Title: ??????Tigers killed as easily as an m8????
Post by: legoman on December 17, 2009, 06:49:36 PM
I have noticed over the past 3 years that tigers are now not invincible, just the other day i killed one from 50 feet away from the rear. Also another thing is their endurance to bombs, when i first came to this game a tiger could take a well aimed 1,000 pounder to the top, now a 500 pounder can kill one easily. Just seems that AH modified the tiger to be less durable.    And i'm back for good, i'm not leaving at all i'm staying.  :x :banana:

Are you really under the impression that a direct hit or a near hit from a 500 pound bomb won't kill a Tiger?

Grab a jeep drive out to the tiger. Stop about 10 feet infront of him and release troops. You can comendear their tank. Shsshh this is a secret so don't tell anyone. :bolt:

I used to drop supplies at a V base drive out in a Tiger shut off the motor and kill panzer's while their rounds bounced off my Tiger. If someone damaged you with a luck shot just pick up a supply and keep on shooting. A panzer had to be pretty close to kill you and the T-34 76 almost couldn't kill you. Now I am getting killed by panzer's with one shot at ranges that would bounce off before. So I just use the M-4 Firefly I can lose 8 to 10 of them for the cost of a fairly worthless Tiger. Now I don't know if the Tiger is easier to kill now or I am just seeing better gunnery form the other side.
Ether the Tiger ain't worth my perk points to up one.

Yup... he's back allright.  But he changes his name more often than some people change socks.  Right now he is flying in MW as Alpha82... MUCH to the annoyance of Alpha81.  :rofl

A 500lb bomb direct on a tiger would kill it IRL - a near hit (like 50 feet) would not.
Bomb blasts @ tanks in general are ineffective to completly kill it.
here is a story about bombing pz divisions :

I was e-mailing an old vet recently.  He was a Sherman driver.  A couple of days into Normandy his tank shot a Tiger.  His shell bounced of the tiger.  The Tiger returned fire at a M3 and destroyed it but the tiger shell went through the M3 and took out the track on Mr Grays M4 Sherman.  The tiger went on to take out 5 other M4 Sherman's.  They called in a Typhoon to knock it out which the tiffy did.  Mr Gray didn't see the actual attack but said he saw the Tiger afterwards.  He said "It was opened up like one of our tanks."

Sherman (M4) has a fuel tank on each side.  The allies, as many know, called them Ronsons.  After the cigarette lighter manufacturer (One strike and it lights.  slogan).  Jerry called them Tommy cookers.  So when Mr Gray says "like one of ours" he must have meant burnt out.  Once a tank is on fire the on board ammo will seal the deal.

   I remember back when I first started that a tiger was your worst nightmare. Shells would bounce off this thing left and right, and I can remember that it took about 2000lbs of ord to kill one, unless you hit it almost directly with a 1000lb bomb, a 500lb bomb would not do much but track it.

   However, I don't think anything has changed on the tiger, I think people are getting better at fighting against them.
