i hate the balance. i can get 6 shermans and the axis get 2 tigers. i can only have 2 shermans on the field vs 1 tiger and its impossible to beat. then after my shermans are dead i have to wait for them to deploy more and by then the tiger has retreated to the repair station.
WTF do i do?

Use other AT, support your shermans. And, its not really that hard to kill a tiger with a sherman+m10

Anti-TANK gun kill Tiger...Sherman kill infantry trying to kill anti-tank gun...

Using sherman to kill tiger is like throwing 30 rifleman to kill machinegun.

Shermans can damage tanks, but they shouldnt be your AT, man. Even with upgun they arent very good at it. However, I just killed a tiger with a single M10 in my last game. 2-3 M10's should be able to surround and rape a tiger quite easily, if you are intent on using tanks for it. You can also just using sticies and AT gun combo, which works nicely, sticky the tank and it cant retreat away from the AT gun.

In other words, you are using the wrong units to kill tigers. People dont complain about non flamer engies not being able to kill KCH, and it is for the same reason. Yes, they can damage KCH, but they shouldnt be relied on to take them on by themselves. Hope that helps

i rushed an m10 foward and with good micro i finally got a kt down to 1 hp b4 they got shreks and destroyed my m10, it sucked because the kt bounced the last shot from the rear

its about the macro game.  Allied tanks are not efficient tank killers on their own.  If an axis tank is supported by even 1 anti tank asset the allied tank will ALWAYS lose the battle.

the fact that two Shermans can fight a tiger by themselves is wrong in so many ways.  Either side should have something: at guns, shreks, fausts, stickies, zooks or rr's... something else should be part of that equation.

this game is well balanced when you look beyond 1 on 1 style matchups and look at it as the macro environment that it contains.

You could get 2 pershings too if you were an armour player. (Theres even people with 3)
It cuts both ways, this is however not how the game is being balanced.

Just because you can have more apples than pears doesn't mean the apples will always end up on top.
(Because you are in fact comparing apples to pears here Wink)

There are players said to be griefing by putting a seconds HMG behind the first.
I've yet to see it confirmed, but it's said to supress the enemy. Without warning.
Let us pray that this tactic will not spread.

A sherman is a anti inf tank without any upgrades.



The fucking allys can get like 9 m10´s, but I can only get 2 tigers, WHAT SHOULD I DO!
SO UNFAIR!
