Yes, it does seem strange that 12. SS don't get any Tigers, but 21. Panzer and Panzer-Lehr both do.
12 SS and Tigers.

I can already see the KT becoming a noob trap unit. People will be banking for it and sacrificing a lot of map control only to be stunned by arty and bombs for the rest of the maybe 15min effective time the KT is on the field. Stats for the Tiger don't make me jump in circles either...
Im pretty sure i read somewere the Panzer Lehr get the Henchel turret KTs and the 21st get the Porche turret.
That's what we know from the stream and blog, things may change though
I hope so, PzLehr is kind of cool and thus the Henschel-Turret just doesn't fit (thus, hope they exchange the distribution)
No such thing as a 'Porsche' or 'Henschel' turret, all turrets were designed by Krupp with final assembly by Weggmann. The first 50 turrets are 'Initialen-Turm'(initial turrets)and the rest are 'Serien-Turm'(serial or production turrets).
As this game is supposed to be historically accurate, I thought we should be historically accurate also.
I've raised this issue earlier and based on the reply from MadMat it seems Eugen is content to stick with this misconception.
I guess they don't want the game to be as historically accurate as the blurb and advertising campaign etc makes out, but then why should that be any surprise where games companies are concerned in this day and age, say one thing and do another.
Sorry, I was under the impression that both Henschel and Porsche submitted turret designs and Krupp was the one that produced them.
The reason why I brought this up was to have the Tiger as an alternative to the Panther, as they both have strengths and weaknesses. It would be nice to at least have the choice to chose either Panthers or Tigers.
most likely they will be assigned to the 21st as the 501st circa operation goodwood.
Yes, this is likely true. You already see it in 12th SS and even 3rd and scots players: once they hit phase B, it is time to buy lots of tanks. If a player can push infantry positions in phase B while avoiding tanks against this type of player you can win. Don't forget to keep buying infantry throughout the game.
I can see it being like superheavies from the WG series where the second it gets spotted all hell will rain down upon it from planes (which brings me to another thing about planes being panic units and how they shouldn't be that responsive but I won't get into that here...even though I just did).
