Strategy and Tactics for Wehrmacht / Tiger Ace
« on: November 29, 2011, 05:54:32 AM »
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.
