Tiger II Guide: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNhjqNl039TdeKc.html Panther Guide: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icyRedeFydS9ppc.html

Step 1: angle Step 2: aim Step 3: why did you stop angeling? Angle again Step 4: fire Step 5: hope you're not in a 6.3 game

Some things to add: 1. Learn enemy tank weak spots! 2. Post pen damage means nothing if you can not pen! Use the PZGR39 ONLY! Though if you get in a fight with a Jumbo then a couple PZGR40 rounds can be useful but if you use tip one you will not need to use PZGR40. 3. Only carry 20-25 rounds max. The more rounds you carry the more likely you are to be ammo racked! Believe me you will almost never use all of your 20-25 rounds. 4. Tiger 1 H, has smoke launchers on the hull which can get in the way when angling or trying to get a gun on target. Always keep this in mind when using this Tiger! 5. Pay attention to your MINI MAP!! Can't tell you how many players get tunnel vision. It's not the tank that you can see that is the most dangerous! 6. Listen for the sounds of engines! Trust me pay attention to engine sounds you will get more kills and piss off more people. Nothing like getting called a cheater after a match! ;P 7. Learn the Maps - Knowing good places to position your tank can really help you rack up the kills. 8. Keep your turret moving when reloading. Trust me getting penned through the mantlet is a thing or even worse getting your gun knocked out. Good hunting!

you deserve way more views than what you get

step 1: play game for 6 years

Tip: carry 20 shells of ammo because it removes the tank shells from the side ammo rack

You should do more guides like this, it's incredibly helpful! Great vid :)

Got a subscription from me, I can tell you put alot of work into these videos. keep it up brother, youll go far.

For the love of God tankenstien, only bring max 30 shells in a match. Your not going to face 80 tanks, so that makes you a ticking time bomb to get ammo racked. Sorry for yelling at you

you know what ive been waiting for a warthunder youtuber to actually dedicate videos to specific tank guides, like how to best utilize tanks such as the jpz 4-5 and others ! especially common or often used vehicles would be awesome maybe a vid on something like the super pershing or more unique tanks ? ! either way love this type of vid !

thank you for this. i rushed through BRs just to get to the tiger and was getting my ass kicked non stop once i used it. simply angling the tank as you mentioned has made my survival time so much better. ya got a subscriber out of me!!

I'm happy that my grind finally feels like it payed off. I was able to take out a t85 and pantherD after this.

you were right.. I was frustrated when I got this tank @ first especially how it died easily when not angled.. when I learned to angle, this thing is a beast.. great video tank.. love the comprehensive series..

Straight and to the point, just a high quality guide. Very deserved like!

Loved this guide.

Thank you very much for the helpful video, I’m a new player and I’ve been grinding a couple trees trying to get my play style figure outed and I just ground out my tiger 1. Found everything in this video helpful and relative a year later after posting.

Great stuff.....thanks man. Love the intro music...

Amazing guide!!! I’m gonna share it with my friends.

Crazy that I’m watching guides to tanks I don’t have just yet, man I’m excited

Tldr: ANGLE GOD DAMN IT

Great informational vid appreciate it‼️

best war thunder video I have seen ! .. Thank you.

here you go mate you deseve it happy holidays dude

This guy's the best! ❤

Thanks for all that job, it will help !

Great job, thank you. I always thought those were weld beads, now I know.

watched this and got first place on my team. good content man

Pro tips: - Pzgr. is now better than PzGr 39. Difference being that Pzgr. always kills in in one shot due to the new overpressure system. Difference in pen is negligible and only matters when facing IS-2's at long range. - Angling your hull is not very reliable at close ranges as soviet 85mm's can pen your 62mm lower side at

Thank you for this.

12:33 nice shot! Its shots like these that make me love war thunder

My first experience with the tiger h1. I took and held c point on a tropical map for almost the whole match. When I headed back to it just before the match was over. I saw two tiger tanks on my own team hiding behind a hill behind c. I was so pissed at them. The only good thing about it is I got 25 kills out of it. Had my reload speed been slightly faster, I would have got the tank that killed me.

