Face it Wehraboos, the Tiger I can't hope to match the sheer big-dick chad energy of the M4A2E8.
In the context of a battle what's the point of having a dozen Sherman crews with no tanks to operate and 1 tiger wreaking havoc?
Ian Clark
Sure it looks cool, but look at the angles. Absolutely abysmal sloping. The reason it's such a morbidly obese tank is because it relies on sheer armor thickness.
William Howard
Because that myth is stupid with Shermans in the 4th Armoured even enjoying a 3.6/1 KD ratio in their favor against panthers which were arguably superior to the tiger

The hugeness is part of why it's cool, user.

Sorry to burst your bubble but tigers were very rare on the western front
Didn't realise these threads still existed Not to mention the literal facebook meme Pretty sad shit, take a shower nerds
Sebastian Cook
I didn't make the thread about shermans vs tigers.
Ayden Gonzalez
Stop projecting Hans and go back to sucking off merkel
Brandon White
Apparently 2.2 tigers for every 1 Sherman tho some sources put it lower at 1.5 either way the Sherman was better
Luis Garcia
this is a low effort thread chang and poojeet cope threads are better
Nathaniel Gomez
They really are the bottom of the barrel as far as Jow Forums threads go. Worst of all is how repetitive they are, once you've seen one you've seen them all.

I'd like to help you with your bingo, but my grandfather only ever told me about that one Jagdpanther he saw before he died...

>80 tonnes, severely overweight, too fat to go fast
It only weighted 60 tonnes and could go pretty fast for such a heavy vehicle.
>Underpowered engine, like to catch fire
It engine had 515 kwk wich didnt made it underpowered at all.
It interlocking roadwheel system gave it a low groundpressure and its goed width to lenght ratio made it easy to manouvre. It had probably better offroad capability than the sherman.

>Hollywood and armchair historians love me
Ironic seeing how you got your information on WW2 tanks from world of tanks and warthunder.
James Richardson
Because 404:Tiger not found. Need something for the M4 to shoot at, you know
