Get lucky? I got it once.
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

You should change sides and play as the Brits on Goodwood, Sherman VC is much better ;)

I think I only drove it once, for ten meters. I hopped in, realized "wait, this is not a Panther, I'm in a tiger II! Damn it! and bailed to get some other transport from the main base. Some other person tok it right after me.  Luckly the Panther respawned so I was a happy camper. :)   And no I don't camp for vehicles, I spawn, wait perhaps 5 seconds and then move out.

I took a Panther or a Tiger over the Tiger 2. Too slowly, too noticeable. But the armor and gun are unmachable right now in the game. Lets wait until the Jagdpanther :D

I see no problem with waiting for my tank to respawn. Now just sitting in the main waiting for any tank to spawn is a different story.

No, I just wub my Panther.  <3 I'd make sweet love to it, it's lamost to me what a lafette is to VM...  that the Tiger II (and Tiger) is more of a magnet to both n00bish Germans and enemy AT forces is a nice extra though. :)

Wait, what? You will wait for "your" tank (of choice) to respawn, which could take a while, but you won't jump into the tank that spawns fastest?  Having one (and usually more) people wait around for a (particular)  vehicle to spawn is the whole problem of "spawn whores". Having  a signifcant paart of the team hang about doing nothing to contribute to victory because they only wish to use such and such vehicle/kit/whatever. That a tanker (some one who is real good at tanking) waits around a little bit for a tank, any tank, to respawn is quite alright, no rows, no minutes spent waiting...  

Oh the horror images of 4+ people waiting around for their Tiger to respawn (or even Tks over it though those are memories from FH1).  :P  ::)  ;D

Speaking of "that's MY tank Boohoo"  TK-ers and whiners. During one round I spawned with no vehicles around except one SDKFz 251. A panther just drove out of the base, so I run after it, being a sapper, and requested a pickup. No response, I requested it again... the thing kept going.  Meanwhile I managed to get close to it and I requested for a third time, it was the only vehicle around, but it drove off again. Eventually I got in it, manned the MG and... the guy bailed out and run off....  =/

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.

Well, I haven't played pubby for many many years until 2.2 made it fun again. I guess I'm used to the tournament style where each tanker is given his tank at roundstart.

But if I get a damn Cromwell I sure as hell won't take a POS Sherman in it's place :P

Now I'm one of those people who will wait for the Panther to spawn on Goodwood from roundstart because if the Brits haven't capped the flags for it yet, then our infantry is doing fine without me, and if they are quick to the punch or much better then us then I won't have to wait long.

I also just in general prefer tanks. I also have a tendency to avoid regular Shermans though ;D. My character in an old MMO wasn't Ronson for no reason.
Michael Wittmann's gunner, Bobby Woll, was known to be an excellent Marksman.
He could hit targets at range even on the move.
