and the A6M7 you found out never went into service because of BAR.

I  highly doubt  the Bar decided to keep the  A6m7 out of combat.

you just prove my point that you dont know much about WW2, A6M7 never went into combat like BAR stated, "panzer gun can knock out a tiger with 1 hit" would love to see this happen. HE177 sucked in design terms...not really, but failed in combat do to bad engines etc...

to be fair it is possible to kill a tiger in 1 shot with a panzer... you just have to be point blank....most tiger drivers wont let that happen so it is possible...just not logical as by the time u get in range you will probably die...

and as for the 177 its design was not bad...but its time of release was a major factor in its performance from what ive read low fuel supply kept alot of them grounded same with lack of pilots and the pilots they had were not the most experianced

When the tiger2 first came out and they were cheap I destroyed 2 back to back with one shot from a panzer.  I shot their side armor with very little deflection from 600-800 yrds out.  It can happen.

What I didn't do was shoot from a long distance at a high deflection into the front and then cry that the someone cheating or that everything is modeled incorrectly, when I cant get a kill.
