Please upgrade Tiger
« on: June 01, 2008, 06:30:55 PM »
The Tiger I is friggen joke of a tank anymore.  Please upgrade it or remove it from the game.  It is a disgrace in its current manifestation and not worth the perks it costs at all.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

The Armor: needs attention considering how many people get 1 shot killed at long range by panzers and M4s.

The Cannon:  is a joke.  Ive seen t34s, M4s and panzers take many direct hits and live, when the 88mm was at the time among the most lethal of cannons to be had.

Most lethal doesn mean "guaranteed kill".

And actually it also is the most lethal tank cannon in game.

And about that 1 shot long range kills by M4 and panzers I have to say two thing:

- Keep in mind the M4 is a firefly with actually one of the most powerful tank guns in WW2.
- People have a better memory for negative occurences - the few instances where people will in fact get killed by panzers at long range will be greatly overemphasized in memory

The Tiger still has a 5-1 K/D on the Panzer IV, and most Tigers did get killed by Panzer at close ranges for sure.
It's still the most potent tank in AH2. No other GV can klill as good at long & very long ranges, no tank has better armor and, NO gv can survive enemy bombardment as well as a Tiger (When alone and defending a port vs enemy air missions, I roll a Tiger, not Wirble - guess why...)

Id just like to see the Tiger get a measure of justice as the most feared tank in WWII----as it is, the M4 is a better than the Tiger in all ways other than climb rate over a hill.

prove it.
I have many times. I've yet to  lose a tiger if my opponent is more than 1.5 away. If a sherman is foolish enough to trade rounds at that distance he is toast.
ohh and i suck in gvs to boot.

This tour, your
K/D in Tiger 2.5 (5-2)
K/D in Panzer 1.0 (7-7)

Doesn't really look like "more luck" at a glance ;)
