(For the next claim I am using I.Pejczochs studies about "Armoured Engineering" as primar resource.) Hellcat or Sherman Firefly really should not be able to penetrate the frontal armour of Königstiger. While there is not a huge number of literature that would be providing readers with any sort of really misleading "half-facts", on the internet there is still (at least in the Central Europe) a long term fashion of dilettante performed armor-penetration calculations, many times ignoring even the most crucial aspects. How it was in real WW2: Alright, through my whole life, I was always keeping deep interest in WW2 armoured vehicles. As much as I consider especially the latest patches a great job (2-second aiming delay for hand-operated AT weapons (Bazooka, PIAT, Panzerschreck) is in my personal opinion very good idea), there is still something that looks quite strange.so lets be specific: Just a few months ago I returned to Blitzkrieg Mod and I was quite surprised how several things about Königstigers are solved.
