Re: Operational Discussion
I don't quite know why I am bothering here but it may intrest you.
I have never looked at the models before but checked a few.
IIIj IIIL PantherG Tiger
The game does a nice job of modeling diffrent guns both on penetration & accuracy the Panthers gun being top dog & is in fact more accurate than most modern guns having a long barrel & high velocity. German engineering.
I would say the Tiger armour could be increased by 1 if you take mantlet (120mm)
25 degree off vertical slope of lower front hull section & quality of the plate into account.
I would have given it 13 for the front turret as mantlet Brinell rating is 280.
Also penetration levels listed for ISU-122 from Jentz (unconfirmed by me) list need to be a lot closer.
Panther & L spot on so stopped looking.
Conclusion the game is near enough right generaly if you mod it by more than that rename it because its not a Tiger anymore.
