How do I use Tiger?





This is guide for usage of Tiger.
Tiger Specs
Tiger is very finnicky machine. Tiger H1 must be treated like child and respect for proper usage. Being treated well and made happy, Tiger is more like kitty cat to you and a thermonuclear multi-dimensional sabretoothed tiger to the enemy.

Tiger frontal armor is very good for building crawling. Tiger likes concrete jungle and is king of it.

Tiger gun is very good for penetration and damage. Tiger should usually use AP. Tiger shells do not like frontal Stalinium armor of IS-2, for it is too communist. Try shooting around it.

Tiger gun also does not like the tea padded armor of the British, mainly tanks like the Black Prince will try to hunt Tiger for sport.

Tiger gun also does not like trolling M4 Shermans. Tiger gun feels offended and will try to keep feeding the troll until the troll wins.

Tiger's MG is more like a signal gun to communicate morse code to the enemy and the one message is "I am here." Unless crew is exposed, then it is "Meow."

Tiger also had a career before WWII as a lumberjack. Use the MG to cut trees.

Tiger is not fast or slow. Tiger should be accompanied by other Tigers for a feast of Russian, British and American tears. Tiger likes friends and company and will even let the smallest Marder of StuG by its side as a cozy comfy little friend to hug.

Tiger's weakest place is lower glacis. Tiger should not expose lower glacis because other tanks like the Tiger's soft spot and will try to tickle it.

Tiger also doesn't let its sides be touched, or its behind. That is sexual.

Tiger is revolted by APCR and Ukrainium 122mm High Explosive and 152mm High Density Vodka Derp Rounds (Also known as AP). Tiger likes to maintain diet of Russian and American steel to keep healthy.

Tiger also doesn't like the taste of the 17 pound Concentrated Tea Rounds of the British. Tiger is more of an oriental tea kind of tank and likes the taste of chamomielle and chais.

Tiger also cant handle the HAMBURGER FREEDOM NAZI-DESTROYING TANK rounds from the American SPG and M6 "Thomas the Dank Engine" tanks. Tiger keeps a very close watch on its weight and cannot afford to eat more than it does already.

Tiger is several tons of pure muscle. Tiger should try to tip over tanks and eat them alive.

Tiger's muscles can also be exploited to help friends retreat if they are getting hurt. Use the tow cable and try to shoot for them.

Tiger does not like to be outflanked or surrounded. Tiger is very emotional and doesnt handle group bullying very well.
How to Prowl with the Tigers
Incorrect usage of Tigers humiliates it. Tiger may feel like tiny tank at end of game.



Tiger has many friends, big and small, and even the smallest Marder III will do. Have a few accompany you and share the salty tears of German biasccusations.

Other Tigers, H1 and E1, and even the Japanese cousin will also help you help prowling. Try to get together with other, older Tigers. The elders know what theyre doing, and you may just carry some knowledge next time you go solo.

Tiger's main enemies are KV-2, SU/ISU-122/152, IS-2, Ferdinands, Walker Bulldogs, the British and other more vicious Tigers, including their more evolved cousins the Tiger IIs. Panthers are also a match for the Tiger if you arent careful.

Tiger's main prey are unwary T34s, M18s, M10s, and will also snack on undertiered tanks much to other's upsetness.

Tiger should stay away and angle armor if there is no cover on maps like Mozdok. If there are buildings, take advantage. Tiger is king of concrete jungle.

If Tiger is fighting on map that has no buildings, Tiger must stay low and on the prowl, constantly moving. Tiger is suprisingly fast, and, as always, cannot handle group bullying very well.

Tiger, like Siberian and snow leopard cousins, enjoys snow. If you can somehow give Tiger its winter coat it will not dissapoint you in maps like Finland. where it can easily win the fight for points A, B, and C.

Tiger also enjoys long walks on the beach and is a great lover. Maps like Jungle are great if Tiger stays near the water places.

Tiger's least favourite map is Poland. Tiger cannot go attack or take advantage of its prowling prowress in the main lanes of the kurwaland city and must take more orthodox routes to capture the church.

Tiger can also into Ash River. Hill combat is something a Tiger can do well, given if there isn't anyone going to tickle its lower glacis immediately.
Realism with Tiger
Realistic battles with the Tiger is difficult, especially if you can aim and fire that 88mm you got in the turret. Here are some tips.

All rules apply similarly with the whole armor game. However you want to practice shooting from beyond 500m. Tiger does well, even before that range, but your objective here is to kill the medium, light, SPGs and any other armor class that is not heavy.

Historically the IS-1/2 had stalemate gunfights against the Tiger at long ranges. Ignore any heavy tank that is far away, but keep a good eye on them if they are within 700 meters.

Stay aware, a Tiger is not invincible. Not by a longshot, not in RB. An Easy 8 might just shoot your engine out after failing to shoot it 3 times.

