Give 8.8cm L/100 gun to Tiger II and VK4502A

Channel911's Photo Channel911 11 Jul 2012

Well, no med bar the Lorraine got more penetration than this, so exactly why complaining? And then, why should you aim for weakspots (=small spots) in a fast moving medium if you can simply blast a shell through his flank/arse? And you RoF is not bad at all, and the accuracy is the best full stop.

The  88 L/71 is a great gun, one of my favourite. But the 203 mm penetration need a very steady aiming to hit weakspot what can not be done in a fast moving medium. The gun is great in tier VII but not enough in tier VIII.
Both Pershing and T44 has less pen, and somehow it's not a problem for them...

88/L71 is great on the tiger and a very solid gun for T7 and capable on T8. I see no real reason to change it.

88/L100 however, is like the 75/L100 on T7, to weak for the tier in becomes available on (T9) and they look stupid. but I do feel that the german medium like becomes a "fast heavy" line, the E-50 (and apperantly E-50M) top gun (105mm) fires a heavy tank ROF resulting in a medium that fights peek-a-boom style with a low(er) alpha gun. or fires fast with a low damage pinociogun.

It would also make Tiger II more standard account friendly (assuming that shells cost the same as L/70 gun) and a more fun sniper.
Tiger II is the most standard account friendly tier 8 because of the cheap shells for 88/L71. The gun for american T32 has less penetration than the 88mm and still costs 1000 credits per shell.

Yes, gladly. It would make a world of difference for the 4502A. Fot the T2 though... not as important, but I'd still like it to be researchable - for the sake of tree branch interchangability.

Well, seriously, if i see a Tiger2 with 88mm, and he's not using the gun because he has yet to unlock his top gun, i laugh in his face.

Trying to turn a T8 in a moneymaker using a shitty gun is not smart, all your team will suffer.

thats right, but their low profiles is the cost, the panther II is a skyscraper compared, so it needs a better something which is a better gun.

i can clearly say the P2 must atleast have the gun it has.

when i had P2 i though it was a total okay'ish tank, but lacks of pen and damage for its size.

now with my type, i have such a low profile, good camo, decent slope and good turret armour

so if i had a 200 pen gun with 240 damage (gold ammo :Smile_trollface-3: )  it would be darmn OP

200 pen is enough to damage almost all t8 frontally(i never tried to attack frontally a t28, i usually flank them and park in their side.), and damage the ammo rack of the type, so it fits perfect on the p2 role of sniper.

about the topic i only would like to have it avaiable on them to use it on the future e-50 without using free xp.

And it has a better gun... A lot better, both penetration-wise, accuracy-wise(accuracy on move is worse than Pershings though) and aimtime-wise.

How about giving the 88mm L/100 to the tier 9 German heavy tanks to be able to mount in the stock turrets for easier grinding to the 128mm? This makes sense also.

The 88mm L100 should also be added to the Tiger I because this is still a tank in dire need of a better gun
