      ​@@tankonaut Im pretty sure that German CAS is a bit more dominant than US. US CAS is mostly fighters with 2 bombs and a few HVARs while germany has that and aircrafts with guns that can pen Heavys quite easily. The closest thing the US has is the PBJ1 wich is very difficult to use and its 75mm gun fires slowly and has a slow muzzle velocity

    Angling is the key....I used to die early too but now getting better at it as I angle more. Basically you need to keep few things in mind.
    1. If there' s a vantage point ....try to get there first before the enemy does.
    2. Do not rush blindly.
    3. Make sure your flanks are well covered on all sides....
    4. Find your enemy first and get a fix on them....see first without being seen. And if you are spotted first then change positions...use the smoke shells.
    5. Fire and manuever.

    @sharpshooter13ify ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Now that we’ve learned how to effectively play tiger time for effective counter tiger strats
    1: the gun to track to side combo, aim for the main cannon, if done correctly say bye bye to being one shot, next destroy the track, machine guns or cannons are fine, once immobilized flank it on its side and let it rip.
    2: smoke rounds: the biggest advantage a tiger has is its range, use smoke rounds to either cover your approach or blind the tank itself in long or close quarters, this is especially effective at covered firing positions as it forces them to leave cover to attack or hope the enemy rushes in front of them
    3: big armor piercing guns and ammo: self explanatory, anything under 75mm will struggle even hitting straight on, the bigger and longer the gun and it’s ammo the better as it gradually renders even corner facing useless.

    Don't forget to:

    -retract your cupola so that enemy won't send you to hangar by shooting it
    -give your gunner some panzerschokolade so that he could turn your turret faster than 1° per eternity
    -put a force field generator on your massive muzzle brake so that you won't get your barrel broken 20 times in a single fight
    -avoid getting put against the big HE slingers that plague this br bracket, stuff with HEATFS like the M36 and the M-51, against the IS-2, the centurions...

I had domminated the match, easiliy dispatching targets and capping points. The box shape allowed me to round a corner which had a pershing. Since i came around at an angle, i survived, he did not.
    The second match 6.3 uptier, had me over pushing very aggressively. Even the tiger 2 held back. I quickly found myself in there spawn, and died.

      Sounds like some fun games! yes the tiger plays very different depending on if you are uptiered or downtiered - if you see my lineup video the strategy I often adopt in uptiers is to play heavy tanks (especially the tiger) second or third spawn. That way the enemy's best tanks are often dead and the Tiger can play more aggressively :)

    The Tiger has an weakspot when its angled. When you encounter a T-34-85 they can easily penentrate your side lower plate that has just 60mm of armour. That happens me almost all the time. As we know the 85mm that the T-34-85 uses can penentrate angled armour quite good.

      I agree 100% but I rarely get shot there - maybe because I play the Tiger as an open country tank in hilly terrain and avoid cities as much as possible. When you leverage your gun depression against Russia your lower hull is less visible and they don't have your gun depression.

  • @fallshimjager1
    @fallshimjager1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another advice is to bring 25 rounds max to empty the sides of the hull of ammo.
    I still laugh when I remember that a PT-76 and a solid shot tank penned me from the side but did absolutely no damage due to no ammo being there like they expected, I did the neutral steering with the turret and they died, and that was at breathing range.
    For the Jumbo, it really depends on who shoots first. The Jumbo will always aim for the barrel, wiggle the turret, make it miss, and then you can break the tracks of it. The Tiger can be a sitting duck without tracks but so is the Jumbo with the MG port on sight, the Tiger has enough HE filler in the AP round to end it on one shot.
    As for angling, it's quite easy, turn the turret until it's just past one of the front corners of the hull, then rotate the hull until that corner is pointing head on to where you want to watch, and voila, you have 200mm+ of armor on the hull, and the turret is trolly enough to deflect shots it shouldn't survive.

    I once done a 13 kill in a full uptier with tiger E. Always, always angle as soon as you see a tank no matter if he is looking at you or not. Plan the direction of movement that allows you to angle the hull to the direction where potential threats would appear. Know your enemies’ weak spots and take time for better aim cuz most of the time they can’t penetrate you as well.

  • @sniperh2o325
    @sniperh2o325 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Personally I find the jumbo to be better in terms of 1 on 1. A jumbo can be quite tricky to disable effectively when the jumbo has just about every advantage aside for penetration. Bur against a H1 its usually a shot to the capola, then either a disabling shot like the track, and a finisher to the capola again, or if it's a tiger E, barrel, 50 cal a track, and flank. A tiger can't pen the hull or turret, and the smaller gun on the jumbo makes shooting out its barrel more difficult than the jumbo shooting the tiger. Not to mention the jumbo Armour is still very capable against guns that can pen up to 200mm excluding the is2 up. The tigers Armour even angled starts to faulter around 150-200mm and it's turret is only 100mm at some parts.
    Objectively played well the tiger 100% is extremely capable and lethal if not for the players themselves hindering the tank. And objectively the tiger is more capable due to a better gun with slightly worse Armour and speed. But the jumbo is better 1 on 1

    • @tankonaut
      @tankonaut  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes sir, Jumbos are definitely one of the trickier opponents you face in a Tiger, especially the 76mm versions. Yes, you have to get good at penning that mg port or track side or you are in trouble.

    To add, your main competition at your br is the Jumbo. 75mm can’t kill you in one go unless you get ammo racked. But players using the US around that tier will always use the track and barrel method.
    To my fellow jumbo mains. Pack with you at least 5 APCR. After tracking/barreling/cupola shots, you can line up an APCR to hit their ammo in the sponsons to kill them frontally.
