Tiger tanks being built out of Factorys

[Toorstain]

no reason for blitz? theres not only tiger but stormtroopers stuh also, or those grenades...

Stuh is crap, nades are gimmicky and stormtroopers I have already stated is all that's left. Truly the only reason to go blitz is to get them and nothing else. That's why the old ace should be brought back and put in blitz if the Ostheer's getting tigers.

Stuh is actually pretty good if you micro it right.
I remember a 1v1 match along time ago (before EF) where i kicked ass with it.
Instead of ordering it to attack units, I just made it attack ground. Seriously improves accuracy!

you'll need mechanized repair units at least...Schwere-Panzer Abteilungen (Heavy Panzer Battalions) never operated without them, since Tigers kept breaking down 

About the schweren Heeres-Panzerabteilung:
There is one more point you forget; Tiger operated always in groups!
My wish for the Ostheer would be solution with min. of 2 Tigers on the battlefield. Okay...this Tiger had to be weaker then the Wehrmacht Tiger, but Ostheer needs this SYMBOL! ( Tiger - designed as T-34 counter ) on the battlefield.

..then they probably should be Tiger(P)s, the slightly crappier early versions

lol... good idea , but a lot of people will be disappointed because they wanted a "real" tiger.

This helps but the constant babysitting is a detriment. The cost is also far too much. 600 is just way more than I'm willing to pay for a high concentration requiring unit that is still only marginal. It can be effective against British emplacements and Soviet blobs though. It's just completely and utterly useless against US. AT guns can 2 hit them. Nobody has actually stated what's wrong with giving Blitz the ace if we give Ostheer non-doctrinal tigers either.

[GamblerSK]

actualy i just trying to refuse that the blitz tactic with normal tiger is not useless

[Toorstain]

Same here...

I would love to see the ace back in.

(Or make the wher tiger limit to 2 tanks, but I know that's not gonna happen and would be to similar to what we are talking about for Ostheer...)

[Seeme]

Ostheer is going to be a mess at first

[Venoxxis]

lol... good idea , but a lot of people will be disappointed because they wanted a "real" tiger.

yea, a weakened tiger would be annoying. So lets have a real one, without vet. !

[cephalos]

That would be awesome to see Tiger Ace in action again! With his voice and texts from COH - " Let them show the true meaning of terror" 
But the Tiger Ace for Blitzkrieg doctrine will modify the existing factions, and as far I remember devs wanted to avoid this.
Tiger Ace for blitzkrieg doctrine, and two tigers for Ostheer - I'm on it

[GodlikeDennis]

Devs are already changing existing factions by using a list provided by GR experts to go off. AT grenades will home to the target and kangs will cost 40 fuel is what I've heard so far.

[Blackbishop]

Yeah, I would like to see Tiger Ace on blitz and normal tiger on Ostheer. Let's hope that dev's think this as an option .

[HansBlix]

What is the diference between a Tiger Ace and a normal Tiger?

[GodlikeDennis]

The tiger ace was what terror doctrine had instead of KT before OF. It was basically a really really fast tiger, that was all round awesome but couldn't get vet (because it practically came with better than vet 3 anyway). It also had a cooler skin and sayings. While we all kind of like the KT now, back when it replaced the ace people were horrified at this monstrosity . Some people still wish for the return of the ace.

In those days Blitz could call 2 tigers at once...

[HansBlix]

Thx. Couldn't know, I started with OF.

Yeah, I would like to see Tiger Ace on blitz and normal tiger on Ostheer. Let's hope that dev's think this as an option

I agree. Sounds nice.

[cephalos]

And you could call him many times. Well, it sound balanced when we say that bliztkrieg had then two tigers...
