Except that King Tiger drivers would be even more prone to freaking out on CH200 when their precious 100+ perk tanks die to "lame divebombing Stukatards!" in TT :D

WHAT?:huh whatever do u mean? No one bombs Tank Town...that just simply isnt done.

German 88mm FlaK36. Manned puffy ack. Indirect Artillery. Long range direct fire.

Hahahah they are whinning cause they can no longer sit out in the open between 2 hills in tiger leaving whole front side showing without worrying about being hit!! lol! Now you learned stop whinning and start finding cover like anyone in panzer and sherman is doing. Now you cant just sit there drinking a soda while rounds deflect off your tiger. oh and btw your still best off in a panzer... TT is basically just a way to get perks quickly and a way to get your name honored... for landing 2 kills in a gv wow. So hitech already did us a favor of making a map where you spawn so close togeather, this leads to people who like spawn camping, thats what happens when you dont need to spawn and drive.:lol

Wait a minute just hold on TrueKill.....Hempstead Tx? ....I'm from Prairie View, Tx 5 miles away if i'm thinking the same Hempstead :D
-
If you added the king tiger it would be to unfair. And lots of people would leave tt and it ould not be as fun. The only way to kill one is by getting like 3 shermans behind it or boombing it.

why no Italian armor?

No I think you are thinking of the French tank! Retreat full speed! We we misseur!
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

There are these things called "ground vehicles" in the game? Go figgure. Thanks for letting me know 5 years in.
-
That thing wouldn't even stand up to hispano fire!
Look at it, it's got frakking BOLTS holding the plates together! Any hit, even if it didn't penetrate, would pop bolts/rivets and the thing would fall apart.

No kev. It did have 5 forward and 1 reverse...
The turret was placed on backwards though so it always faced the enemy. ;)

The T-28 Super Heavy first thought about as a possible participant in the invasion of Japan. Shows the respect we had for the Japanese and their fanatatical fighting style. :confused:

such as some fine italian examples:
(http://www.comandosupremo.com/10525.jpg)
"This vehicle came into production on 2 Apr 43. Considered to be the best in Italian Self-Propelled Guns (SPG) it was armed with a 105 mm 25 Calibre howitzer on a M43 chassis. This chassis was the same as the M 15-42, but widened 7.9 feet (2.4 meters). The hull superstructure had 70mm of armor protection and the rest of the vehicles armor ranging from 15 mm to 50 mm.
A total of 494 were ordered, however, only half were built by the time of the armistice signing. The Germans utilized these vehicles after the Italian armistice of 8 Sep 43, and used them effectively against the Allies in Italy.

We should add that Italian armor!! Then I would have something to do when I bailed out of my plane. With all the bolts on it, I could run up to it with a wrench and take it apart.

the king tiger sucked, because its armor lacked manganese (germans lost the supply) there is a whole thread about that

French jokes never gets old i guess... *sigh*

I think the refusal to go into Iraq didn,t help but in retrospect it may not have been a bad idea.
The reality is we English hid behind the channel and were smug. The French and British were brave enough to declare war on Germany in defence of Poland.
Some countries were so brave they had to wait to be invaded before they would get involved (USSR) or wait until Germany declared war on them (???). How brave is that?
So only the British have the right to take the piss and then only a little bit.

France got sideswiped in WW2 they weren't expected all that blitzkrieg stuff. They were ready to fight all nice and normal and then Germany came out with a different style and France was like WHAT! :O They couldn't do anything but run which was the smart thing. One country Germany wouldn't want to mess with now is Israel. Hitler would of got his butt kicked now. Israel ain't takin no watermelon after that holacaust thang, i don't blame em.

The German HAXX0RS attacked France from an illegal means and did NOT get PWNT by the Maginot Line. :furious

I think I saw somewhere there are no confirmed front armor piercing of tiger II in battle. Almost all lost were due to breakdown or no fuel, abandoned and drestoyed by their own crew.

The armor sucked (alloy-wise), but as already stated, it was still way too thick to be pierced by virtually anything under battle conditions, and then only at suicidal short ranges where the TigerII's long 88L71 would've knocked out the opponent long, long time before (in case of a hit),except for the IS-III russian heavy tank.

Wow, the UK tries to ruin and embarrass Germany after not losing WW1,
they can then feel smug about dragging the US into their next war first.
What's next...blaming the US for not funding their Lend Lease stuff?

I would love to see the whole gambit of WWII GVs available at some point, as well as all aircraft.

Interesting interpretation of History from an Isolationist perspective. Smart of the UK to engineer US support through pearl harbour and the german declaration of war :aok
And no one should complain about lend lease it only took about 55 years to pay back:rolleyes:
-
But
France, Britain and really the USSR were heavily involved in empire and Germany and Japan wanted to play too. I think the US made a big contribution in the 20th century by promoting and supporting a less imperial appraoch and if the US hadn't stitched the UK up on lend lease the Uk would have just wasted the money on trying to hold on to India and the like.
So lets all be friends and play nicely :D

Armour sucked but was the best of the day. Just imagine it did not suck, (alloy-wise) of course, just imagine!
