Description
The Tiger Ace is coming back to Wehrmacht's Terror Doctrine on the next update! Replacing the Jagdtiger as reward unit for the King Tiger.
Instead of using the same skin than the normal Tiger, will use Schultz's one. But it's output values are the same than used to be.
like a tiger ace in the first part "CoH"
so no more King Tiger?
I think there is still a king tiger, but this replaces it as a reward unit.
in the first part was just a "tiger ace"
@Arbiter900
Updated description to avoid confusion.
Here HE is
what are the diff between Tiger Ace and Königs Tiger?
Speed and lower upkeep vs penetration and armour?
@GriffinZ
I think you should check it by yourself when the update rolls out ;).
I hope the changelog tells me, becuase otherwhise it will only end with which one I "feel" is more powerful :p
@GriffinZ
The Tiger Ace is basically a Normal Tiger on steroids, faster and more resilant than Blitz Tiger but it cannot earn veterancy, like the KT.
No more jagdtiger? No!!
Its high likely that the JT will be a reward unit for the jagdpather, which fits the tankhunter doctrine perfectly fine :)
@Venoxxis
But it won't. It will be removed from EF on the next update.
I should have forseen this.
eh thats seems dumm to me :P the jtigers were used mostly on the eastern front
nope thats the problem, they were used almost only on the western front.
@Blackbishop
Ah alright, than you guys are probably thinking of an implementation in the upcoming campaign :)
So no more JT ? Sad.
i take it this will recieve a new skin to make it historically accurate?
@jollyross69
Nope, was because EF Community wanted it. To put it blunty we weren't going to use the Black Tiger skin at the time the idea was accepted.
But the skin was motificated a bit, or? or the model, these packages on the turret seem to be new ;)
@Venoxxis
That's a small gift for the Ace and doesn't have to do with the skin(which is the same iirc) ;). It shall stand as a different Tiger than Blitz one (not only for it's states but visually as well).
The Tiger Ace is a reward to substitute the Jadgpanther of Panzer Elite
@CesarCK777
Nope. Jagdtiger != Jadgpanther
So instead of the King Tiger we can return to a Tiger Ace like in CoH v1.71? Isn't the King Tiger better in armor and rotation speed of the turret?
@ab2531
Looks like the rotation speed comparison is correct but the armor type is the same(Tiger armor == King Tiger armor == Tiger Ace armor :-\).
If you look at the ebps, the King Tiger has reduced penetration in his action_apply so a better armor.
@ab2531
Oh, my mistake. You have right.
@Blackbishop.
Now really, this is right the way the ace deserved it. Absolutly perfect additions.
To be honest I can perceive even more featrues. seemingly you used the 2nd tiger model in the game, as basis, what is a absolutly brilliant idea. Its recognizeable on the ducts on the tigers back.
Another addion are these cans on its back, which will probably give it a nice look as well.
Not to forget about the shovel on its front :)
@Venoxxis
We had to use the Normal Tiger model, to avoid the better looking but bugged wreck :(... then we gave it all that extra stuff :).
Nice to hear that the wreck works this way :D. Ace is coming in!
looks different because the Vanilla has no Bags around the Hull
Yeah, Blackbishop explained above... 'We had to use the Normal Tiger model, to avoid the better looking but bugged wreck :(... then we gave it all that extra stuff :)'
She's a beauty. Can't wait to take her for a spin. :P hehe
Well, King Tiger is actually Tiger II.
Short question: Can I download the black tiger skin separately?
so just like the tiger ase you get when you beat the tiger ace campaign sept it black
Tiger looks sexy in black :D
