Actually the Tiger I had REALLY good mobility for a tank as heavy as it was for the time (it was as fast as a Sherman originally, then they put a speed governor on the engine because it kept burning out the transmission – that being said it did have problems with sinking into mud, but so do most other tanks, even modern MBTs if you’re not careful where you drive them). The problem was that it was a very unforgiving tank to operate. You needed a good crew (particularly a skilled driver and commander) and good maintenance teams to keep a Tiger I running for more than a few days at a time, but without any one of those, it became a maintenance nightmare. Furthermore, it was just too expensive (iirc one Tiger I cost as much as three Panzer IVs or five StuG IIIs).

The Sherman, on the other hand, wasn’t necessarily insanely good at anything (though it was certainly more reliable than most other tanks of the war so long as the crew actually followed orders and left ammunition in the ammo racks until they needed to be loaded into the gun), but it was good enough in all of the important aspects and it was cheap enough to have in large numbers.

Am I the only one who see the Lowe silhouette on the background of the picture?

Nice looking tank though!

Looks like a Conqueror chassis with a soviet turret and wood.

can you even get in trouble for unsportsmanlike like behavior? it would be a weird thing to be banned for. does anyone think we need some different things to report people for? like team damage (yes, i know about the auto system, but its crap), blocking e.c.t

stupid statement. WG can make any tank OP or suck.

If WG gives the T1 cunningham 2000 alpha per shot and 500 pen and it will clean up at tier 10.
