King Tigers
« on: June 13, 2010, 05:50:40 AM »
not exactly an EF question but I was always wondering why King Tigers never gain veterancy. Do they automatically come with level 3 veterancy? Also how do their stats compare with that of the ISU 152?

For the same reason the old ace came without, they are already awesome out-of-the-box. I also want to know some comparative figures with the ISU-152. A dev in another topic said that the ISU has better armour but I'm not sure that's the case. Also, KT armour is strange to work out because it's the same as Tiger armour "+20". Not sure what the +20 means. Maybe enemy weapons have -0.2 chance to penetrate?

imo kt > isu-2. it usually takes 2 isu's to take out a kt.

You mean IS-2. We are talking about the ISU-152 zveroboy (?) endgame callin from the right-side breakthrough tree. The self-propelled cannon without a turret. 1000mp cost.

That breakthough tank cant take out a panther!

Anyway Kingtigers Already have one of the best crews and best amour in germany, so how can they get better?
And kingtigers are just regular tigers with + everything,  all but speed.

isu-152 is not as good as it should be for the cost.

If it had been me, i would have made  the tank depot to make the KV-1 instead of the IS-2, and made the IS-2 a call in instead of the ISU-152. however, i would have also made the IS-2 much beter if it was the call-in.
