ha, no offense, but have you you guys ever played a custom game as follows.....1000 pts, clear, summer, june 44', on a flat, open, rural map, give the germans 3 kings tigers (regular level) and 2 wespe's.... the ONLY time I've ever won that battle is with 2 things, british 17 pounders, and fireflies, if you try to rush 3 king tigers on an open map (rushing with stewarts or regular shermies) they get wasted before the 3rd turn is up, i guarantee noone can beat a tiger on an open map without 17 pounders or fireflies, and even those things have a kill chance rated "low" and "rare".

oh, by the way, this WAS a large open map so assaulting the tiger and getting behind it was difficult, thats why i wondered if there was anything the allies had that could destroy a king tiger from the front

jeese guys thanks so much, info really helped, ill come here more often, hehe

hehe sorry that was november 44, thats my prob, its kinda hard to get around king tigers without them mopping up my entire force, what exactly is a vanilla sherman?

hi, im new to this game, can anyone tell me the counter for king tigers, im trying to play june '44 as americans in a custom game, it seems like king tigers are indestructible, anything i hit them with just richochets or "shell breaks up" i tried 90 mm anti air, 40 mm, m13 jackson tank destroyers, sherman jumbos, the only thing that managed to take them out was the 76 mm anti tank guns, isnt that kind of unfair? i mean you have to spend all you have just to get them and the tigers almost whipe them out i won with like 3 left (i used open map to test), if anyone has a counter for them besides "hitting a lucky 1 in 100 shot at their back" type strategy, please spill your guts, thanks.
