
GVing is being pushed out of the game. Why have tanks now?
