but i heard from sources here that the KT used crappier steel then previous panzers.

Re: M26 Pershing
 

That quote is referring to the comparison of the King Tiger's armour to that of the Tiger I which had phenominal armour unlike anything else during the war. The Brindel index rating was the perfect mix of hard facing and flexability, Thus it was costly and time consuming.

The King Tiger's armour although not up to snuff to previous german standards was quite compareable to other allied tanks.

Re: M26 Pershing
 

It would be a lame-ass thing indeed to add the Pershing without any maps in the game that the Pershing could be in. It is similar to the Me 262 being in the Bocage map.....


Bleeeecchhhhhhh!

Re: M26 Pershing
 

I consider the Pershing equal to the Tiger I or Panther. The only tank I think that compares to the Tiger II ausf B is the IS-III.

Re: M26 Pershing
 

I kinda agree. if you see a penetration of the Tiger I or early Panther armor it looks like the penetrator punched a hole and the edges look kinda melted.

On many of the Tiger II penetrations the armor has shattered or cracked. But I have to wonder, if you increase the thickness of the plate doesnt it become stiffer and more rigid? meaning that the plate is less likely to flex?

Re: M26 Pershing
 

if you were to add the perishing what mpas would you place it on. there are no maps the would fit in with its timeline. unless the team has something up thier sleeves for .6 :naughty:

Aachen and Cologne, 1945 for starters.

Re: M26 Pershing
 

Right, in we need new maps to showcase this weapon in other words....

Re: M26 Pershing
 

I could see them maybe not doing Cologne, but with or without the M-26 Pershing I would be suprised if no one did Aachen.

Re: M26 Pershing
 

If you're referring to the Russian trials then you should take them with a grain of salt. After being pounded with every field and AT-Gun imaginable for a few days the armour tended to get a little weak.

In the field, I doubt that you're gonna see a 50mm do anything to a King Tiger other than piss it off!

Please reveal your sources as to the inferiority of the King Tiger Armour in respects to allied armour quality.

p.s. Don't quote battlefield.ru since many of it's facts are questionable and others have been refuted.
