King Tiger post patch

Terminator98, on 24 December 2010 - 07:20 AM, said: The King Tiger's mantle armor is still pretty much paper. The +40mm is a joke. The real King Tiger had about 180mm on that mantle, I cannot understand why the devs will NOT put this thickness on that tank. It is a serious weakness that puts the King Tiger at a serious disadvantage. I've been using it since the patch and the gun module is still getting damaged everytime. I even turn my turret away to make sure that the mantlet isn't available to shoot at, or at least angle it, and still, this doesn't work.
But the thing is, I shouldn't have any need to do this. The King Tiger had an incredibly thick mantlet. It was designed to bounce off anything.
The excuse "we need it to have a weak gun because every tank has one" is lame, because the T29 has an incredibly thick gun mantlet.
I would like to see Overlord's insight on this.
If they don't want to upgrade the armor, the devs should at least make that gun spot smaller, it's way to big now. Reduce the Hitbox to the size on an IS-3, and perhaps KT owners will complain less.
