yes you are right the tiger is crap before this last patch they got it right now its to weak and the gun has no powerThe Tiger is a damn joke, and I like the god mode placed on the T34s.
An angled T34 was impervious to a Tigers main gun at 200 meters, but only if it was angled. This is a fact.
I thought only the earlier petrol-driven Shermans were called 'Ronsons'?
I read or heard somewhere, I don't remember which one it was a story about a Russian tank crew that were assigned to a lend-lease Sherman tank. After one mission they requested to be infantry because they thought their chances for survival were higher. Whether or not this story is true or not is still humorous. I certainly would prefer a nice uncomfortable pain in the ass T34 over a comfortable rolling coffin.
Errrr.......No.
A Tiger's usual engagement range is 1200m+
And were supposed to aviod combat at closer ranges, if possible.
And the crews reported single hit kills at 1200+m against T-34.
I don't want to spell this out, but I was kinda making a point about the game's armour modelling.
No more Russian tanks until the German ones are portrayed correctly.

How about, no tanks until tanks are portrayed correctly?

Correct. If I remember correctly, the Gi's nicknamed them Ronsons due to the fact that the Sherman had a fuel leak problem, and as such lit up for no apparent reason sometimes. Fuel leaked, vaporised and the gaseous fuel ignited from sparks, causing the Sherman to light up. This, of course, was a disasterous flaw when hit by a shell, since it often set the tank on fire when it normally shouldn't have.The GI's actually knicknamed the Sherman "Ronsons". The Germans named them "Tommy Cookers".
I personally feel due to the cold war, much has been done to cover up the true feelings of the Russians to lend lease gear. I mean really, the chruch3 for example, its gun had better penetration then the 76.2mm on the T-34s, and could even defeat a tigers frontal armor to a max range of 500m, though not exactly consistently, and probibly more effectively at 300m or so. Personally, except for speed and agility, it was a better tank, and I believe the churchill series has been called the safest tank to serve in during WWII.
