No Tiger for Afrika Korps?

[poorboy]

It's supposedly one of the big advantages of playing the Afrika Korps, but I can't find any option to deploy it in the multiplayer playtest. I understand it may be a general-specific call in, but at least modify the tooltip to make that clear from the HQ upgrade.

Yeah not very clear, you have a very small icon i mechanized group buildin if i remember correctly that change the mechanized call in with stug panzer 4 and tiger, and for some reason they not cost any fuel, another very no sense thing.

[poorboy]

Oh, I see it. Thanks.

dont worry about tiger tanks , by the time you can spawn one , game is already over or enemy team has enough anti tank guns to make it go boom .

Its your headquarters after building all buildings, and there's also the panzer 3. Its really unbalanced, because British tanks are total crap for the most part, and their only genuinely great tanks are the churchills, which are 460mp 120 fuel each if you pick the correct option in mechanized battlegroup and not the black prince which is a ONCE A GAME CALL IN for 650ish MP & 100+ fuel, unlike the tiger. Sorry for not having accurate black prince numbers, its just not ever worth taking so I forgot.

Most efficient setup for me ended up being nonstop riflemen with anti tank rifles & mechanized battlegroup saving as much fuel as you can for churchills. Just make your first two buildings for rifles and 6 pounders and pray, worked pretty well in 2v2s, 3v3s, and 4v4s. Rush infantry training from your HQ addon (T hotkey) and then get med & heavy tank training right before rolling your churchills out.

It is viable to put out a vehicle or two and just recall it though you would need to get the final building for the British to recall medium & up. I often do recalls with a humber, a dingo, and the crusader AA tank you have to get before unlocking the churchill. All three are honestly really solid stuff, especially the dingo with that juicy artillery strike at vet 1.

Yeah, I've only been able to call it out on 1000 point custom games or annihilation games.

Yes there was a good number of Tiger Tanks in Africa. Clone's comment was uninformed to say the least.

Crusader is hands down the best medium tank in game, no debate

The churchills arent even a Mk 7 with a 75mm HV gun. They are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 6pdr. While Germans get panzer 4s with a 75mm. Hell the Churchill 6 had thicker frontall armour than a TIger, yet everything can pen it from the front.
