+1 incredibly cool mini tiger possibly a 5.3?
probably 100mm front plate plus no angle probably 5.3-5.0
probably more 5.7-6.0 as its a tiger, but far lighter with the same frontal protection with only 180ps less than the E model (what it should have. the HL230 on the E and tiger 2 were all restricted to the same horsepower)
Yk this is basically just a earlier vk45.01 what sits a 5.3 in game with the same 8.8 and basically the same engine as tiger h1 there’s no reason it wouldn’t also be 5.3

the VK45.01 and the premium one were forgotten when the tigers went up, even tho they are just as potent. it shouldnt be the basis of where this should go at all

The VK is literally a tiger that cannot angle, with an abysmal turret rotation and the only saving grace of the vehicle is the speed in reverse. of course it has not been increased in br

I have played a fair bit of the premium one, yes its got another 100mm but the traverse is a non issue as the hull can move plenty fast enough. Similar to the early panthers in that sense, the “bad” traverse is more than usable and the overall package is incredibly strong for the BR
VK45.01 is not the Premium Command Tiger P, this one is rarer and hasn’t got the extra 100mm of frontal armour

i know that. nobody even shoots the hull anyway as im a hull down sniper so i get the same experience but slower to get to my spots. even when im in the open i usually just get cupola sniped and die from how stupid APHE acts
No that wasn’t forgotten it’s just a downgrade compared to the command tiger version with over 120mm more frontal armour ofc its lower

lower top speed actually then the orginal tiger 1 likely also capped at 20 MPH very highly doubt it will be similiar BR to T1E1 so 5.3 most likely
its a heavy tank and should be brd as such its not a mobile medium tank it cannot really be used for flanking its a little quicker than a KV1 which is notorious for being over weight sherman jumbo is also considered slow and is faster than it

the KVs mobility is pretty good so i dont know what youre trying to prove.
Tigers suck as a heavy tank, but playing them in a “heavy cruiser” kind of role suits them perfectly in WT.
Maybe the worst statement ever

Ill elaborate.
100mm of armour is medium tank class of protection and your mobility is a little behind most mediums. Therefore you cant use it like you use a KV or Churchill, use it like a fat medium and its a beast
This thing looks so weird! The photos confuse me so much!!! +1
you get 140-130MM of armor if you angle
it isnt actually its well know fact that they where overstressed due to there weight
The KV’s strengths included armour that was impenetrable by any tank-mounted weapon then in service[10] except at point-blank range, that it had good firepower, and that it had good flotation on soft ground. It also had serious flaws: it was difficult to steer; the transmission (which was a twenty-year-old Holt Caterpillar design)[11] “was the main stumbling block of the KV-1, and there was some truth to rumors of Soviet drivers having to shift gears with a hand sledge”;[11] and the ergonomics were poor, with limited visibility.[12] Furthermore, at 45 tons, it was simply too heavy. This severely impacted the maneuverability, not so much in terms of maximum speed, as through inability to cross many bridges medium tanks could cross.[13] The KV outweighed most other tanks of the era, being about twice as heavy as the heaviest German tank at that time (before the Tiger). As appliqué armour and other improvements were added without increasing engine power, later models were less capable of keeping up to speed with medium tanks and had more trouble with difficult terrain. In addition, its firepower was no better than that of the T-34.[11] It took field reports from senior commanders “and certified heroes”, who could be honest without risk of punishment, to reveal “what a dog the KV-1 really was”.[11]
cant always angle. and you can still be blown up pretty easy through the lower hull side when perfectly angled. youre also always seeing US 76mm and 17pdrs which scoff at even a tiger 2 a fair amount of the time
in WT it is pretty solid.
your ctrlC+V from wikipedia doesnt mean anything when the KV and T-34 (and all other vehicles) dont have their ergonomic or mechanical shortcomings in WT

that your wrong its mobilitly is worse than that of the orginal tiger 1 which is as slow as a M26 pershing another notroious slow tank

doesnt mean its weight isnt modeled it was a very heavy tank that struggles to accelerate at most times
