Acctually they dont even have the tiger up on the official web page, just the panther, so there will other tanks. You have to realize that most of these are early screenshots with place holders (the M1 was given to the germans in the really early ones). My guess is they hadn't finish modeling other tanks when they took the screens.

also a 'sticky bomb' does not take out the take, it takes out my tracks, so its doesnt matter if the tank is out, it cant move, my grand-dad took out a tiger tank with a bazooka by firing at its tracks

Hans: The "Panther" on the Offical site is a Modeled Tiger II tank, and the information below it claims it to be a Tiger I..

Hells-Angel: You are lucky to have relatives that served during the Second War War on the Allied Side! Anywho, According to most accounts during the war, Whenever a report of Tiger tanks came through, It was sent to the Army Corps Air Force. And every available Arty piece within range. Often, It can been seen as overacting to a threat, and This is also why you see a few photographs of Panthers and Tigers actaully flipped over by the tremendous blast. The 12th SS Panzer Division's Commander, Fritz Witt, was killed by navel gunfire during the fight for Normandie.

This is another interesting issue I think. Hopefully after you've moved along with the Breakthrough into the hedgrows, you should be able to call in Arty Stikes against attacks and Defensive actions if a radio is available.

Polaris: The Naval Cannons for all beaches, hit them and then seized firing to allow the landing troops to take the shore without friendly fire. Some Beaches the bombardment missed completly (Omaha, all sectors) and did roughly no damage. Most of the Large exlplosions on the beach are due to the 88's and Mortor Fire, not Naval Cannons. I ment Inland, like in Actions in Towns and fields, etc.. I Assume the Man in the Screen shot is making a SITREP to his Commanders.

Nope, Not true. I've noticed that it seems there is a High Priority on modeling and featuring the Pz. Kpfw. VI "Tiger" Tank. There where Historically Only 51 or so Tiger tanks operating in the Normandie Front. But It seems that they have Tigers Guarding every Mailbox from Afica to Belin. Lets See some real Workhorses of the Panzerwaffe, The Panzerkampfwagon IV, The Stug III, and maybe a couple Panthers. Keep in mind also, that it was an unoffical front line rule to the allies, "It take 5 Shermans to take out a Panther or Tiger" So let's not expect a couple "Sticky Bombs" to that the fight out of a Tiger. (Much less, it's occompanying Support Mk III's With L/24 Cannons, and Panzergrenadiers)....

The guy on the phone is not calling for an airstrike. He is most likely reporting back to command on if the beach is held or not. Sending back reports on casualties. To early for an airstrike.

Also 51's weren't operating on the Normandie as much as you think. 51's were still doing bombing escorts. When you call in an airstrike you would most likely see the 47, which was probably one of the best ground-attack planes that the allieds had.

Yes, I noticed that too, but thats not the point. I was bringing to you attention that there will be other tanks in the game.

Hellsangel, I think you're confused. do you have anything on this one. Just because your grand daddy was in the war doesn't make you an expert. I'm not either. But waff. is the one who is dominating this discution.

Your reply just makes no sense

No, I'm new to this little group thing and have looked at alot of your discutions and it is easy to see Waff is very knowledgeable, and what hellsangel said didn't make much sense.
