change the perks on the tiger

[TheZohan]

i have seen the tiger not be worth as much as it used to be. i see them going down alot easier with the new tanks being added and dont think they are worth the perks they used to be.  the M-4s and T-34/85 seem to take out the Tiger better then when they wasnt in the game. making the Tiger not as Powerful as the Perks set for it.

I agree with Zohan... I have not uped a tiger to fight in since the day the sherman was added.......

A snail will be along shortly to throw up a chart that shows the Tiger's K/D ratio has probably changed very little, thereby not deserving a change in perks.

I'm not a snail, but there is something skewed with the perked GV's:



On average, users spend more perks to get a kill with the T-34/85 than they do with the M4, even though the M4 is more expensive.  To me that says the M4 is too cheap.  The Tiger is fine.

Note: this may be entirely due to the wonderful default skin of the M4, and the lousy "shoot-me" skins of the T-34/85 and the Tiger.

whats the time line on those K/D ratios.. i am curious is that for the month? year? etc

109 tour the tiger was 3.59
                t34-85 was  1.44
                sherman was 2.55

108 tour the tiger was 3.69
                t34-85 was  1.49
                sherman was 2.48

it may not be a drastic change but i see the tiger k/d getting lower and the sherman raising and the t34/85 staying about avg

My beef is that the M4 Firefly is so cheap for being as effetive as it is.  It can take %90 of the punishment that the Tiger can AND dish out %99 as much damage, or so it seems.

The only real place I see the Tiger performing well is when the ranges are 2800+, and how often is that?  Otherwise, the armor on a Tiger doesnt seem to hold up as it should and the gun is questionable.  *shrugs*

I'm pretty sure the chart is from December's tour.

[TheZohan]

the other thing too is since the m4 and T-35/85 have been introduced on average the k/d may be staying the same but the same amount of people upping are about the same, just now its divided over the 3 perked tanks and not just the 2

109 tour  m4 kills 46000
             t34 kills  14000
           tigers kills 10000

108 tour  m4 kills 50000
             t34 kills 16000
           tigers kills 14000

Pre (t-34/85)

99 tour  m4 kills 42000
         tiger kills  17000

98 tour  m4 kills  36000
         tigers kills  14000

pre (m4 and t-34/85)

95 tour        tiger kills  16000

92 tour        tiger kills  17000

Sherman cannot take near as much damage as a Tiger.  I think it is more a matter of 1-shot killing than anything else anyway.  The 17 pounder doesn't bounce as much as other tank guns.  Therefore, the Firefly doesn't have the same opportunity to die as a Panzer or T34.  

The same holds true for the T34/76.  Is it up-armored as well as up gunned?  If so, is it that much better on an identical chassis?

If you don't kill them on the first shot, they have a greater chance of killing you on their first shot by not dying to begin with.

Time to add the Panther!

[TheZohan]

the problem is that i see tigers being taking down alot easier then before the T-34/85 and M4 was brought into the game. when it was just the panzer and t-34/76 you would hit with 10 shots and not do anything.. now 1 hit from M4 and T-34/85 and Tiger is dead more often then not. thats my view its not as hard to take down with the new tanks

A more powerful gun hitting them will do that....

thats my point.. the tiger isnt as feared as it was and shouldnt be worth the perks it commanded when it didnt have the other 2 tanks present
