There are players said to be griefing by putting a seconds HMG behind the first.

This is grieving? Wow. So we're not supposed to use our brains anymore. Go read about trench warfare and enfilading mg fire on defending prepared positions.

Just played a game... 2 upgun sherman + 2 normal sherman beat 1 tiger and 1 panzer4. All mostly full health.

funny that you mentioned that because that is pretty historically accurate regarding the means as to which destroy the tiger, but the panzer is a nice kill too. Remind me never to cross your path on my axis profile.

I think people should start to realise that (most of the time) Axis tanks are meant to counter allied tanks and axis infantry to counter allied infantry where as it is vice versa for the allies.

Some classic match ups I can think of is like;

Panzer/Panther/Tigers vs Allied Tank
KCH/Gren+Lmg/Volks+mp40 vs Allied Infantry

Rifles w/ Stickies + ATG vs Axis Tank
Croc/Sherman/M8 vs Axis Infantry

^ he has a good point. allied tanks are't meant to take out axis tanks but axis tanks are meant to talk out allied tanks.

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Well this wasn't all true was it Smiley

It was 1 tiger vs 4 shermans. Shermans took down the Tiger to 10%hp before my Panzer4 charged in and let the Tiger escape. I think two(?) shermans was destroyed and later a Pershing took down my P4.

2 upgunned shermans belonged to armour player who popped field repairs. 2 normal shermans was mine. There was a Tiger and P4. Both my normal shermans died and the P4 and Tiger died.

Your P4 came in later fresh from spawn and killed 1 of the upgunned Shermans.

If you count it that way it was 1 Tiger and 2 P4s.

Don't know why you'd wanna fight heavy tanks with Shermans though, using 57mms firing at medium-long range, with sticky bomb backup, works a lot better and safer.

even m10s are better than upguns to do that, and a lot less expensive....

throw a stickie and the tiger will be dead...

i just want to say that stickies are much too strong/ do too much dmg: 3 stickies = dead stug

think about it

That's supposed to happen. 2 normal shermans will always beat a panzer IV unless you get outmicro'd something fierce, or the panzer IV is vet 3 or something.

The two upgun shermans can take out a vet 0 tiger by flanking and circle strafing.

People never seem to realize this, an unupgunned sherman is a panzer IV by another name. They will generally more or less tie when they fight. An upgunned sherman, however, will almost always beat a panzer IV in a one on one battle, front to front - barring veterancy discrepancies. The tiger is a very powerful tank, but it dies when outnumbered just like any other vehicle. Two unupgunned shermans can defeat it if you get the jump on it and micro properly.
