I’m sure they can damage it, but I doubt any will be able to one shot from the front.
Unless it has the same weak points as the tiger (I’ve only played Berlin axis so I wouldn’t know)
P yes, H fuck no, infact the only 2 things that can deal with the H turret is aircraft and IS-2

No and when??, P47 still shreds, use your damn bomb to kill tanks, HVAR for infantry
I agree with this, would be nice to have a better tank to combat, especially considering tank v tank US can’t do a thing (within reason) to the King Tiger H
M2 Carbine
BARs / Browning M1919A6

The British 76 (with it’s best round capable of penetrating up to 190mm of armor), cannot front pen the King Tiger H in it’s weaker spots (Not counting MG port, that’s a bad spot to consider in this situation)

Also in game it has the standard AP round with 171mm of pen not the APCBC with 190. So yeah, there is no way the firefly can even scratch the KT from the front. Spamming P-47 or P-51 (the one with 2 500lb) will be the only way to kill a KT in the grey zone.

The reason I say that is because many players think that front pen lol one shot xD is the only way to play
Now before people jump on me, yes obviously you have to defeat the tank one way or the other. Literally no one debates that.
But I find every little tactic is valuable. One shotting, disabling its parts, forcing the crew out. All that matters is that you are fighting the enemy vehicle.
Vehicle combat in a lot of ways is like a game of cat and mouse and it has a lot of different factors. Who sees who first, are there lots of infantry swarming the area distracting, etc.
Not to mention your fellow infantry and planes may also play a part in fighting enemy vehicles just as much as your tanks.
Now onto a separate point, how often do you guys encounter “gray zone campers? Now keep in mind we all base our views on our own experiences and that’s why everyone is different…in my experience I’d say I do not encounter campers much. In fact I would say the majority of the time vehicles are in play area or just even not far out of reach. I’ve had lots of matches where so many vehicles throughout the battle are practically on top of the objective. Now the reason I say that is because if the King Tiger was in the Western Front now I don’t think it would cause too much trouble seeing all the other Tigers and Panthers we deal with now
And with vehicles being relatively close, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard for something to roll around the KT and flank it’s weak points
Of coarse when we have Pershings they can better fight King Tigers, but let’s not act like other vehicles are useless or can’t make due
