Battlegroup
Name: Heavy Tank |
The
original design inception of the Tiger called for a tank that could penetrate
100mm of armor at 1,500 meters, and still able to withstand a direct hit
from a comparable weapon. It was this tank that was to serve as the spearhead
of the German army. However, even with a 694 horsepower engine, the Tiger
could only manage a maximum speed of 23 miles per hour. A victim of its
own weight and size, the Tiger eventually filled a defensive roll. Here
the need for speed was not as crucial. |
| Did someone ask for punching power? The Tiger carries a main gun comparable to the one carried by the massive King Tiger. While a bit slower than the Panther G, the speed limitations that plagued the real Tiger will not prove as critical on your battlefield. As with any main battle tank, initially deploy them in open areas where they can make the most of their strengths. Light and medium AT guns are a non-threat outside of 200 meters. | |
