Point is that the Tiger currently does not perform for its cost.
Any Panzer IV can rack up the kills just as well. From my experience the OKW P4 with the vet bonuses racks the infantry kills up even faster that the Tiger.
You can make the same argument for T34 and IS-2.
In fact, T34 got much better AI then IS-2.
Your whataboutisms about the IS-2 do not make this problem any more insignificant. Soviets just switched to KV versions. Ostheer lost it's only heavy tank.
Yeah, KV-1 as seen on the tournament.
I also do like KV-2, but if you go KV-2, well, it can but its not exactly good at fighting anything with armor higher then ostwind.
If you want strong AI, you do NOT go for generalist tank.
And just because heavies are not armies on their own does not mean they are weak or bad.
In fact, they NEVER should be one unit armies they were, especially tiger was guilty of it, having greater range, penetration, rate of fire and lowest scatter.
I really see why you people think tiger is bad after it was overperforming crutch for so long, I really do, but again, if you want potent AI vehicle, pick a dedicated vehicle.
Sorry, we did not had YEARS of EVERYONE top and bottom tier ranting about heavy tanks being too overrepresented in all game modes just to cry to bring them back once they finally got into a balance state.
1 heavy should NEVER outperform 2 mediums and Tiger effortlessly did.
