King Tigers are the absolute easiest targets you can give a Firefly. The only thing that makes them appear difficult is the sheer health and that's it. Otherwise, the thing might as well have a big bullseye on it as far as a Firefly is concerned.

You want a real challenge? Go bag a JagdPanther, then you know your holding up good.

But, congrats on the Panther kills so far, may there be more on the way.

Lol that's why I said it, it takes a long time to kill it so support can come in and help quicker, taking out the firefly. also dont forget the king tiger has 45 range and it only takes 4 for a king tiger to kill a FF while it takes 16 for the FF to kill the KT

Also, engaging a jagd is suicide for a FF, they're too fast.

id say panther kill is tougher (or should be) than a KT kill, just because if the panther decides to rush you it can easily win.

You've got 55 range on the Firefly for a reason. Patience, pull it apart... Even if it takes you a solid 10 minutes of work going in and out, changing direction and flanks, throwing distractions, baiting it's support... You'll crack that nut without a single shot of return fire from the KT. All it takes is time.

The Jagd on the other hand... Well, I DID say if you wanted a challenge. Normal procedure for me is to pair up on the bastards and run alternating in and out tactics, forcing the Jagd to constantly change target. It requires some forethought and planning, but it's possible and extremely rewarding to pull off.

[Tymathee]

Yeah it is, i beat two with a good combo of piats and vet 3 FF.

Oh and i forgot to add this in, anothe reason to have a CCT in front is if you do get rushed by a jagd or panther, or p4 etc push the CCT out to block, a lot of times the tank wont even engage the CCT trying to still shoot at the FF.

Doesnt the CCT take target priority? Kiting with the FF is no issue. Must be noted that ninja paks and stormshreck blobs are a pain.

[Mysthalin]

If you want to vet your firefly - you'll need a CCT, hit and run tactics and luck.

If you don't really care - you'll need something to help you out in actually killing tanks. Mandos do well with ninja-tetrarchs, RSE would probs have to rely on ATG support while RCA can just nuke shit when it feels like it... And of course ATGs/Sappers too.
