Re: Tiger Tank too weak

This is so incorrect I had to correct you even though its an old post just so others can read it. The Tiger has much thicker armor than the Sherman. However a shell hitting a Shermans front from a perfect angle will have to penetrate almost as much armor as the Tigers flat front armor. But even so the Tiger tanks had far better Steel Quality and effectively a Tiger could not be destroyed by the Sherman cannon at all (only from the rear from very close) , the same goes for all Tank guns at the time , it wasn't possible to penetrate the Tiger armor unless using a very big shell like the Tigers own 88. Tiger tanks usually weren't destroyed in battle at all. They were abandoned by crew and blown up by them when running out of ammo and fuel. Infantry could not destroy it with something like a panzerfaust. The same goes for the Shermans front armor, a Panzerfaust wouldn't go through, but it would from the sides. If they had made the Tiger realistic only rocket tanks and planes would be able to destroy it in the game and dynamite but probably only by climbing onto the tank and putting it onto the weakest part, the roof.
