92 rounds for the main gun, why?

>>30105618
so it can wipe out almost all of a russian tank regiment

>>30105618
Because space.

>>30105618
To kill more communist rats and capitalist pigs

Because 94 T-34s.

One or two. Because if you didn't get it with the first one GTFO.

>92 rounds for the main gun, why?

Overestimated how shooting would be typical before resupply was available.

>>30105618
To make a bigger boom after it breaks down and gets flanked by a KV-1

>>30105618
fuck tons of HE rounds for anit-infantry role, which was its primary fighting role.

Needs more dakka.

>>30105618
There were a lot of tank battles where each Tiger NEEDED all 92 of those rounds.

>>30105618
What, not enough shots? I don't think it's enough shots either but apparently the crew needed space too,

how much action did this hunk of wank saw ?
> the Firefly was put into production in early 1944
lmao

>>30105618
Are you suggesting we have capacity limits on main battle tanks?

>>30105618
Because crashing Shermans with tracks is too noisy.

>>30105618
>be in battle for 3 days
>ran out of ammo 2 days ago because someone thought you only needed 30 rounds

>>30108258
How do you know what you need to stock up on HE or AP ?

>>30107782
>KV-1
You mean they both break down, but the Tiger then outshoots the KV-1 because while it is unreliable like the KV-1, it doesn't have piss poor armament, unlike a KV-1.

>>30108302
You don't, so you take close to half and half, generally something like 60% HE, 40% AP.

>>30108113
this

>>30108332
Tiger I's were pretty reliable when driven by experienced crews that didn't try to grind coffee with the gearbox.

>>30108332
The Tiger 1 was more reliable and even had better cross country performance than the Panzer 4

>>30108114
just in time to liberate Europe and force Germans into an eternal guiltrip

Most used ratio was 1:1 in HE to AP. Reason: You don't know how much of what kind of ammo you need so you try to carry enough of both.
