Tiger 2 Sla.16 for an event vehicle

[CapitalLen]

If true that is a very odd balancing decision by the developers.

[Jade_Stern]

Because they are two types of shells.

[CapitalLen]

Yea I know, I’m saying it’s quite odd that the devs decided to give the two IS-2s different AP shells.

[Dregomz]

Added track armor wouldn’t block anything frontally as you can pen it’s armor by attacking at the bottom of first track armor as you just showcased.

Are you saying that sla 16 Tiger would always expose it’s upgraded side turret armor to block enemy shells? It’s just ridiculous it would never happen in a real match.

Tankers will be always facing your tank and never angle it’s turrets this ain’t War Thunder.

jeez i was just making a suggestion for a tiger thats barely improved for an event vehicle, dunno why this is so controversial lol

[Conscript_Joe]

I wouldn’t mind. As long as it comes with a very nice looking “skin” for once.

But for an event vehicle… what I’d like the most is:

Tiny pz1 tankette, ohohoh. I have a lot of fun with Soviets T60 tankette, I’d like that thing for axis.

Quite diametrically opposed to KT in TT I know but I love those funny tiny things, more than powerful monsters.

But…Why?..

[Willcario]

@Kilroy_was_HERE

But…Why?

i dont think the tech tree needs another tiger and i would really prefer something like this not be a $49.99 premium

Those guys might have served as freikorp in Baltics based on that flag(It was before ww2)

[Conscript_Joe]

I don’t know, to me it just looks like a tiny pirate flag on the tiniest tank of axis arsenal

I’d really just want a simple pz1. Infantry support is fun. Yes I know, it would be completely worthless against ALL other tanks in game, but I’d still drive it!

[Kilroy_was_HERE]

I’d rather leave the questions unanswered, because you won’t like them)

I’ve killed TIger II on perfect side of turret with T-34 STZ.
With those tracks this is impossible.

“Jumbo’s extra armor wouldn’t block anything frontally as you can pen it’s MG port on the hull”
Surely tracks aren’t big deal but this argument is pure

@Dregomz

No
70% of the time with I fight Tiger II it wasn’t facing me directly.

1. He’s aiming elsewhere, you better pray for the RNG shell normalization happens well on your first shot.
2. Any veteran knows there’s snail magic on spinning thing, you should always swing your turret .

How is that even relevant? BR3 won’t be facing BR5 any longer.

@Ianciafiamme-live

It seems to be an upgrade over Tiger 2 H

But it isn’t.

You don’t need slightly better engine and those tracks are pure gimmick.

Literally just the same vehicle.

Literally is not - if you played it in Wt you’d appraciate tthat extra 50 hp

They should add Tiger with 10,5cm instead. At least it actually provides something different

Ah yes - more non-existent vehicles - just what Enlisted needs.

and indeed a superior form of non existence since COULD NEVER HAVE EXISTED in the form it is in WT (which is what wold be used) - the gun doesn’t fit into the turret!

[MR_87]

@Adamnpee

won’t be facing BR5 any longer.

KV-1(zis-5) have 96 / 82 / 22 (APHE) pen on BRIV
Tiger II turret have 80mm base armor facing slightly up

[Jade_Stern]

I have already told you in the most detailed way, even so, do you still have to continue pretending to be confused? Some axis players are really shameless, they will never bring any help to balance.

[Jade_Stern]

@Adamnpee

Didn’t you see the screenshot I just took? Rotating the turrets is sufficient to allow Tiger 2 to resist IS-2 (1944), but without these tracks, the side would have been pierced.
The special turret shape of Tiger 2 makes it almost afraid to rotate the turret, and these tracks will alleviate this problem, it’s that simple.

HMM you sure , you know the 8,8 cm didnt fit inside the panther but the idea was to just turn the gun upside down while 8,8 panther isnt the ideal example of this , the ideal example would be Firefly which fitted a 17pdr by flipping it , also 10.5 cm was meant for lowe which had more or less same turret space that mean 10.5 cm could have been used in Tiger II
Concept for 10.5cm Tiger from Krupp

same thing for 88mm panther though you were forced to reload the gun in specific way

and here how it was meant to be reloaded

You shouldn’t expect a BR3 tank to destroy BR5 tanks every time. With such crappy cannon your only real choice would to be flanking and shooting at the hull. How about you play with BR5 tanks like T-34-100 that make Tigers explode one after another.

@MR_87

“Jumbo’s extra armor wouldn’t block anything frontally as you can pen it’s MG port on the hull”

Don’t be stupid tracks are just 30mm of additional armor which is nothing while Jumbo has double of it’s armor when compared to the M4 Sherman, there is a reason why it’s a BR4 tank not BR3 like Sherman 75mm.

If it’s not facing you then it will be easy prey as it’s entire side will be exposed and even if you ricochet you will be able to destroy him in the next shot. He will most likely not able to be see you on most maps unless someone is marking you. First shot advantage is massive in Enlisted so use it for your advantage and don’t invent some imaginary scenarios as always you are Soviet mains. Nobody is swinging their turrets as it’s not a WT and will only destroy your breach or still 1hk your ass anyway due wonky shell physics.
