What you describe there is a suboptimal commander layout for axis side. While Tiger Ace is stronk, none of the above mentioned commanders have the 2 click counter to your offmap artillerys. As such, u were able to win with extreme luck. Im guessing a few really good ml-20 hits on mr.jagdt.

Such is the real problem with Trolltiger, and why it is a bigger problem the more players are in the gamemode. One trade off should be the not spending fuel part untill lategame and the natural counter would be artillery. Since in 2v2s some people play for fun, not that many teams use the no-click anti armor and 3 click anti artillery combination. In 3v3 and 4v4 chances are very high, both are present.

I'd be interested what would happen, if on-map arty was stronk enough to survive any off-map strike(the hardware that is) and jagdtiger was nerfed into same range as ele and isu. Because a hell of a lot of games won by axis teams, are won after beeing behind for 30 minutes. Then slowly turn when allied attempts to get rid of the epicanter of slow-creep, the trolltiger, start. Only to be completly overwhelmed in 40 min mark (10 Minutes after the first, with ca 25 fuel per minute) when what was extremly costly/unssuccesfull to conter arrvies again/a second time. Im pretty sure we would have a whole different picture of whine/balance discussion going on then.

Not saying I don't believe you, but without a replay... nothing we can do here. If your question is if this SHOULD happen, then no, what we know from the stats indicates this should not happen. I never personally shot an ISU with a Sturmtiger before, nor saw it happen, so we can't say for sure.
