Got the Tiger I, plays O.K. Don't have much for her, save for the Short 88, 2nd Engine and the upgraded radio. All from other tanks, however, I think I'm going to split time grinding the turret and L/71 between it and my Lowe, then I'm doing a 64k grind through 3002DB to Panther. Hopefully I'll have both the Tiger and the Panther, as they were in WW2, in my garage by the time I leave back for school next Thursday.



Also, sadly I'm giving up the Konisch/Gold rounds duo on my Vk3601 as it's getting expensive and I don't need to use it that much anymore. Better to get used to the L/56 and the Long 75.

See you out there!

Good luck with the stock tiger. The stock turret is a nightmare, and the short 88 is worthless against anything at, or above your tier.

Keep in mind that the video I posted is only a work in progress, just to show off the physics capabilities.
You won't be flying or turning 360 degrees, performing barrel rolls whilst shooting. I t looks awesome, word is if your tank rolls over, you will die, or if your tank lays on its side, etc etc.
Can't wait for this to implement.

As TaskForce said, stock is woeful, but that is like every tank stock.
Once you upgrade Maybach engine and upgrade to the long 8'8 gun, things are a little better in it.
I make a habit of not entering battle with a newly-bought tank, especially if I haven't any upgrades for it to mount prior.
I have a golden rule for newly-aquired tanks:
I'm playing heavies so this is most prevalent to them, but upgrade-wise, always always always upgrade gun. First and foremost.
Gun gun gun. Can't say it enough.




Also, sadly I'm giving up the Konisch/Gold rounds duo on my Vk3601 as it's getting expensive and I don't need to use it that much anymore. Better to get used to the L/56 and the Long 75.

Actually, I'm doing quite well with the Short 88 (was used to it on my Vk before I used the Konisch). Had a few 1.4k exp games but most are in the 800-1k range.

The one thing I don't like about it atm is that I can't go hull down since I'm pretty sure my mantlet is weaker then my front glacis.

Edit: Currently at about 9k exp into it, have 2 more to the turret then I've got the Gun. If anyone wants to platoon up I'm online now

How's this for new physics ingame. It's the Mines map, I lost 75% health because I couldn't get free.


We ended up winning, and I survived.

Bloody hell, I just had a match where a A-20 was right up my backside, when playing my Tiger 1. I was pot-shotting from the side of a cliff-face, with the chance of moving back and forth out and in from cover, like peek-a-boo.
Anyways, this retard A-20 came right up and stopped me from moving back. I lost 30% of my health. Asked him to move back he wouldnt. Asked him again, this time not so nicely, still no reply.
So, I swung my turret around and warned him i-ll 1-shot him. Still no reply, so I shot him, he shot back, only chipped the paint work, and I shot him again, killing him
/rant. Retards.

UPDATE: Less than 40 k for my KT!!! woohhooo. smashing this aweful grind.
