Tiger E at 6.0

i am so sick of fighting super pershings, jumbo pershings and the t34 in this thing. The thing is the tank isnt bad because you can angle it but that fact that its in 6.0 and barely any other nations have any 6.0 tanks means you’ll get uptiered to 6.7 which sucks because you are out classed by everything. I dont really have problems with it except the constant uptiers facing heavies, its basically a medium tank pretending to be a heavy tank, i get that weakspots exists but those are unreliable and tiny like the cupola or the mg port. Ive been playing this tank as basically a semi flanker because of how normal it is to face heavy pershings. if you think im just a wehraboo who rushed the tiger 1 im not im a french/swedish main because i like fast tanks and autoloaders, im only grinding the german tree because of the maus.

The Tiger E is fine, I played the Tigris which is essentially the same thing back when it came out and did perfectly fine. For a heavy tank, the Tiger uptiers surprisingly well. The armor holds up decently against the American 76mm and Russian 85mm, and the Pzgr shell acts more like SAP than APHE.

im not complaining about the armor im more frustrated that you are gonna fight jumbo pershings as a heavy tank

Welcome to the world of “Death Sphere” APHE, where tanks with inadequate penetration maintain a higher BR because players can aim at a tiny weak spot.

And angling means so little when facing HEAT-FS, and Russian 85+ that has absurd angle performance.

T26E5 is pretty easy to kill, check prot anal.

i have already check and both aphe rounds almost cant pen the mg port only leaving the cupola that only reliable way of killing it

The Tiger is just a very average vehicle at best.

Tbf, tigers are special. They don’t use APHE mechanics, they use AP + HE mechanics (Overpressure).

Playing tigers so far, they kind of feel like a slightly slower cent mk1 to me with much better firepower.

not really tbh the ammo it gets is very good my problem is just gaijin’s shitty br mechanic

It’s nothing out of the ordinary at 6.0 at least.

And i hate it with arl 44 facing t34stz’s it is the same thing.the weak spots arent even that hard

Brother.

No, If I used to play the H1 MODEL at 6.3, you should be fine where the E model is.

Technically you can play any tank at any BR. But once your Tiger is facing HEATFS and Russian 85mm that laughs at angles, all your Tiger advantages are gone.

Does it worked when it was up there? If it goes down to 5.3 at one point obviously it doesn’t work up there.

Almost everything you’re facing at 6.0+ is going to be a 90mm or 122.

lmao

Sorry, advantageously play and be top 5-8 players most matches, then your should be fine playing the Tiger E at 6.0

That is why when playing USA when I have germany in the team we almost always lose, right.

The average German player at 6.0 is just strongly below average when it comes to war thunder skills.
