Tiger Tank vs T29 = Fail

ARGO: The German tanks are not hated, A LOT of the Staff I know like them and are predominent in their garages. But I will tell you what I have learned regarding the 3 trees. 1st. The Russian tanks, They are the get in your face and smack you in the mouth up close and personal brawlers of WoT. They are for those who love to go head to head. 2nd. German tanks are the snipers, the ones who reach out and touch someone 3/4 across the map and pick you apart before you ever get close. 3rd. American tanks, Jack of all trades....master of none. What I see as the most well rounded of the bunch. AGAIN, my personal opinion. I have learned that in my time with the three trees that the real lovers of the game, the enthusiasts who live for the challange seem to enjoy German tanks because they are harder to use. I myself Loved my Tiger even more than my Tiger II for sniping. I won more battles with my German line than any other pre-wipe. Now as for your mano a mano with a T29, your tiger is not and was never meant to be a brawler that's why you find it hard. If your tanks were at distance I will bet you would mop the floor with the T29....I know, I did it regularly with my long barrel 88mm. Now I do know of a few guys who can dog fight with a Tiger by tracking thier prey repeatedly but again, it's all in how you fight.
Now you have read all that I will say my piece and wishes for the Tiger tank. I wish the Tiger was seriously buffed out and made into a tier 10. The Tiger is a legendary Tank with a fearsome reputaion, Would love to see that long barrel 88mm get some extra love. I don't think there is a human being on this planet that doesn't think of the Tiger "or Sherman" for that matter when the word TANK is mentioned. In short, putting a Tiger Vs. a T29 is like having an Archer fight a Knight up close. Two different fighting styles.
