No idea, but if it was raised, probably for having an amazing gun.

maybe if you kept an eye on it for a couple of days instead of running to the boards to complain about it you could have figure out the answer yourself  :D

The cost of a perked ride goes up and down depending on the number of players on.

The perk cost was raised to half of that of the Tiger. I believe they're 15 and 30 base cost respectively.

Yes but I wouldnt see what it was raised for they lower the damage it can take and raise the perk price.Respectively the Tiger is fine and sherman was fine.All that is worth the price on the sherman is its 17lbr.

The Firefly used to be far too cheap to begin with. If they had not changed the amount of damage it can take, the new perk price would have been still too low.

Yeah and looks what it has done.Tigers upped we dont have one to kill the Tiger.No one wants to up a pathetically over priced tank.

It's about time they jacked up the cost.  Did the T-34/85 get a bump as well?

You can't judge anything from just two days of subjective observation right after some new toys have been added to the game. Wait, untill we can analyze the numbers in next tour.
And right now, most people will simply jump into one of the new M4s simply to try them out.

:huh i dont know about you but im quite happy that i can finally dominate the field of battle again in the Tiger tank even if not to the extent that we could in AHI. today i took out a nice 12 tanks (one of which was a tiger, and another a firefly) and 1 plane with pintle in a Tiger and could have killed much more if not for my idiocy of bringing 50% AP. I'm happier than ever before... you're going to see alot of racked up perk points used again due to the shermanVC pre-version 2.19 semi-domination of the battlefield being near nonexistant now and im going to be right there doing so. Tiger's will stalk their prey again... :)

just to add to the topic at hand, i already know of a bunch of drivers that prefer the M4 over the existing panzer (one of which being me). The in game M4s seem to be much more feasible than the pnzr and more accurate... in fact i think that the M4 75mm's eny value is too high. the 75mm HE and the calliope can destroy an entire V base and alot of airfield targets. Yes the 75mm cannon is weaker than a .30 caliber round but with its HE power why is it eny 35? i'd say stick it at 25 with the 76mm or 30.
