Im not complaining mind you just stating I dont think its right. That said I really CANT complain because last month I was 92:1 (not everyone uses them poorly) in the tiger but it was a Firefly that got me at 1.6k to a simultaneous kill in the frontal armor that I do not believe he should be able to penetrate at that range.

3: Still tigers are poorley used from what ive seen.

The general lack of situations in Aces High in which a Tiger can be used to its fullest contribute to this. Not saying there are none, but if Aces High were the real world, the Tiger would never have been designed.

Ah have a long way to go comparing with a competing  mmorg in the tank war. Otoh airwar sucks bad in ww2online compared with AH2.

Yes, but I'd say our tank battles are much better than their air war. :)

But as in the description from the OP, there is no way in real life that a Firefly could score a one shot kill against a Tiger at 4700 yards.  Even with using APCBC APDPS rounds, the 17 pounder on the Firefly would not have sufficient energy to score a one shot kill even at a 30 degree angle.  Even at ranges beyond 2000 yards, I think the 17 pounder would be very hard pressed to score a one shot kill against a Tiger.


ack-ack

 I agree with what you said I was refering to te comparison in the game. The firefly seems to have much tougher armor then it should in real life and the Tiger's seems to not be as effective as it should. Also the guns seem to favor the Firefly. There should be no way the Firefly should be able to swap blows with a Tiger at ranges greater then 4000 yards and depending on the shot angle even less .
