Great discussion going on here, thought I might hop in. So, with the Tiger, what I find really weird is how the Panthers 75mm gun has better penetrating characteristics than the Tigers 88mm gun, which, if im not mistaken, is an adapted version of a Flak 88. But then when you look at the Rhino/Nashorn, Jagdpanther, Elephant, and King Tiger, which are all armed with a similar 88mm guns of some sort, they all bear equal penetration. How exactly does this work? I mean, sure, guns of varying power don't always result in the largest calibre weapon winning, but really? I really doubt weapons that were all adapted from the same original gun would have such a difference in penetration. Now for Axis armour in general, didnt they have out of the world crazy suspension systems way ahead of the era, so quite a few of their tanks had perfect firing accuracy when on the move? Furthermore MoW doesnt take into account the superior optics of German armour, which should impact how far they can see, maybe some form of ''clarity of vision'' or some other characteristic to be applied to the game. Also, I find alot of the time when it's green penetration, you fire, and you stare in dismay as the shot bounces off. I think thats just one of those One-in-a-Million shots, but then again, I did witness a T34/85 pump 3 rounds into the side of my KT at 20 meters, before being clobbered by a hastily summoned Nashorn... Three ''One in a million'' shots in a row? Anyways, Men of War is still by far the ABSOLUTE KING of all RTS games, in realism, fun, uber ownageness, playability, and even the somewhat befuddling mechanics at times, are still a large portion of what makes this, hands down, the best. Anyone that plays this and doesnt agree really needs to re-evaluate and look at what other games they play and how they compare with MoW. Furthermore, is anyone here a big fan of the Nashorn? I found it really effective AT, but huge problem I wasnt able to overcome was rapid micromanagement of it and other units at the same time, due to its paper armour. Lastly, I dont understand the Jagdtiger, its massive 128mm gun has worse penetrating capability than an 88, and alot of people say its worse than the KT, which overtime ive kinda seen, anyone here like it?

Noobs!
All tanks are good and have their disadvantages, and for only newcomers say there is an ultimate Tank in the game. And even the tiger is in the hand of a prof a good Tank but thats hard to play with tiger^^

Nope, not a fan of any of the Assault Gun vehicles, Stug, JagdTiger, Nash...any of them. As for the 88mm Gun, in RL the 75 does have higher penetration then the Tiger's 88. The King Tiger and Nashorn actually have a better, longer KwK43 or something..its quite a bit better. As for the Tiger in this game...its pretty bad. Its gun doesnt have Penetration much higher then a M4A1 Sherman 75mm gun.....at 50 the Tiger is like 92. At 50 the Sherman's is like 74 or so....Meanwhile the 76mm on the Brit tank at 50 is like 135 or something. Also, the Tiger, i have yet to hit one and have it NOT blow up.....IM afraid of that thing.....if its mine.... |

The tanks particularly the ones using medium / large guns like 85, 88, 122 and 152mm should be a lot more powerfull when they hit the side of tanks. Particularly such weak armored tanks like the panther. While it had good front armor even the 76mm of the T34 could already penetrate its side from I think 1000m. (mabye less I dont know it for sure, but at least the 85mm definetly can). Sadly I experience such situations as well with shooting the IS2, IS1 and KV85 flank with the Tiger I for example. Even the slightest angle can mean here issues which doesnt feel that believable to me even when thinking about it that the range of all guns is downsized for gameplay reasons the 88mm has a strong punch and should even on max distance (if you hit) penetrate always and do damage except of course for really bad angles. The only tank where I see taking damage to the side from the Tiger I sufficiently is the T34 in all its variants. Last edited by Crni vuk; 04-21-2010 at 11:14 PM. |
