Tiger main gun damage...

[KARAYA1]

Ok now I'm tired of this gun damage on the Tiger, after 1 or 2 hits by ai or player anywhere on the front part of tower and its out, and have this 10(?)min repair... Sometimes they only need to hit a nearby tree with He and its damaged... Fix this please.

I have to second this observation.

Me too! That main gun damage appears much too often.

Agreed 100%

Well, it depends what have hitted you. See, tiger's frontal armor on turret is whole mantlet. Its mounted on bolts on the turret sides, when some high power shell hit you, it may damage gun elevation system very easy. Lets say some 122mm will hit you - AP, APHE, HE - doesnt matter - it will surely damage it. 

But i guess you are talking about 76mm, 45mm, and other below 85mm?

Correct, all the rounds that is in the game at the moment wont damage the gun as it does now. A side shot on the barrel and it hit right in the center could damage the barrel too much but from headon it wouldnt do much.

With ISU 152 and SU 122 then a hit from them might even knock off the turret, not just damage the gun.