The Tiger is slow. Placement is everything. Have your placement idea ready, even before loading into the map.

Foliage is great for the prowling Tiger. Keep hidden, and the ambushing Tiger can do wonders.

Keep watch for enemy aircraft. The Tiger E has a top mounted MG. Don't be afraid to use it if you have nothing else to worry about. You'd be suprised to see what 7.7mms can do.
What if you are not Tiger?
Okay, maybe you are on way to getting Tiger, or Panther. Then you ask: How to cope with magnificent kitty machine on way to battle?

Tiger is friendlier than one may think!

Tiger can be used as a leader, and guides its smaller friends into battle.

But what if enemy side?

Tiger is invincible. You cannot kill Tiger.
Tiger II: An Introduction to a Different Beast
As of recent tidings, I find that there is a constant need for a Tiger II bit in here. The Russians have gotten wise to the Tiger I's tricks, so they've finally gotten ahold of my sekrit dokuments





This is the start where all information on Tiger I's more evolved cousin, Tiger II, is provided. IS TOP SECRIT, NO SHARING

The Tiger II is seperated into 4 subspecies of tank and all will be discussed in this guide:

All Tiger Chassis are the same.

The Tiger II Porche, will be just called the P. (Taxonomy: Germanicus Tigris Porsche)
FEATURES:
This Tiger has a rounded, raised turret, making it more susceptible to being shot in the turret ring, while giving amazing resistance to HE based shells. The commanders cupola bulges from the side where it is located, another vulnerable spot. The turret mantlet can be described as a pyramid like block.

The Tiger II Henschel will be called the H. (Taxonomy: Germanicus Tigris Henschel)
FEATURES:
This Tiger has a blockier, thicker, more practical turret with wide turret cheeks, giving it the same resistance to HE based shells, but also being quite resistant to APHE. The commander's cupola is stationed above the turret. The mantlet looks like a street light bottom.

The Tiger II H with 105mm will be called the 105. (Taxonomy: Germanicus Tigris Henschel Donger)
FEATURES:
This seldom seen Tiger looks a lot like the H, however the main adaptation to it is that it has a 105mm cannon instead of an 88mm. It is distinctive at long distance due to the gun length.

The Diesel Tiger H is self explainitory. (Taxonomy: Germanicus Tigris Henschel Tractoricus)
FEATURES:
This rare, endangered Tiger takes the H design, adds tracks and give it a faster speed due to a new engine, but makes it more susceptible to being seen.

Each Tiger is better at a particular environment than the other. However, both turrets have a particular survival tactic they employ to survive the match. By the way, you're also facing early Cold War tanks and the like, so survival is a better word than kill.

Tiger II Chasiss Main Tactics are much akin to that of the regular old Tiger I. You just have a pointier bit at the front than a cluster of flat plates; just watch your MG port, sides, and back. This Tiger is also ticklish.

Porche Turret:
It may not seem like it, but this turret is extremely durable to HEAT, HE, early APHE and some AP at its tier. There have been many times I've been struck by rockets and shells alike that should have killed me. The secret to its survivbility is its cheeks: thick plated, and sloped. The reccomended combat range for this turret against tanks at its tier is about .7km, which for its gun is super easy.

Henschel Turret:
A great improvement on its younger cousin, a Tiger II with a Henschel turret has greater resistance to AP due to the sheer thickness of its plating. Reccomended combat range is .3km to anything that is not a heavy tank, then it is a 1.2km. See Tiger in RB for reasons why.

10.5cm:
This tank is strictly long range. Enough said.

Diesel:
This is a strange beast; this Tiger can fill the role of a standard Tiger II, while being able to cover ground like a Jagdtiger, but with a 88mm gun. This Tiger should take advantage of its motor, and be behind the Ru 251s and the lighter tanks at its tier, as more of a supporting role. Combat range varies.
Cousins of Tiger
This section covers the species of Tiger that aren't covered in any other parts. This mainly is the Jagdtiger (Germanicus Tigris Testudo), which is much like a turret ring-less 1.05cm Tiger II.

"You cannot kill Tiger."

The KV2 do not agree, for he BIG. Tiger is big, but not KV2 BIG

And where should I hide, mister smarty pants, huh? It takes time to aim at ultra-fast T-44 or some unpenetratable IS. While you aim - you are dead. So it's no use, Tiger is totally useless.

:DEUflag:The short story is just play the Tiger in Sim mode and stay far away from your enemys, if you more than like about 500m from your enemys they most likely will bounce if your Tiger is angled. And dont go into close combat if not needed, with the right Tanker the Tiger is a beast even in close combat but keep in mind the most enemys can kill you in close combat. Thats it keep distance to your enemy and dont try to go in city and you should win when you watch your.:DEUflag: flanks
