ARE YOU KIDDING! They are WAY too easy to destroy. A t34/85 can take one out in one shot to the front from across the map in RO. That would have never happened in real life.
No, do you not realize how good of a gun the 85 is? The tiger is rolling coffin against the 85
Not quite. The Tiger used a lesser quality of steel as compared to the Panther because it was a later war vehicle. Yeah the 76 shouldn't be able to do anything against it's front from anything but insanely close range, but the 85 wouldn't have done too bad against it. In reality the Panther should be the German "tank to beat", atleast until and unless a Jagdpanther or King Tiger is added.high quality German armor

You've got that backwards my friend. The Tiger used the very best steel the germans had to offer. "The rolled ****geneous nickel-steel plate, electro-welded interlocking-plate construction armor had a Brinell hardness index of 255-260 (the best ****geneous armor hardness level for WW II standards). The Tiger I's armor was much superior to that of, for example the Panther, which armor had a much higher Brinell index, and consequently, was very brittle." http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/tiger1.htmThe Tiger really wasn't THAT good of a tank on the Eastern front atleast. Against Shermans it sweeped the floor with their burning hulks, but against a T-34/85 it wasn't nearly as good. The 88 should, however, be able to rape pretty much all the tanks in the game. But the armor wasn't as invincible as most think. Especially when you factor in the lesser quality of steel used as compared to the Panther.

It was still higher quality steel than the Russians, at least untill late 1944 it was. I do agree that the 88 should cut through everything besides the IS2 like butter though.
Even at these ranges it should pretty much rape an IS-2 shouldn't it? Besides a few custom maps the ranges really arn't all that far for the most part. Arad has the longest range of the stock maps and even then I usually end up in engagments where I can just drop the crosshairs right on the target without aiming above it or altering the range settings(I still am terrible at estimating ranges in this game)
Edit: I'll get back to you on the armor. It ws in one of my books that is stated this(which I would trust more then any website).
d'[RWTD said:Ghost[BCthc];219086']Afterburner, the reason the tiger 1's armor was so good was because it was an ealier war tank, when Germany still have good materials available. As the war raged on Germany had to "make due", if you will, when building their newer tanks.
You know what wasn't hard to knock out but is in RO? T34's!They are a little bit to hard to destroy... Wasn't that hard in real I think.
You don't know what the hell you're talking about.Not quite. The Tiger used a lesser quality of steel as compared to the Panther because it was a later war vehicle.
