come on already when will a tiger be taken up and have some reliability against the 1 bomb wonder, or the low level 400-500 off the deck bomber that lobs a bomb. I'm not talking about getting directly hit either. Too many times certain players always seem to magically kill and in return can't be killed. Something must be up and skill has nothing to do with it. This just ain't right at all.

are you implying something is rotten in denmark?:huh

I can never kill tigers....unless i use 2000 lbers.

Oh, COME ON!
The tiger is practically indestructable anyhow, and now you want it even harder?
Sunday night I sat right in the middle of an enemy base shooting up buildings (VH was down)... 3 aircraft augered trying to kill me, I lit one up with the pintle and he ran away smoking... Dropped about 3 hangers... Two of the AA guns were beating on me and only managed to knock the treads off.
The VH came up and I killed 1 panzer and then... FINALLY this 'one bomb wonder' killed me. 20 minutes I sat there under constant attack from the AA, and guys throwing bombs at me... with no treads at a dead stop.
Tigers are plenty tough.
Check my Vehicle score, its all there, I hardly drive vehicles anyhow, so its easy to see how it went.

If you are on MG position in Tiger when bomb hits, die eassy. Always go to position 1 inside and keep moving, if you hear bombs coming,
Tigers have a soft spot; tracks.
2 passes of concentrate cannon fire in IL2,on the same track disable the tiger,
-
Unless it's changed in the past month or two, 5 good shots to the top from good angles from a HurriD will kill one.

This is something I didn't know -- your position in the tank affects how easily you are killed? Does this mean you should always avoid gunning at those divebomers with the pintle gun?
If position in the tank matters, then does that mean if I am in a turret and my turret is hit, I am more likely to die than just have the gun disabled? Or if I am driving, a hull hit will kill rather than hit the engine?

Welcome to the wonderful world of GVing. You obviously did not read En4cer's 10 Risk Rules of GVing.
Rule #2: Expect to die in a Tiger Tank at the hands of the enemy via a single bomb drop.
If you accept this, your feelings of frustration, anger, and let down will be far less as will the desire to explode your joystick against the wall.
:aok

was a discussion about this on BB last year, some guys said, the bomb kills the driver unprotected by armor in MG position, like in airplane pilot killed in healthy plane,
Im my experince in Tiger that must be true, seems to be modeled like that, i take much more bombs b4 die in "inside armor",position

This is false. It dosn't matter what postion you are in.

Have to try it. Me prefers Glennfidich Ancient Reserve (18 years). Cleans my bagpipes out good too. :)

Thanks HT, I always wondered if that make any difference or not.

I kill tigers almost daily with an 500kg bomb from a d9. Thats 1100 pounds. I think 1100 pounds of explosives would kill any armoured vehicle.

Nah, I used to shrug them off in my Anderson Light Armored Urban Assault Vehicle (my 1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham with its "economy" 6.6 liter engine). :) Ah, those were the days -- driving into San Diego and waving off the fighter planes that mistook my mighty land yacht for an aircraft carrier. . . . I used to be able to turn sharply, and the US Geological Survey seizmometers would register earth movement.

lol, last night defending a v-base in a tiger sitting on the road between the maproom and ammo bunkers in comes a F4U heard the whistle and then I'm in the tower. I up'd an osti drove out to where I was parked and the SINGLE bomb crater was off to the right rear of where I was positioned. The victom of yet another 1 bomb wonder. Conrats Brentlo to u and ur amazing kill.

soon as I up a tiger it's goodnight,

I had 22 kills in a tiger one time thought the base was going to turn when the cap fell apart and it all went pear shaped.
Several people tried kamikazing me with rockets but i decided to leg it.
took 130mms 3 ju88 runs to bomb me succesfully and only after a SPIT16 !!! de tracked me in one side on pass.
That tank took such a beating from bombs/ tank shells / ack hits etc etc.
How can a spit 16s cannon de track it ???
Does damage accumulate or was it the fact that i went through the war and it had been weakened?
My tank experience seems to be very random in regards to how many hits it takes to kill tanks.

A Tiger is tough enough to kill. Stop complaining.
A 1000lb egg or even a 500lb egg for that matter shuold destroy a GV, no matter the type. Think about it...500 POUNDS of BOOM. (or 1000 POUNDS).
Think about what would happen to your car. And then armor your car and put it on tracks. THe egg will still mess it up good.

You DO realize the concussion of a 500lb bomb will KILL YOU up to about 100meters in RL, correct?
Imagine yer "L337 Tigerkampfwagen" strolling along and a 1000lber craters about 50 feet from you. Sir, you'd be dead.
If you DON'T WANT TO LOSE PERKS, DON'T SELECT A TIGER.

I would imagine the concussion from a 500 pound bomb, even a 200 pound bomb from near hit would pretty much render your Tiger useless. They were tough vehicles to be sure but hardly bomb proof.

lol yep it must be spring break and grade school is out. assume all ya want, imply all ya want, mis-read, mis-state, it does not negate the initial post and it's query. Real Life is not AH so all the retorts of a 500lb bomb visa visa vie is mute as well as the imature comments of "stop crying blah blah" lmao. I imagine some of you have never even been around that ordnance when it has been utilized and some have so spare the expert opinions on what it can and cannot do with regards to real life scenarios. Been there got many t-shirts.
throwing fishing pole back for another cast! same bait seems to be working just fine ..........

I pretty much figured that out from your posts.

I use a F6f alot to Gv kill. Salvo 1 with 500's and salvo 3 or 6 with rockets. Tigers are tough you need to be very accurate. Killed Tigers with salvo 6 rockets to but thats more luck than judgement.
f6f is steady as a rock to rearm and gets the 3 k diving alt fairly easy. The method of 1 drop Tiger killing is get to 3 or 4k nose down........err wait up a mo. I spent years learing this and I ain't blobbing it. You'll use it on me:D
