What is a wehraboo?

[The King of Spades]

I haven't heard this term before till this fine game released on beta. In all the insults I've seen they've been directed at those who favor ze Germans in WW2 games. Does it have something to do with the Wehrmacht and Anime?

Wasn't one of the main problems regarding the Tiger 1 variants that they were too complex for their own good when compared to Shermans and T34's for example? My 20th century history is a little rusty but I seem to recall a major con in regards to them being that if they broke down, you were a little bit in the ♥♥♥♥ for ages. Plus on the eastern front the overlapping wheels tended to get frozen together in the winter.

In Normandy, more Tigers were destroyed by their own crews than in combat, because they broke down, got stuck or ran out of fuel.

The production process was insane too, hundreds of tiny changes to the design every month rather than rational production techniques.

The Tiger I and Tiger II had their issues in the begining for sure, teething issues. Tiger I and Tiger II H were quite reliable later on however maintanance heavy such as having to clean the wheels from mud etc...

They improved quite significantly for sure, and they were helped by fighting a largely defensive campaign.
The heavy tank concept ultimately never quite worked for anybody, I think. All of the "heavies" were plagued by problems, though with their faltering supply system, it may have affected Germany more severely.

Damn fine looking tank though.

Fine looking and effective, though the Tiger II was really unreliable in the begining.

My candidate for best-looking German tank tends to be the Panzer II. Not sure why.

Though my favourite British tank is the Crusader, so maybe I just like thinly armoured early war vehicles :-)

I'm a fan of the Cromwell myself. Maybe I just like tanks that were a bit block like aha.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Wehraboo

Wehraboo
A history or alternate history fan who is firmly entrenched in the belief that Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht was the best military in history, without a single flaw. Effectively, a Wehraboo is any obsessive Wehrmacht fanboy/fangirl who doesn't like historical facts getting in the way of his militaristic fantasies. While not necessarily, many Wehraboos can become Nazi apologists. The cliché of German Techwank can be a common fetish for many Wehraboos.

Based on the similar-sounding term "weeaboo" (a catch-all definition for Japanophiles).
"He's convinced that German WW2 pilots were the greatest pilots of all time."
"Yeah, don't mind his nonsense, he's a Wehraboo."

That is the correct definition, but it is used out of place alot. "Omg you think the King Tiger should have historically accurate armor??? WERHABOO ALERT!!!" The label also gets slapped on people that want game balance as well, the first time I heard it was when Coh2 first released, and the game was god awfully imbalanced to the point Axis couldn't even get to the top 100 slots on leader boards. "Why don't you nerf the clown car with snipers in it? It's literally an auto win button" That was enough to get you labeled a wehraboo. But at the time the game was going through alot of political turmoil especially from the Russians. "Omg how dare you portray the Germans as human and question the awesomeness of the USSR!!!??? NAZI SYMPATHIZERS!!!"

Basically for months we had to read threads about that on every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forum there is/was. After that.... after that... I had a "Not so good" opinion of the Relic fanbase. Reached League of Legends levels of cancer.

The name is over used a lot, and to be honest i see plenty of soviet and usa fanatics about. Wehraboos, Usboos and Staliboos, i must admit that i am getting pretty tired of these names.

didn't anyone tell you that the only way to win an argument in 2017 is name calling? once you call someone a name it totally invalidates their opinions thereby negating the need to back up assertions with fact.

Welcome to the millennial field of debate.

[captain gimmick]

People who legitimately believe that Germany was the best in everything except numbers, and that every German tank would take on entire armored divisions.

Looks like we're not going to survive to Phase C because I can't micromanage more then 3 units at a time, that means no King Tiger tanks. I think i'll just disconnect and leave my teamates screwed and make buff King Tiger thread #158483855
