What good is the tiger tank?

Oh look, it's the clown from the alpha forum. Can't contribute anything to the discussion, but axis are always op and balance will be only achieved when allies have 100 % win rate.

I have to say the IS2 is better than the Tiger, because the IS2 has a higher field presence, more shots deflect, it can stay longer in combat, it needs more resources to counter and when it hits infantry, it hits them usually hard, thanks to 4 men squads.

I don't say nerf the IS2, I rather think adjust the Tiger so it's on par with the IS2, by the impact it has on the game.
Or make it cheaper, if that is out of question.

I'd rather see the IS-2 dropped to Tiger levels which makes heavies more vulnerable. Either an armour reduction, both front and rear, or make it slower. For some reason it's faster than a stock Tiger while having significantly more armour.

Tiger dies sooo fast. Just doesnt deflect shots the way the IS2 does.
Plus its slower which means ALOT for a heavy tank. IS2 rarely gets flanked because its so fast while the tiger just gets run down. IS2+incendary will kill tiger and pak support and T34/85s + Mark target + 120mm also kills Tiger and paks. Jackson can just Kite the think to death. Tiger is only decent in defense IMO.

So many heavy tank heroes. Only capable of judging one heavy against another. While the game suffers under their dominance.

Can't wait til they all get what they deserve. IS-2 and Tiger alike.

Just smoke/blitz, and support your tiger. Every scenario you should here should kill your tiger (if you engage/ or stay to fight it), because it is way more resources then just one tiger. The way i see if anything you loses a heavy tank, be it a Kt, tiger, or a is-2 is because you messed up. All heavy have way to much health from them to be just killed, unless you put them in the situation.

ATM I play with 3 +10% veterancy as Ost and I have to say it is pretty nice as you get a vetted Tiger very very fast.

It's simply a very big Panzer IV and no walking bunker. IMO buffing the Tiger is not the way to go but either nerf the IS-2 armor a bit or prevent PaK one shots.

I might be wrong but CoH1 never had these Pak wipes, maybe because of the damage tables.