Great guide! I hope this guide can help people who just got tiger 1, and maybe increase tiger 1 win rate a little bit(though 53% win rate is pretty good, i thought it was gonna be lower, idk how is 2 got 40ish% win rate)and make german player don't cry about tiger 1 br. Btw as I've noticed why did you bring so many round? 23 round seems enough for me and reduced ammo rack explosion significantly. Btw keep up the good work you're truly underrated WT youtuber

well thought out guide.

you saved my life thanks

Yayyyy you got it done!

Every german newbie should watch this excellent video! Something I wanted to add: Gosh man you said people should angle that thing yet in your gameplay I see nothing but aggressive underangling. It is usually a reliable strategy to "overangle" to the point that your side 80mm and frontal 102mm plates are mostly immune to the common ally guns. That may expose the 62mm plate behind the tracks but for some reason most players I face dont shoot there. It is important to give your opponents minmimal time to react to you, both when you brawl and snipe so they can't exploit your weak spots (including the overangled 62mm plate). As you mentioned, shooting without hitting the breaks is very important, because it gives the enemy tankers a lot less time to aim, I think.

Its amazing that i just watched a few vids like that just to play the tiger properly xD,man you gotta love or hate war thunder to do it :D.

I recently got back from a year break from war thunder. A year ago playing with a tiger against my br and when angling was just ez. Now tiger is still good but I keep playing against 6.7, FV4005, Tortoises, IS-2, cant pen and angling is uselss.

I actually believed that I would be invincible when I purchased the Tiger tank. Imagine my disappointment after getting wrecked right left center😂

In maps like the poland map, i like to camp under the arches. Its very good at keeping aircraft away and you have a good defensive position.

The Tiger I was an amazing tank in WWII. You're not going to play against tanks from WWII though :^)

I find HEAT shells effective for enemies hiding behind small cover or hills. The lower velocity allows for a more angled shot. Literally the only time I use, so I only load up a few.

If you want to feel the Tiger's mythical power you need to play with IL2 Sturmovik Tank crew DLC before any of the true counterparts arrive!

thanks

Finnally ill end matches like Otto Carius and not Michael Wittman

Just got the Tiger yesterday

I literally never play germans and i want to try em thanks!!!

That Toturial came a few weeks too late for me XD

little thing to know, the tiger h1 has been moved to br 5.7, also, just reaserch all modification, it give you a reaserch bonus for a reaserch vehiule

I watched your videos everynight till i fall asleep. I hope you make a flanking video guide. I don't know how to flank properly. Thank you

now i'm waiting for tiger 2 guide

Hey, can you make tips/guides for leopard 1? That would be grateful

Im 3,000 research away from getting my first Tiger, (the Tiger-H1) and this video helped me tremendously, however I have one question: What is the average kills per game for this tank? Plz reply with your average kills in the tiger H1 so i can get an idea thank-you!

A thing to add: Don't front line brawl in the Tiger H1, as it can lead you to hyperfocusing on one target and leading to a quick death because the tank you're focusing on has support. You can brawl a little bit, if you know their weaknesses and if you're in the E, but the H1 is a no go, due to the S-mine launchers.

thank

Nooooo! how will I dunk on bad players with my bias machine

If you angle you live. Proof my first game of the tiger h1. Someone destroyed my cannon, so all I had was a machine gun. I hadn't finished researching Parts, because it was my first game. After taking out my cannon I kept angling and shooting my machine gun, and got 8 assets with no deaths.

