Profile of Tiger Baron

Luftwaffe Supply might actually be up for the next revamp so Idk...

I would still not pay money for them tho, nothing that you can buy with credits is basically worth it.

I guess the only real thing worth buying with real life money is some of the skins since according to the store page at least some of the proceeds go to the skin makers altho I'm not exactly sure what % of the cut they're getting, I don't imagine it's a big one.

Three problems with the KT in Festung Armor:

1. There's no animation for hulled down KT.

2. If there would be an animation for hulled down KT, nothing would be able to counter it (basically equal range to Allied TD's and AT guns, while having 375 armor, a cannon with 240 damage and 1700~ HP)

3. If wouldn't be able to get hulled down, the KT has bad synergy in the doctrine.

I think Fortified Armor would be a better candidate for KT (don't ask me why you want it..), cause I find Sander's concept for Festung Armor pretty neat atm. Just replace hull down and Elefant.

It does have hull down animations tho lol, all German (OKW included) tanks do, as you can see here with the Jagdtiger being an example:



You can also check it in the All Units Mod.

Also Hull Down could be just reworked in my opinion as well and there's already 2 doctrines with the Elefant.

Replace KT with Elephant, panzer tactician with breakthrough equipment and emergency repairs with entrenching tools from community defense and the commander is ready.

There is already a doctrine with an Elefant and Hulldown so there's no need for a 2nd one in my opinion, it's useless it is and is being overshadowed by Jaeger Armor (Elefant and Spotting Scopes plus the Frag run).

Other than that like I said it's whatever to me, as long as the KT is included somewhere.

Alright so here's my Mobile Defense doctrine improvement concept:



It does 2 things.

- Makes Mobile Defense Great Again (Trump approved)

- Introduces the King Tiger to Ostheer.

I have mixed in Smartie's concepts and ideas with the 250 and AT Osttruppen (I'm a very big fan of the AT Rifle Osttruppen idea myself) into a single combat group similar to the Grenadier/Panzergrenadier 250 call in for other doctrines.

But overall haven't touched anything else but the now pretty obsolete Command Panzer IV.

To the probable questions of "Isn't it redundant?" and "Isn't it going to be OP?" to both of which I answer with a strong "No".

Simply because it's a heavily AT focused mid to late game commander that doesn't have AI or give you much of an early game advantage, not to mention no off map support like an artillery barrage or air strike.

Plus all 3 call-ins are both "mobile" and "defensive" (of sorts, maybe besides the Puma) in nature. I don't really count the KT as an aggressive unit since it's big, slow and dead if you don't support it well while you could rush with the Puma because it's cheap, fast and you could say expendable.

Special shout-outs again to Smartie for his ideas I've used here, and DerbyHat for his suggestions on the fonts.

Also Pardon the picture being a little bit blurred, I had to take it off the internet and then scale it up because I was too lazy to go into the game and take a screenshot of the commander itself lol.

Lol sorry, i got that from wiki.

Zaloga uses Wittmann's career to illustrate the point of the battlefield advantage. He credits Wittmann with "about 135" tanks destroyed, but points out that Wittmann achieved 120 of these in 1943, operating a Tiger I tank on the Eastern Front. Having advantages both in firepower and in armour, Tiger I was "nearly invulnerable in a frontal engagement" against any of the Soviet tanks of that time. Wittmann thus could "kill its opponents long before they were close enough to inflict damage on his tank".[23] Zaloga concludes: "Most of the 'tank aces' of World War II were simply lucky enough to have an invulnerable tank with a powerful gun"

Interesting, I thought Zaloga was more of a commie/Allied tank lover.

From what I've seen or heard he mostly bashes the Germans.

Got any books I can read on the Tiger?

I'm mostly interested in memoirs like those of Otto Carius and von Rosen.
