Don't start. King Tiger will own all tanks.

I wonder how long it will be till an M4(75) kills one  :confused:.

So HTC wastes there time creating a tank that is currently NOT needed within the game, instead of modeling the m3 lee, PnzerIII,Cromwell, Churchill, or any other Early War tank that IS needed in the game more than this "king" tiger?

Wow, way to really use your resources HTC. i wonder more and more each day why i pay $14.99 a month to play this game... :bhead

How is the Panzer III more needed than the King Tiger? By who's judgement?

Lusche, I'm the one camping spawns with M8's. I've killed a panther with one. Since the M8 isn't upto the job, I've gotta use the next most idiotic thing out there. I shall turret the Tiger, track him, and then procede to fire rockets from the caliope down onto his engine deck.

Hehe... this will not be a tank to stand off and "duel".  You will lose in all tanks other than another King Tiger.  

It has the same main gun sight as the Tiger (different trajectory), so nothing new there.  Reload rate should be about the same as the Tiger, too.  The projectile is the same, just a bit bigger case and more velocity (88mm Kw.K.43 L / 71).    

Speed should be right around 22-23 MPH, and it could carry 80 rounds of ammo.

Compare the GV list for late-war vehicles, with the GV list of Early War vehicles.

or hell, even Mid-war gv's with Early War.

The early war gv/plane list deserves to be filled out way before more is added to late/middle.

Didnt your momma teach you to say "please" when you want something?   :)  The KT isnt what I would have picked to add, but is has been added so have fun with it.  I was hoping for a Panzer IV remodel.  :D

EW is an empty arena, and will continue to be if you add a Panzer III. Similar goes for MW. About 95% of the playing time happens in LW arena. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a few more "light" tanks, but you are trying to sell off your  personal preference as an absolute benchmark ;)

The only people that are going to have fun in it are the ones able to find a nice little spot to spawn camp with it.

Like i said, EW is seriously lacking in all aspects, and yet more not-needed junk is being added to LW.

I used to love flying in EW when it had a (small)Dedicated crowd, but now barely anyone goes in there, because HTC has abandoned it (except the p40), which sucks.
