change the perks on the tiger

[Cajunn]

It never says the 17-pounder hit the Tiger.  It never says the Shermans hit the Tiger.  The Tiger apparently hit only one of the three Shermans it engaged from 3,000 yards.  Or, is the Tiger's gun is over modeled begause it only killed one Sherman from that distance?

I've always believed we get too many hits, let alone kills, at much to far a range.  Notice the unsuccessful Shermans from 500 yards.  Point blank in AH2 terms.

I agree with this, I for one have figured out how to set way beyond the range markers in a Sherman and  consistently take out turrets or even kill the Tank set in AH. And IMO this shouldn't be, at these distances which or way beyond the 3200 yards the shells should be bouncing off the armor of all the Tanks in the set. I don't think plunging fire was a tactic used in tank warfare and in essence this is whats happening in this case.

definitely need to increase the perks on the sherman.It would be appropriate if it was the mass produced version but it aint

OK so I just reread what it said.  Never really says which tank hit with the rounds.  At first I thought the tiger hit the firefly...now it looks like the firefly hit the tiger.

Read it one more time.

There was no Firefly involved in this encounter.

3 Shermans, 1 Tiger, 1 17 pounder anti-tank gun.  The Shermans engaged the Tiger.  Tiger Kills one Sherman.  17 pounder set up 3,000 yards away, engages Tiger.  Tiger turns face on (90 degree turn) to anti-tank gun.  Facing the threat with it's strongest armor.  Tiger is hit 2-4 times, ineffectively due to the great range.  Shermans move back up to within 500 yards of Tigers flank and engage.  Tiger withdraws.

What I gat out of this is:

1.  Tiger kills one Sherman from 500(?) yards.
2.  17 pounder anti-tank gun is ineffective from 2,400 yards against the front armor of a Tiger.
3.  A (regular) Sherman's gun is ineffective against, or missed, a Tiger's flank from 500 yards.

Ahhhhh says the blind man....guess I was assuming the HV 17lbs gun was a firefly.

17 pounder is the firefly mod

17 pounder is the firefly mod

Yes.  They took an anti-tank gun and put it in the modified turret of a Sherman to make it a Firefly.  That is a very astute observation on your part.  Thank you.
