Oh well, let the tiger tank to the Firefly's. They will take care of those putty tats

Tiger should still be superior and pwn firefly if they are both in the open without cover.

Not really. Since they both can 1s1k eachother generally, armor means nothing. Sherman is thus faster and rotates its turret faster aswell.

Erm I'm not sure about that... I think a Tiger would be a much tougher nut to crack than a Sherman. Especially the later Normandy versions.

The 17 pounder can blow apart 140MM armor at 500m  and 131MM at 1000 meters with just standard APCBC.The tiger had 110MM armor

so yes, Armor doesnt mean anything.On this term, he who fires first, wins

[Schneider]

One major disadvantage of the Sherman Firefly during its first few months in service was its lack of an effective High Explosive shell for its main gun, which meant Firefly crews faced much the same disadvantage of British tank crews some two years earlier in the North African Campaign when their 2 pounder armed tanks lacked an effective means of dealing with soft targets such as anti-tank guns or dug-in infantry.

I wonder whether this will be reflected.

Also, remember, the Firefly will be able to take out any german tank, but any german tank can knock out it   Everyone forgets the lowly Panzer 4.

[Schneider]

And my lovely, lovely StuG...

[THeTA0123]

But for the allies having a tank wich can knock out ANY german tank with one shot, makes that tank the N1 wanna have tank on the allied team!

[Meadow]

Such a shame the Americans didn't use them...

[Switzer]

Those tanks are sexy and I'm a German military hardware fanboy.

3:24........I am almost out of beer!  Send Heineken ASAP!

[Fuchs]

LOL! I'm not sending you poison. Buy some quality beer. Hertog Jan maybe.

[Torenico]

Iz teh zpam!


Talking about the Firefly, i always feared it in FH.7, i always tried to ambush it since it was a big Target, JagdPanzer IV was epic for that job, if i could get a Tiger II would be better.


We need both thanks in FH2!







Btw, the King Tiger Texture is damn Awesome, im talking about the FH1 one, i think you can import that model from FH1 to FH2, i think it needs the Coding, but a big part of the "job" is done.

Just look at this beast..

[Thorondor123]

But it should have the turret of Krupp's initial design, insted of the production version :P

[Toddel]

Porsche Turret! not krupp
