Default Re: Operational Discussion

Good grief yes there are better guns & I trust the game model I checked stuff I could get data for easily to check Tiger for you, Then checked its stats were in keeping with similar vehicles, they were.
If you want to push it give it 13 on both fronts but the Panther is the better tank faster accurate high penetration stronger front hull its only weakness is its not a sqaure tank like the Tiger.
The Tiger is unusual in that it has very high all round protection so if want to be gamey buy some & use on flanks.

I am not sure but I believe the Tiger was the first tank designed from the ground up as a tank killer because the Germans found a need. Probably started designing after ran into French stuff & MatildaIIs. Because it was an early design quality of parts was paramount as its a flat sided & insanely expensive tank to produce.
Then the Russians came along with the T-34 & sloping armour & design philoshpy changed for ever as the same thickness of armour is far more effective at an angle even if you ignore the increased ricochet effect, the Panther was born.

I am going to bow out of answering your posts now unless you specificaly title to me.
But if you do want help advice think before ask me your last post for instance.
Do you not think if I am looking up real life data I might just have an inkling that there are better guns out there & thats whithout defining a better gun for what exactly.

Please dont come back at me saying the Tiger was the better tank or some such unless you can justify it. From ease of use playability you do not have to worry about its flanks & thats about it.
Oh if you had to put 1 of them in a confined enviroment like urban I would choose the Tiger for its all round survivability & so as not to squaunder the Panthers FC acc
