[QUOTE]Originally posted by Goblin [B]Arralen, I just talked to Falchion, and he thinks it was a half dozen Tigers. I still think four. Impossible is awful strong, because it happened. Incidentally, he also took down a Sturmtiger frontally also. With a Sherman V. As I stated earlier, this was GER/BRIT. The version is 7.1, no mods to any penetrations or armor. Bernie, Good thought. I hosted, so I set prefs. Just to be sure, I checked with him to see if his were different. They were no. Both of us were at 100%. Falchion is a very close friend odf over a decade, and is trustworthy. If he said they were at 100, I don't doubt it in the least. Paul Vebber, Is there any modifiers that could possibly explain this? Or AM I just really unlucky (or he just really lucky)? Goblin [/B][/QUOTE] Okay, were those early or late model Tigers? I ask because the late model Tigers had front armor rated 110, while the early models were rated 105. Slopes were (respectivly) 21 and 16. Now, looking at the Sherman V we see that it had a penetration rating of 102 using the 75mm M3 gun...and HE rounds. Now, ifit was rated 102 with HE, what about AP? Even so, with just the HE, that puts the rating within 3 points of the early Tigers, and Paul did say there's a built-in range of leeway there. If it were only 10% higher that would put the PEN at 112, just enough to theoreticaly punch through that armor on either Tiger.
