Charge the armor-piercing. Maybe the tank should also be machine-gun capable?

No need to beat up on the OP, They were not aware of the recent change.
It’s an honest question seeing as how you could take out Puma’s easily with HE just a week ago…
At the same time someone had the nerve to write “oh my god a Puma can kill my jumbo” when the player didn’t even have to switch projectile types, lol.
And the same people suggested players on German tanks “just aim, dude”.
I didn’t know it was that bad. Well now I’m doubly sure that certain people are so cocky that they think the best stuff of their faction is weak.

Oh dont pretend that you havent been crying about Jumbo’s even before the HE change was made last week … You Whera’s have been crying about the Jumbo for months now.
But this is not the thread to cry more phony tears… try this one

Normandy is a cesspool of people like that.
There’s a reason I rarely touch it.

That’s okay, we’ll see how jumbo drivers react when a panther or a tiger shows up.
P.S.They’ve already started crying, even though there’s no tank yet.
Jumbo is hardly a Tiger or a Panther. Those tanks are a different league.
All 5.3 in WT. Hahaha.
But pz4 h 4.3
tiger 1 E, the more likely tiger 1: 5.7
panther A/G, panther d is eastern front only: 5.7
jumbo: 5.3

Oh and I can hear the cries of anguish now when they give the Sherman and Jumbo an M61 round.
not really, Tiger and panther is pretty much the same except panther can barely penetrate jumbo frontal armor (in WT it’s yellow indicator iirc) while tiger cant at all (not about the gun port, okay)
then take Tiger H1 or panther D anyway because the game js already inaccurate, problem solved? there’s literally no difference between H1 (5.3) and E (5.7) (except some minor stuff) while A (5.7) is basically just D (5.3) with faster turret traverse just that’s it
This is not Warthunder there are way more factors than just tank v tank.
That aside. With the current dmg model in place those tanks have same front armor as Jumbo except of having a needle for a gun they have a hammer. They will one shot each tank on the field with HE except Jumbo front. Sounds fair to get back at those pesky Americans. How dare they have a tank that is stronger and balance the game out. Fuck em lets wipe the entire balance out of the window so the Germans can have vengeance.

Haven’t read the whole thread so maybe this has been covered - Played a couple of games on Normandy and while the HE does nothing I found the AP to actually work vs Puma - so IMO that is an improvement.

I sincerely hope they get their tiger, it will be slow and cumbersome. They were not made for Urban fighting which is what we have most in Normandy …
They will be easy to flank and easy to det pack just like the Jumbo … Poor Wehra’s just cant catch a break

The worst thing about the tank discussions in this game.
Tanks don’t exist in a vacuum, just like how tank fights don’t happen over a flat open plain where both tanks see each other at the same time and maneuver from there.

Sadly they are going to get the Panther - which will of course lack all the problems that made it not as good as wargamers are led to believe it was.
However it will be very large and clumsy despite having ample power, so will have some problems on some of the Normandy maps, and the weak side armour should be fun for M5’s to poke holes in as they run around it…
realizing enlisted is a game would explain a lot tho
A game where, as I said, tank combat never goes down without outside intervention or without one player having some sort of initiative on the other.
This is exactly why the Puma can threaten the Jumbo.
