Model Updates to the Tiger II and Tiger II (Sla.16)!

You invalidated your own previous commet, nice work!

And thats happend because Germany 7.0 and 7.3 basically dont exist (only 2 trash vehicles in TT) so 7.7 is basically fill by 6.7.

I near reach 80% win ratio with T26E5 i practically all battles are against Germany. My poor Tiger 2 105 is under 40%. Looks like we are playing different game LOL.
Im very interested in buy the Tiger 2 sla. but after this week of completely massacrin Germany…hell no.
I still thinking play Germany in rank 4 and 5 is a waste of time.

I would say that’s part of the issue some teams have (and part of why the old removed German vehicles should return) but it’s not the whole story either.

Tending to be newer players, they don’t know how to make use of their Tiger IIs even in an uptier situation - which they absolutely could, the limitation is not the tank but their skill.

At the same time, they often misuse, or outright do not bring, the many vehicles Germany has in that BR range that are basically BR-agnostic.

This is my 7.7 lineup:

Ru doesn’t care about BR. Like most light vehicles, it works fine anyway. The PaK Puma would also work fine in this lineup (I occasionally include it and exclude it depending on what I feel like doing). LeKPz is also an adequate scout if you don’t have the Ru. The ammo sucks, but that’s true at 6.7 also.

Maus is perfectly competitive at this BR.

SPz is a piece of trash and I think I’ll remove it from this lineup the next time I play 7.7 and put the Ju 288 C instead for the 2500kg bombs. But at least in theory, this vehicle also doesn’t care about uptiers. It has no armour anyway, it has scouting anyway, it pens 400mm with heat anyway.

Tiger II Sla, perfectly adequate if you know what you’re doing.

Jagdtiger donks every heavy in this BR range.

Dicker is there mostly for the memes, though on a couple maps (Test Site or the sand version of El Alamein) you can do super well with it even at 7.7. Could replace this with a Puma, or a fighter, or something else depending on your preferences.

PzH 2000 needs no presentation.

Wiesel can rat. Kugel struggles a bit at 7.7 but still gives nice lineup depth.

Is this an exceptional meta lineup? Nope. But you have a bunch of good support options for the vehicles you actually want to be playing at 7.7… the PzH 2000 and the Maus.

There are over 100k players online as I type this comment, so it goes without saying that we’re all having different experiences.

The point imho is simple. I’m hardly an exceptional player. If I’m getting those results consistently over hundreds of matches, it means two things - it’s possible for a normal but experienced player to get it done, and you don’t have to carry all the time either (it happens regularly, but no single player can replace an entire team). That’s all.

I like it a lot, but it also depends on your playstyle. It certainly plays very differently from a T26E5. People try to use it like a breakthrough tank and die.

Tiger 1 for USSR . Sadly.

Probably

Lets go with Tiger 1 first:

In War Thunder Tiger H1 i guess? VEHICLES (1–250)
The ‘early’ Tiger Is – the first 250 tanks was powered by a 642bhp Maybach HL 210 P45 petrol engine. - Incorrect in game
Power: 642 metric bhp at 3,000rpm Maybach HL 210 P45 12-cylinder 21-litre petrol engine - Incorrect in game
Maximum road speed: 38kph - Incorrect in game
Maximum cross-country speed: 20kph - Incorrect in game
Power-to-weight ratio: 11.5hp/tonne - Incorrect in game
Combat weight: 56 tonnes - Incorrect in game
Main gun rate of fire: 15rpm - Incorrect in game

Not sure which Tiger is here…i don’t think it exist or mismatched with Tiger H1 and Tiger E - VEHICLES (251–391)
The mid-production sequence commenced in late April 1943 with vehicle 251 and continued until chassis number 824
All Tiger Is after vehicle 251 featured the more powerful 694bhp Maybach HL 230 P45 engine
as well as an improved transmission, which marginally boosted the vehicle’s off-road performance. - Incorrect in game

Vehicle (391-496) in War Thunder maybe? Tiger E?
Next, from vehicle 391 in July 1943, Tiger Is featured a redesigned commander’s cupola in the turret with armored periscopes instead of visors. - Correct in game

From September 1943 onwards (Vehicle 496), the design discontinued the expensive and little-used wading equipment, as an economy measure to boost delivery rates. Tiger Is completed after this date were also outfitted with Zimmerit paste to protect them from infantry-delivered magnetic mines. - Correct in game

Late-production modifications appeared during the last eight months of Tiger I production (January– August 1944) and featured a varying combination of the following features.

From January (Vehicle 820) onwards, selected vehicles featured the multipurpose Nahverteidigungswaffe (Close Defense Weapon). From this time on, Tigers also began to feature resilient steel-rimmed road wheels in place of the previous rubber-tired ones. - Correct in Designi guess?

Next, from March (chassis 920 onwards), the turret roof armor was increased from 25mm to 40mm to help protect against plunging fire. Then from around chassis 1100 in April, Tigers featured the monocular TzF 9c sight in place of the previous binocular TzF 9b one(25°) - Correct in E model but not in H1.

Other minor modifications introduced during this period included the addition of stowage brackets on the turret sides to hold five spare track links and the replacement of the two hull roof mounted headlamps by a single one fitted onto the driver’s front plate - Incorrect lights on H1, i mean there is no lights. when it should be 2.

Tiger II , or King Tigers…
Tiger 2 in War Thunder… Or I guess? Pz.Kpfw.Tiger.Ausf.B (Fgst.Nr. V1)
To avoid production delays and to maximize vehicle hardware interchangeability, it was decided to use the HL 230 P30 engine.
Engine: 600 bhp at 2600rpm - Incorrect in game
Maximum speed (road/cross-country): 41.5kph/20kph - Incorrect in game

Tiger 2 (1-50) or Pz.Kpfw.Tiger.Ausf.B (Fgst.Nr. V1-V3)
The embrasure of the machine gun, two opening for the gun sight (T.Z.F.9B/1) - Incorrect in game, should be 25°, C model is 40° (
Panzerkamfwagen Tiger Ausf.B - (Fgst.Nr. V1) Completed in November 1943 - hinged flat track guards on the front - no tool stowage or zimmerit (as in most Versuchs-series (all other production)) - 25mm thick plates for and aft on turret roof (as produced originally for the VK 45.02 (P) - Incorrect in game (only later in 280001 were cut down and changed to 40mm and curved)
Engine exhaust system - V1 and V2 had bent pipes, yet some of them till 280047 1944 had straight pipes.
Roof was 25mm thick, Only cupola ,loader hatch and ventilation fan was 40mm thick. - In Correct in game

Module specs:
(T.Z.F.9B/1) - The head of the gun sight could be moved though an arc of +30° to -20°. Each of the two telescopes had an optical lenght of 814mm. Magnification was 2.5x with field of view of 25° (Equal to 444 meters wide at a range of 1000 meters) though the 5mm diameter exit pupil.
