The Tiger could get worked on but I took 3 Jagdpanzers and a Hetzer against a T34. 75mm could penetrate and a 88mm couldn't from the front. The 88mm bounced off like a 5mm bullet, and the 75mm went all the way back to the engine from the front blowing up the T34. So yeah its silly, but as long as I win and the game is realistic in most places I'm happy. Don't forget the turret that got blown off and knocked out a jeep.

If the numbers would be really realistic the Tiger should have no issue to destroy the T34 of sherman even on max distance. Yet in MoW it does sometimes. Hell even the Panzer IV for example could crack the hull of the T34/85 from almost 2000m in any direction. In MoW you will see quite some richochets. Its obvious that some tweaks have been done for the sake of gameplay (I doubt most allied nations would have a nice day with realistic penetration numbers and ranges). The game might show some great details and a somewhat a complex damage model. But I dont think its fair to call it realistic as I think the word realistic should be more left to games trying to be a simulation. And MoW is not a simulation.

the Panzer 4 could kill a T-34/85 frontally from 2km? really? it had 60mm/sloped armour, which is not bad. I think allot of the shots would've ricochetted.

Pz4 and Tiger 1 didn't have seriously sloped armour though as far as I know
ahh when will you people learn?

There are 3 "statistics" and unit values for MoW. They are all different.

1. Single player.
2. Editor.
3. Multiplayer

So editor and multiplayer values aren't the same man

Yes it could from any angle. We are talking about the Panzer IV H which got the new 75mm KwK 40 L/48 where the Panzer IV F and some G had the KwK 75mm 40 L/43, the Panzer IV E had a very short 75mm. The KwK 40 L/48 was a huge improvement regarding earlier versions with the armor of the T34/76 in mind. And thus it had no trouble to penetrate the T34 from any angle up to 2000m (aprox). And since the T34/85 had only a new turret but the same body like the T34/76 it should be easy for the Panzer IV to crack the hull even on long distance. Only the Turret was very well armored considering the fact it was a design with the KV85 in mind if I remember correctly.