I would get tracks before crew replenishment, for mobility

I really need a Guide on how to use the tiger h1 i really appreciate it

Imma put down this stuff (my opinion on tiger 13,000 xp away) Treat it like the Panzer 4, it has a good gun but weak armor, so either angle or if you know the enemy has a really good gun hide yourself or the hull From what I have figured out and heard that 102mm plate wont come in handy if you don't angle, considering the Panzer4 literally has a 164mm pen shell, yeah angle Get the panther after because it's faster and will help in CQB maps ALWAYS look around corners in enemy territory, you are never tol paranoid Shoot the font of M4s near the turret because that spot is weak and most of the time instantly kills the enemy If your gun gets deded (or any part of it for that matter) smoke and run, kamikaze wont save you.

I see you saying that getting ammo racked is an issue with this tank, but if you carry 10-15 rounds, that might be less of an issue over your crew getting knocked out

You can also use less shells so they put it in a safer place

Shouldnt you research brakes before dampening? I heard online that the dampening does basically little to nothing at stopping the wobblyness when going so braking faster to get still would help more no? Just a thought. Im pretty new to this game anyways with only about 130 hours under my belt. I unlocked the tiger and took it into arcade just to get blasted in the first 30 seconds, your vids are really helpful thanks!

Also a tip: carry minimal amount of ammo, I find 20 plenty Also if you have no other option use ur engine as armour

I am not a good angler to say the least, I have gotten better, but to practice i usually run with 15-20 shells and make it count

a very good tip for everyone playing wt is to bring 10-15 ammo so you dont get ammo racked

guys just remember that if you use the pzgr. if you manage to pen you are gonna kill by overpressure the enemy i use it a lot and cant find the penetrating power difference betwen the pzgr39 and pzgr.

The tradeoff is that while it faces stronger opponents, it's transmission doesn't ever randomly break. 😂

I guess Germans were confident about the vulnerable sides of this tank even though all the ammo is over there because they planned attacking as packs of tanks and all the other friendly combat elements around them. Do you think that's the case here?

Blowing this tank is simply a stress reliever for me. T-44, IS-2, Jumbo 76, and T29 (if the player purposefully uptiers it to 6.3 or 6.7) totally destroys tigers even in a 1v3 scenario (ive had a couple of games where i just drive around in my T-44 clicking on tigers while bouncing off their unaimed shots) Sadly this might not be the case anymore :( Also, i personally dont think angling the tiger will help much against 122mm D-25T used by various soviet heavies or even the 85mm D-5T. Especially if you have your left (right from enemy's perspective) corner of the hull exposed. It is barely 105mm thick, and a penetration to that area will 100% detonate the ammorack. The only way to even have a chance of surviving a fight against something like an IS-2 is to angle while completely hiding said weakspot using obstacles. Of course this is not always possible to do in every situation (e.g. on flat maps with minimum cover available), and you might just have to accept the 5k sl repair cost.

I have tiger h1 but im not going to use it until i have the panther i already noticed on BR 3.3 with the Panzer IV that im not good enough to play at an even higher tier so i will stay at 3.0 and grind to the panther

I only hold about 15 to 20 rounds in my tanks usually, I don't have my ammo explode alot more now

The biggest weakness is probably CAS. I'm pretty sure I've been killed more times by a bomb than a tank.

What kind of ammo loadout do you recommend? And how do you angle if you don't know you're being sniped?

my own tip for playing the Tiger, consider the tank as a medium tank instead of an heavy tank, it has a decent reverse speed, a good turret traverse speed, angle in diamond shape ALL the time, the main canon can kill anything, the jumbo's weakspot is the machinegun port, your biggest weakspot is the space on the front, center of the glacis where the driver port is (one shot there and you're dead), the second important weak spot is the cupola, any shot to the sides will kill you, if you meet an IS-2 you will most likely die, you DON'T need to use the other researchable APHE shells, your basic APHE is already powerful enough to one shot everything, the other researchable shell loses penetration for more TNT. just use the tank as a support tank, sniper or a flanker, it is NOT meant to be used as a heavy tank in Warthunder. if you want an heavy tank at that BR, take a Panther and DON'T angle your panther, the front is strong enough for most tanks, if you angle a Panther you're dead (unlike the Tiger).

can you do panther next

firing on the move is great and all but, unless you are fighting a jumbo, "back it up, back it up, nah, nah, nah, back it up"

I’ve always thought that gaijin should add a “historical” mode, where you can use the German heavies to great effect, and experience which country’s tanks were actually better in their time period. honestly I don’t think it would be super unfair, if you look around KZfaq you will find hundreds of videos with M22s and BT-7s killing panthers easily. I think it would be a good challenge for experienced players in allied tanks, and a good beginner friendly environment for newer German players.

