The Tiger I costs 50 perk points and has 15463 kills and has been killed 3669 times for a K/D ratio of 4.21/1 and 4.37% of the total MA kills.

The F4U-1C costs 10 perk points and has 5852 kills and has been killed 2315 timesfor a K/D ratio of 2.53/1 and 1.65% of the total MA kills.

The Me 262 costs 200 perk points and has 2677 kills and has been killed 477 timesfor a K/D ratio of 5.61/1 and 0.76% of the total MA kills.

The Me 163B costs 50 perk points has 1242 kills and has been killed 434 timesfor a K/D ratio of 2.86/1 and 0.35% of the total MA kills.

The Tempest costs 70 perk points and has 1168 kills and has been killed 262 timesfor a K/D ratio of 4.46/1 and 0.33% of the total MA kills.

The F4U-4 costs 50 perk points and has 736 kills and has been killed 241 timesfor a K/D ratio of 3.05/1 and 0.21% of the total MA kills.

The Ta 152H costs 20 perk points and has 520 kills and has been killed 266 timesfor a K/D ratio of 1.95/1 and 0.15% of the total MA kills.

The Spitfire Mk XIV costs 60 perk points and has 410 kills and has been killed 276 timesfor a K/D ratio of 1.49/1 and 0.12% of the total MA kills.

The Ar 234 costs 60 perk points and has 49 kills and has been killed 167 timesfor a K/D ratio of 0.29/1 and 0.01% of the total MA kills.

Look at the kill total on that Tiger I!

That's pretty good for a full priced perk unit.

(Note: The Ar234's unusual nature makes a K/D ratio or kill total irrelevant, though it is very rare)

tiger doing so well for a variety of reasons, first being a lot of people have a ton of gv perkies to blow, so they can use it recklessly and rack up some pretty impressive kills as people fall all over themselves trying to nail a tiger - a bet a lot of the kills came from planes augering, and some tigers camping spawn points.

give the tiger a few tours to find its natural place in the scheme of things.

Shane,

No, I don't think so. Looking at the Panzer IV H kill totals and the Ostwind kills versus Panzer IV Hs and Tiger Is, I think the majority of Tiger kills are Panzer IV Hs. It seems to me that the only reason the Panzer IV H has a negative K/D ratio is due to the Tiger.

I do agree about the the huge numbers of vehicle perk points people have and are being reckless with though.

The only reckless use of the tiger I have done is attacking factories and then ditching the tank there. All you need is five field captures with an m3 and you get it back. I have camped a few spawn points while the team shut down the vh and we stormed a field and yes I have been lucky enough to land some major kills. My k/d in the tiger with yet two weeks of the tour remaining is ten times the average. I suspect the tiger may go up in perk price. Im sure someone out there has a better k/d then I do with the tiger and the curve may be strongly skewed.

A rocket-armed Sherman would eliminate some of that Tiger curve, and would also help round out the GV stable. The Caliope Sherman had a big punch with its rockets, but lacked the armour that the Tiger had, making it sufficiently vulnerable to Panzers, M8s, and aircraft attacks.

[grumblegrumblegrumble] hmm i seem to have contributed several vehicles to this individual's k/d ratio. I'll stick to planes.
