i think ill drop my 2 reichsmark on this one:
with ost being my favorite faction and the tiger being my alltime favorite tank (fanboyism is stronk!), i still think that the range of a vet 2 tiger would be too much. it should be 50 MAX (45 + 5 vet bonus), but i could live with 45, too.
talking about tigers: why the hell didnt they adjust Target Weakpoint on the Tiger Ace as they did with the stug G? a heavy 50 range tank with insane speed, sight AND a turret shouldnt be able to stun. give him the same disable-maingun-shot and it should be way less frustrating to play against.
or even better redesign it. make it a vet 3 tiger off the bat for something like 300 fuel, no penality whatsoever. its just to tempting to pick that commander when youre game is going badly and that is horrible design. you should pick a commander because it fits your overall playstyle not because you need to hit the emergency brake
Currently we're talking about a normal Tiger tank, no ace. I have to agree on the point that getting a tiger to vet 2/3 is a hell of a job. In my experience (and sure I've had enough vet 2/3 tigers in my games) it at least (unless some special shit happens) takes 7 minutes to get it to vet 2 because of the vet requirements. So it's not that you'll meet up with the 56,5 range all the time.
