Great toys Si I would say the Tiger unless your lads got a couple more you don't know about

 

[yak face]

I reckon the old timer might have the advantage at the moment , unless you end up down a narrow street -Kellys heroes style and the young un takes you out from the rear!!! Btw i dont think ive ever seen a tank of yours so clean Si!!!

 

[monica]

I agree with Tony,only if you do fall for a trick,you should have the upper hand or some think like in fury ,


and he is able to run behind and do your motor,

Didn't they say that the only thing that could knock a Tiger out was another Tiger!?


Your son might have battalion of Shermans tucked away somewhere.


Watch your rear he may take out one of your Maybachs!

The tigers only flaw was its over engineering, it could out range the sherman was faster, no contest, but then the Titanic was unsinkable, I'm playing safe and sitting on the fence, just remember a certain sherman commanded by oddball.

Well, he won't have anymore Shermans. His was over £100, but does everything, sound, smoke fires BB's.


Mine was a modest £50, just basic with no sound or smoke unit, but it fires BB's.


The rules are simple:


He is allowed 90 shots and me 92, that is what the two real tanks would have had.


The Tiger needs 4 hits to disable the tank-no movement just turret and gun and 8 to fully knock out. He can knock mine out with 2 hits to my rear.


The Sherman can be knocked out with 3 hits to disable and 7 to fully knockout. I can knock his out with 1 hit on the rear mind.


So tactics and cover will be essential as will conserving ammo. 90 shots sounds loads but at distance-these can shoot upto 25m how many will be hits?


Once to grips these will upgraded with metal gears, barrels, tracks and wheels. I may even add a smoke and sound unit. As it being nice and clean, not for long

This sounds like a right laugh mate

Should be, with all my RC boats now sold and the gear to go with them I wanted something RC, not fast or too expensive. My lad is really stoked about these and he loves the Sherman, I had to have the Tiger...I mean it wasn't perfect but it just looks sooooooooooooooooo mean. This could turn out to be a lot of fun or expensive as bits are blown off...probably both.

Whombought a tiger with his share of the Gold!!!

My bank is placed firmly on the tiger...because it's a tiger.
