I'm still betting my money on the King Tiger with it's slightly thicker armour, better optics and superior 88mm
but i heard from sources here that the KT used crappier steel then previous panzers.
"Ask them, US and Brits didn’t do squat in WW2, it was won by the Soviet all by themselves versus the entire Germans Army and they did it while standing on one leg and with a arm tied behind their back. Western Europe, North Africa, Italy were all side shows" -unknown poster

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.

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.....
Blistex, that doesn't explain why the armor cracked. It was brittle and rudimentary. It isn't up to snuff to Allied armor, hell, Russia made better steel!
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?
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

Well, yes, but if a 50mm AT gun makes the turret crack...
Oh, the sides and rear of the tank wasn't that thick, and it cracked there too.
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.
