after you upload the file it gives you a link to use in the post. There is no way for anyone to search that site to find a file named "no kill on tiger.ahf"

the 75mm APs are rubbish and the tiger is a beast. try it offline, you'll get the same.

I've done some tests offline when the M4's first came out. The best way to kill a Tiger is to turret him from behind or the side (it will take 2 rounds from VERY close up, say under 100yds to be safe), and track or damage his engine, and then roll up JUST behind him, and put a round down on the engine deck (the M4 is tall enough to do so). You will want to be almost touching the back of his turret with your gun barrel. Aim down at the engine deck, and fire an AP round.

If the tiger is very busy (say there is a buch of tanks defending a Vbase and you get in behind the base with the tiger at the back), or if there are several tanks in close proximity (you won't want to waste multiple rounds and get killed before you kill the tiger), you can do this without turreting him or damageing his engine.

As always, The question is: Which M4? ;)


And to the OP: Not only the M4A3(75) with it's low-performance M3 gun is badly suited to kill the Tiger from any range, but you are also made a big mistake when shootingat him: You had set up your own tank in a bad position, so that your rounds hit the Tiger at an angle, instead of hitting the armor flat. Thus you gave him additional protection.

One would think after so many rounds ricochet off harmlessly one would question whether or not they should try a different angle, range, gun, anything but running the same experiment over and over and expecting different results.

But then again, you are in that "v" squad.  :lol
