tiger armour question

[SmokinLoon]

I am bumping this because I did find such a picture, where if it wasnt killed it was at least incapacitated through the mantle.

One round hit the actual hole for the gunners sight. It went down hill from there.

Why do I have images of the sniper duel scene in "Saving Private Ryan" in my head???  ya know, the one where the shot goes right through the enemy sniper's scope?

Nice find.

Interesting how the side of the mantlet shattered from the impact.  From the previous discussion, I am not sure you could argue, then, that the mantlet over turret is really reacting the same as a solid 220mm plate would. 

In other words, if a round shattering a portion of the mantlet takes the turret out of action, then in "game terms" the mantlet armor is all you get (protection for the crew in real life is obviously a different matter).

Some would argue that a space in the armour is more effective then a solid block. With the pieces sitting there they may have been removed in the shop?
Not sure, but it is interesting that later versions of the tiger 1 moved to a monocular sight and beefed up that specific part of the mantle.

Yeah, looks cool but was proven impossible by Mythbusters? Basically the convex lenses deflect the round.

Hitting a Tiger on the numbers (side) of the turrent will normally knock out the turrent as well.

Lots of movies have sold that story-line clip, Sniper, Enemy at the Gate, and probably others.

There is no such thing as a "turrent."

A "turret," on the other hand, is that spinny thingy that sits on top of a tank with a gun sticking out of it.

I like the luck category myself as for sniping Carlos Hathcock a marine sniper in Vietnam shot an enemy sniper who was hunting him through his scope. and look up Michael Wittmann heck got took out by a rocket off of a typhoon.

And to think it's been upgraded since that SS was taken?

Come on back and give it another month

That's been debunked and most historians give credit to a gentleman named Ekins from Sherman Firefly.
