Ah I stated the cost and HP wrong, huh.

Anyways, I'm satisfied! thanks for everything.  ;D

Will put your chart and advise to good use when I get the time to play EF again, haha.

Name: Catblind

I mainly play PE, but I've recently taken a liking to Wehr and Brits.

As an auto match player, I prefer to play 1v1 PVP, though I'm willing to play 2v2 as well.

Wow thanks! The chart is very helpful. That pretty much answered most of my questions.

But one more thing - if I recall correctly, the Tiger Ace was 800 mp up front, though I might be wrong. But considering the following...

- The Jagdpanther has 1800 hp, and up to 2282 hp w/ def vet. It costs 5 minutes of 100 mp drain, around 500 mp total. It has even stronger armor than the KT.
- The King Tiger has 2000 hp and cost 500 mp up front, at least in vcoh.
- The Tiger ace has 1500 or 1300 hp with inferior armor, compared to the aforementioned german tanks. It's gun range puts the tank well within firing range of other tanks. Crack shot can only be used so often. Even if this tank is fast, it is less survivable overall imo.
- There are so many other factors to consider. AI and AT competency, speed, accuracy, gameplay style, etc. I'm getting a headache thinking about it.

All in all, I want to know, will the cost be tweaked?

Also, can you find the Tiger Ace's firing rate?

Thanks again, I really appreciate your work here.

Hi! I'm new to the forums but I've been playing EF for a while. It's a great mod.

Now, does anyone know how the Tiger Ace compares to the Blitz Tiger, Pershing, and IS-3?

I was using a Tiger Ace the other day in a multiplayer game vs the soviets, and although it proved to be a very good anti-infantry tank, it fell short of my expectations for AT and durability. An IS-2 and two nearly dead SU assault guns pushed back my full health Tiger Ace and killed it, despite the support of four shrek-grens. All shots penetrated my Tiger's front armor. I thought it would have more HP and armor than that, it's a freaking one-time-use Tiger Ace, not a Pershing.

Can anyone please provide this unit's stats? HP, armor rating, damage/penetration, accuracy vs infantry and tanks, max gun range, etc, in comparison to the other heavy tanks, namely the Blitz Tiger and King Tiger.

Also, does the long-range shot ability increase damage?

Would a Tiger Ace lose 1 on 1 vs an IS-3? How about an IS-2?

And for a little discussion, how would you use your Tiger Ace? Run it straight into the enemy like a Jagdpanther? Or use it as an anti-infantry version of a firefly, at a distance? I'm opting for the latter.
