Tigers, anyone?

[Mannstien]

You don't need one of them to engage warships - the Germans did with Tigers at Salerno - although it sounds like their primary role didn't given them a strong basis for an anti-ship work.

Actually if you ever get a chance to read "Inside the Nazi War Machine" by Bevin Alexander they Germans were firing a British ships in harbor with their Pz.III and Pz.IV's as evacuations were not just occurring at Dunkirk of course, I'd have to go back to read the exact part again but at one point Rommel had closed on a French port with British ships in the harbor and they immediately opened fire along with the Flak 88's on the ships trying to escape. I'm sure there are a lot more examples of this but I don't know how the game represents this, whether if you take a port with enemy ships in it and the country hasn't capitulated they get kicked out or they are destroyed. Anyone know?

I am quite sure Gentlemen, this is the original TIGER. The Koenig-tiger.

A Tiger? In Africa?

If I am not wrong, British first engaged Tiger in Africa in 1942

In HOI3 ships leave the harbour in the exact moment as the province is captured by the enemy. So there is no possible groundforces vs. navalforces scenario. In HOI4 it will be the same i guess

I'm pretty sure he was making a joke about the tiger of the panthera tigris variety, not the panzerkampfwagen sub-species...

It's also a Monthy Python joke.

I knew it was a reference to something, but I've seen the Meaning of Life enough times that I really should have got that! Well shame on me, I suppose.

I hope they have this Tiger in the game

You're all missing the best Tiger!

HMS Tiger, a Royal Navy battlecruiser and the last of the 'Splendid Cats' to be decommissioned, in 1931. She survived the cullings of the Washington Naval Treaties, and had she been retained and modernized as her immediate successors Renown and Repulse were, Britain could have had four battlecruisers in 1939 instead of three.

Admittedly I am cheating here, but you can't have enough information about cool battlecruisers, can you? And besides, if the name fits.

It often doesn't strike people how enormous the Tiger II is. Its nickname of "King Tiger" is certainly very fitting
