Because the Tiger was supposed to be kind of an allrounder, but ended up as a tank that was just bad at everything. It was slow, expensive, short sighted and fragile. It is supposed to be a vulnerable but hard-hitting tank.

The 17pounder is already limited in placement by its size. On some maps you'll struggle to find a space to build one in a decent firing position at all. I don't think a limit is necessary although I wouldn't care because I wouldn't build more than one ever for two reasons:

1) Brit tanks are the best thing about brits: Centaur, Firefly, Comet. Avre etc. You don't want to invest to much fuel in static emplacements when you have such decent tanks around.

2) 17pounder is easily countered. Of cpurse brace is strong versus one fire abilities and offmap attacks but it quickly goes down to constant artillery (LeIG) or flame attacks (Mortar HT) once the effect wore off. In lategame the Jagdtiger outranges it and thats a real pitty. Atm its a fuel sink in most games.

I like building Pak43 a lot more, because it costs no fuel, has greater range than any allied tank, can be remanded and can't be destroyed while its manned (only decrewed). On top of it all it costs only 10 population.

I said during the alpha of brits and i will say it till relic fix it


THE FIREFLY SHOULD NOT RELY ON TULIPS TO KILL


drop the reload to 6 sec
Tulips cost 125 muni, do only 100 dmg and do the crit on the stuart "block vision", shoot only one tulip per activation (for 125 mun you get 2 free tulip shot, and when there is no more tulips, you rebuy them)
