The whole reason I almost never play armor is because certain people think they are entitled to tanks and they will camp there all day if they have to. I would like to try playing the Panther or King Tiger, but if I ever tank I'm usually stuck with whatever dredges are left.

For that reason I have more respect for some of the weaker tanks in the game. It takes a lot of work to get kills with a Panzer II in a tank battle when your fighting someone who can often one shot you.
Tanking is, like infantery combat or dogfighting, an art. Their are 3 things i only do on FH2.2=Tanking, Rambo Brengunning and Lumberjack  PIAT"ing

Now what I actually wonder is why the King tigers turret rotation speed is actually so slow.

Quote
High speed turret traverse was provided by a hydraulic motor linked to the main engine; a full rotation could be achieved in nineteen seconds at engine idle, and inside ten seconds at the maximum allowable engine speed

It should be as fast as a Sherman, like it was in FH1. Right now it seems like it has the rotation speed of a tiger 1 which is NOT ok.

It's ported from FH1, maybe that's why.

Haha, being a Betatester is awesome. I got all the heavy tanks (KT and the Tiger on Lebisey) on the first days of 2.2, when nobody exept the betatesters know when they will spawn :D . Thats enough for now, Panthers, StuG and P4 will do the same job. Also you have more fun sitting in a "weaker" tank, because you just dont have to sit in one corner of the map and wait; you have to think tactical.

Oh I love the Stug, this little fella kills every single ally tank in one shot. Except for the Churchill tank, but I use the powerful rounds for tanks like those.

I had a fun time trying the Panther the other night. Talk about destructive, I roasted a number of Shermans and Stuarts who were essentially helpless. One guy on Allies complained that there was nothing on the map that could stop us. :D

My only gripe is that when I was repairing it some asshole named Hulkthegiant stole it. Some people have absolutely no class at all.

LoL yeah happened to me too, except it was a Tiger tank. Not only that, but the asshat went into a hill and the tank suffered from those weird engine problems and went twirling in the air and the guy ditched out like nothing. I just have to tk the idiot.

That's the irony. The guy who stole my Panther managed to get it roasted about a minute later. An impressive feat considering the fact that the enemy had no armor in range.

could it be that the picture of king tiger on the websites is not the same texture like in the game? The tank on the picture have much more textures...

The Tiger II has almost 4 Texture Variants.

Atumn, Standard, Winter, and a 1945 Skin.

Some of their skins are from the Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502

The Tiger II was ported from FH1, and the Winter Skin came with the Tiger, so theres no need to make a new one.

I remember i saw that skin countless of times before.














Or its a secret?
