Well I'm going to get the tiger, but my unlocks leaves room for one more t3 unlock.  The choices are Blitzkrieg assault which does irrc + a bunch of speed and firing rate + crush - accuracy.

Or German engineering which allows you to buy an extra repair kit but at increased cost (plus 30 mu I think is the highest).

I'll be getting Lightning war t4 so my Tiger will go pretty fast etc.  I'm thinking that my tank force will be either a panther, tiger, and pIV or panther, tiger, and a few light vehicles (pumas or flammens). 

If I get the extra repair kits, that would essentially double my force (assuming they live to repair) and could be very powerful, the extra munitions won't be an issue considering the few tanks I'll have anyways.

But then there is blitzkrieg, I've never had it but I've seen how devastating it can be when used appropriately, although it seems like a good way to overextend with a vet 3 tank

Suggestions/tips on blitzkrieg?

Tiger withouth ace and rounds is a bit meh I think...

Tiger with all the buffs is a pretty meh.

3x LW Panthers

+ Blitzkrieg = Win

panther's accuracy at long range while moving + bk assault vs shermans = 0.414
while moving without bk assault =  0.55
with bk assault without moving = 0.64
normal = 0.85

he will fire 25% faster, cooldown is only for ostwind and pumas.
it actually seems blitzkrieg assault is much better for light vehicles since their speed is already higher they will gain more speed+ they benefit from reload and cooldown both + their reload is 0.5 instead of 0.75
and coz of their high speed they can move to close range fast and have better accuracy.

I'd go for blitzkrieg.

People really seem to not like the Tiger.. it kills any allied tank one on one, and I'd suspect even 1 on 2 or up to 1 on 3 and annihilates allied infantry (just kite)...

a LW tiger would have a decent speed too.  But can you really have 3 panthers?  AFAIK the max fuel with all advantages is 1400 or so.  3 panthers = 1500.

Max advantages are 1500 as far as I know.

So yes you can have 3 Panthers.

Tiger sucks in short. It has horrible range for a elite tank, it has a random armor, it loses to well used firefly, it is slow as hell and inaccurate at long range and so bad moving accuracy that it makes you cry and + on that 2 M10s beat it even if it had a pak protecting it. Heck even a single observation M10 can win a Tiger...M10 range is 45- tiger 40.

In short.

Tiger is a expensive bucket of fuel that usually dies faster than a panther ever would. Panther is simply better tank- it is faster and at least CAN and will bring fear to armored units and it has a nice habit of sniping british officers and guys from teams. Its speed allows it to escape and charge in rapidly and it gets skirts. It has better armor and range too, 47.5 as far as I remember. Costs less pop to field too and has better pathing than a Tiger does.

Speaking from the allied perspective, I know (presumably doctrine-buffed) tigers can be quite nasty. One thing a panther will never do is take out 4 AB in single shot, but that's not very uncommon with a tiger.

[panzerman]

panther at max range snipes inf rather well.

ab is just gay and RR are lamers lol...all axis armour should be invicible

nah depends on wat type of player u are...i say if ur going lw. forget about tigers really tigers need panzer aces and heat rounds. thats when they start getting really good.

panthers on lw and bk just is insane lol.
