How about giving a Tiger it's stripes?

Tigers are fine. Just don't suicide attack with em. Make sure you keep good range and your front armor facing the enemy.

Had a tiger that killed 12 tanks in multiplayer. And human opponants are normaly better then the computer.

I'm sorry, but in the one board of experience i've had with the Tiger in this game, their lethality was not reflected a bit. All three Tigers i had were put in effective positions and ended up getting destroyed very easily. They are most definetely not worth the extra 20 points you have topay for them. The thing is, they should be an extra 20 points, but they should reflect that 20 points in their strength and i did not see that.

BTW, are there any King Tiger's in the game?

My problem with this game realism wise is the over the top strenghthening of the USA forces,ive found that the Tiger does preaty well against the USSR tanks & British forces,as you would expect,but i played a multiplayer game vs the USA,& they took out ,Tigers,King Tigers,Jagdtigers,& Elephants with apparent ease,which is just crazy as if you look at the real war in the west German armour killed 3 to 4 allied armour peices for every one of there own,& then most of the german armour taken out was due to air attack or artillary not allied tanks or SPG's so its stupid that they have done this.

Also ive noted some people have been using this method of taking out big tanks by rushing jeeps at tanks,is it possible to throw nades or anti tank explosives while in a jeep i wonder,cos that's what seemed to be happening.

I agree 100% the u.s. tanks etc, are far too strong vs historical proof..



According to actual u.s. sherman tanker's combat accounts in ww2, they would send 5 sherman's against a tiger, hoping to outflank it and shoot it in the rear...usually losing 3 to 4 sherman's in the process which is why it was so feared...the game's sherman's are too well armored against german heavy tanks in the game and U.S. sherman guns especially the low velocity 75 mm which from their own eye witness accounts were useless against the heavier german tanks . There is a reason the german's called them tommy cookers. Never mind the fact the ammunition store would explode if a HE shell even went off near to the rear of the tank let alone a direct hit ( before using wet storage system and external welded armour patch upgrades. Still with all this, the sherman never was a match for a tiger etc, then came the tiger II. You can't say the game is realistic but at the same time helps to stop little kids from crying about tiger's being actually realistic by making sherman's equal , it's a huge contradiction, and it's not just the tiger. In the end the game is not a realism based game it's a arcade based game.....

They are puting this beast Tiger I down to Sherman level which is a shame, too bad. I was very dissapointed when I saw it in MoW but in Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2 its realistic!