I as a Tiger player. Experience warhunder when they had it balanced against late war allied tanks. I was hard to pen. But I was invincible. I could deal out the kills. But I had to play smart. But they changed all that. I'm literally facing off against cold war tanks that can out speed, load gun me.

Tiger 1 started in WW2 as heavy tank but at the end of the war it was medium tank by german standards.

i love porsches tiger

So it seems to me that the Tiger is more or less a tank destroyer with a turret that has some armor on the front

The A variant of the 85mm would like to know your angled armour's location

Btw could you do a vid on the m26 pershing wanna know how i can bully people

Hope you cover some other tanks 5.3 5.7 br like jumbos are nightmares to deal with.

Fun fact: on the official field manual for tiger one crew, in the section for tank commander it states to always angle the hull towards the enemy. Even dividing the four corner of the hull into into meal times; you have 10.30 the front left corner as breakfast, 1.30 as lunch, 4.30as coffee, and 7.30 as dinner. When encountering a enemy angle the nearest meal towards the enemy, if there are more than one angle towards one and shoot the other first.

Fun fact. Most tanks avoided the tigers. T34s could not pen front. This was common tank warfare lesser tanks avoided bigger tanks and called in artillery. And yeah the 2 advantages the tiger had was armor and range. In tank battles the experienced crews would have multiple kills before other tanks even got in range. They often decimated t34s and Sherman's had no chance until the brits got tired of it and added their own 75mm guns aka the firefly. The greatest tank victories for US and Russia was how many they could produce.

Tiger is great in it tier. U got the deadly gun, use it. Alway angle your armor. Never go alone.

5:50 is where you need to go for the modifications

How to mark enemy ? Thanks I just started playing 3 days ago

I have gotten 1 kill with the tiger H1 and I've had it FOR 1 YEAR I get killed by anything and everything from no matter the angle no matter if it's the front or side or back I get killed in one shot by anything most the time I die when try to help with the objective 90% the time I don't even get near the objective I just get killed every time oh protect my side Everything I've fought Pins ME IN THE FRONT I TRY TO ANGLE AND WELL THAT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL

It's litterally a block of butter in WT

"This is not real life, this is War Thunder" this needs to be said more lol. When silly mechanics kill you and someone says "yeah but in real life if that happened you'd be dead too"

Any tips when fighting a Jumbo Sherman? That's the one thing that usually gets me. Literally can't pen it unless you hit the ball turret, but the ball turret is small, so what do I do?

10:40 I'm always a free kill in ground battles. I'm all about planes and I've recently bought the Challenger DS, to ... try.. and benefit from its night vision and nail a kill maybe to help with research, but fk me if I can get the hang of GB. Not even arcade is fun. Sad attempt at trying to farm the battle pass challenges when it comes to ground battle modes :))

I played the tiger after 3 matches I never touched it again because all it fights is 6.0 and up just a cardboard box with a nerf gun

literally all my games are in 6.3's with my Tiger1-H Is that because I play in a squad with friends who are all 5.3? (like are squads more likely to be put vs uptier?) Or are we just unlucky?

Who needs a guide to play the most OP tanks?

this is mostly great advice. that being said, do not shoot planes? that is not good advice. If you have a secondary MG turret, use it. kill those planes before they wreck you or your team. if you cant shoot down planes then take his advice, but i highly recommend everyone practices shooting down planes either in test drive or arcade survivals so they are not helpless when they run into good Close air support players. CAS dominates especially in the higher tiers but you have better chances if you at least try to shoot them down
