After the remodeling of the Tiger II and Tiger II Sla.16 in the November 2025 patch, the tank has been nerfed in a way that only a few players have noticed—its bomb protection and overall survivability against air attacks. It is now incredibly easy to bomb the Tiger II, even with a bomb that clearly misses the target. And it’s not only bombs; rockets like HVARs and RP-3s can easily take it out through overpressure.
It is clear that this is a consequence of the model being reworked, since older tanks like the Jagdtiger or the Tiger II (10.5) do not have this issue and are fairly survivable. This, in my opinion, isn’t fair because the Tiger II was previously nerfed in terms of mobility and is already an easy target.
We have proven all of this in-game and in custom lobbies, where we tested many different air-to-ground ordnance options and concluded that only the new models of the King Tiger are suffering from this issue.
They also recently changed the effective range of bombs so that smaller bombs reach further and bigger bombs reach shorter (if i remember correctly).
If you believe something is incorrectly modeled in the game compared to IRL then you need to provide sources for you claims. What kind of sources are required are listed on the bug reporting site:
You can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)
dunno seems good. But don’t give up on Germany yet, if you only got the first tiger 2 then that one is just a POS, keep grinding and get the 2H, its so much better
Iv cut my loses. Look at german win rate at 6.7… i played GB when i started WT like a year ago and solid shot put me off playing ground till a few weeks back.
Bashed germany, low ranks are pretty fun… got tiger, realised its hot garbage. Looked at premium at same BR with more armour and faster and called it a day.
Premiums that are so much better at same BR stink the place out
