Good day and welcome to the site! Friends, now we will talk about the real German quality, which is being seriously tested in our game. We are talking about a German heavy tank of the seventh level and this Tiger (P) guide.
This machine is pumped along the branch, which ends with the legendary, super-heavy German tank Maus, and therefore, Tiger (P) TTX should also be famous for their armor. This statement is partly true, but is it really so serious?
TTX Tiger (P)
To begin with, everyone who decides to roll this heavy into battle should know that on our side the increased safety margin characteristic of German technology and, importantly, a good basic view of 380 meters.
If we consider Tiger (P) characteristics booking, as planned, in our hands should really be a strong tank and it is really much stronger than an ordinary tiger. However, everything is relative and the declared 210-mm thickness of the armor plates is here only in two planes marked in red. If we tighten the hull, we can really confidently hold back our classmates, but many tanks of the eighth level, and even more so the nine, penetrate us quite easily. Moreover, the cheeks Tiger (P) World of Tanks, marked in orange, are generally only 80 mm thick and stick out very strongly.
If we talk about the security of the tower, there is again some kind of confusion. The gun mask is a solid screen, but it is also quite often sewn, and sometimes even machines of a lower level. But the biggest problem of the tower is deservedly considered a huge commander's cupola. In other words, heavy tank Tiger (P) it seems to have armor in the forehead, but it seems to be not.
Regarding the lateral projection, there is also something to be said. Our sides have a thickness of 80 millimeters, which allows this vehicle to confidently tank when the hull is set in a rhombus. But be careful, if you turn it too hard, the rearrangement will decrease, and there is a vulnerable ammo rack in the left front of the hull.
It is also worth noting that Tiger (P) tank big, tall and long, hiding such a barn is sometimes very difficult, and the artillery likes to target us.
Special attention is given to the mobility of our strand. It would be wrong to call it ultra-slow, however, its maximum speed is mediocre, due to the large weight, the dynamics sag a lot, and the maneuverability of Tiger (P) weak, so let's remember about art once again.
gun
Well, if in terms of general characteristics the car is not very good, most likely it will have a decent gun. This is partly true, German weapons are always famous for their accuracy and not only.
Tiger (P) gun against the background of the barrels of classmates, it does not stand out with a large alpha strike, but our rate of fire is normal, so the reward is about 2000 damage per minute without a rammer and perks.
Our cannon really stands out with its penetration parameters, in fact, heavy tank Tiger (P) World of Tanks can adequately fight even against nines, without using gold. But if you want more comfort, it is better to carry 10-20 subcalibers with you.
Among the parameters of shooting comfort, I would especially like to note a pleasant dispersion and excellent final accuracy. That just comes down Tiger (P) not as fast as we would like, and the gun also bends down only 6 degrees, which is also not the ultimate dream.
Advantages and disadvantages
In order to play the tank more confidently, you know what qualities you can count on, and which sides are better not to show the enemy, you need to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages Tiger (P) which we are going to do now.
Pros:
Large margin of safety;
Good frontal armor in combat is at the top of the list;
Not a bad review;
High accuracy of the gun;
Good damage per minute;
Excellent penetration parameters.
Minuses:
Shed dimensions;
Armor is weak in combat at the bottom of the list;
Poor mobility;
Small alpha strike;
Mediocre comfortable UVN.
Equipment for Tiger (P)
Of course, it is very important to equip your combat vehicle with additional modules before going into battle, in a sense, this can even affect the outcome of the battle. Thus, on heavy tank Tiger (P) equipment is better to put the following:
1. - will make us an even more formidable opponent, because thanks to this module, the rate of fire and DPM will increase quite well.
2. - as mentioned earlier, this tank does not have the best aiming speed, by improving it, you will more effectively implement damage.
3. - we already have a good overview, and by making it even better, we will gain an advantage over our classmates and be able to keep up with higher-level vehicles.
As is often the case, there is a good alternative to the third point -. Yes, we will lose in sight range, but we will gain even more firepower, which also makes sense.
Crew training
The right choice of skills for the tankers sitting inside the vehicle is an even more important and crucial moment. For Tiger (P) perks it is worth choosing in such a way as to increase the survivability of our tank, after all, it is heavy, increase its general parameters, and it will not be superfluous to make the gun even more comfortable:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner - , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Radio operator - , , , .
Loader - , , , .
Equipment for Tiger (P)
Of course, it’s also impossible to go into battle without consumables, especially considering the fact that we have a heavy tank in our hands, designed to hold back the onslaught of the enemy, so at least you need to buy it. But even more confidence, and if necessary, reliability, can only be obtained if you carry on Tiger (P) gear from , , . By the way, the latter can be replaced by, it will not be worse.
Tiger Tactics (P)
Considering all of the above, the strengths and weaknesses of our German, the style of playing on it is fundamentally different depending on which battle we got into.
When it comes to fighting at the top of the list, on Tiger (P) tactics fighting comes down to dominance. We, as befits a heavy tank, can boldly crawl to the front line and hold the enemy back with our armor, be sure to turn the hull, dance and go into cover while reloading.
If we talk about the battle at the bottom of the list, German heavy tank Tiger (P) WoT becomes much less formidable. Here we will be easily penetrated by a lot of people and for this reason it is better to stay behind the backs of stronger allies, playing the role of support.
It is no less effective to fight at long distances, the gun Tiger (P) World of Tanks well-aimed, thanks to good penetration, it is able to hit the enemy if you target vulnerable points or infect gold.
But in any case, you should always monitor the situation around you. You can’t engage in battle with superior enemy forces in a disadvantageous position for yourself, enemies can simply spin you. Remember also that Tiger (P) tank has poor mobility, so you need to choose the direction carefully, but you should especially be afraid of artillery.
Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger P", Porsche Type 101, "Tiger Porsche"- German heavy tank of the Second World War, the prototype of which was the VK4501 (P) tank of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
One of the agenda items was the report of the head of the armaments department on the progress of design work on the VK4501 (P) and VK3601 (H) tanks, the mock-ups of which were presented here for display. It follows from this that the tanks at the time of the meeting were already under development.
One way or another, but the promising vehicle for its time under the index VK4501 (P) did not go into series, only five vehicles were manufactured, however, 90 chassis for the Tiger (P) tanks were ordered even before the official comparative tests of the prototypes, which, in in turn, does not exclude the version that F. Porsche was confident in the victory of his offspring and prepared in advance for its serial production. Subsequently, all chassis were used for the production of self-propelled guns.
Characteristics
The undercarriage of the machine consisted of six double rollers on board, located in pairs on three bogies, with a rubber band inside the wheel, which greatly contributed to the greater wear resistance of the rubber band. Subsequently, rollers with similar bandages began to be used on the Tigers and Panthers. The torsion bars were located in the cart, and not inside the hull, as in the vast majority of tanks of that time. The drive wheel was located at the rear, as opposed to the front wheel, which was traditional for German tanks, due to which the tank became more squat.
The tank was equipped with two V10 air-cooled engines, which worked on two generators, which, in turn, fed two traction electric motors that set the drive wheels in motion.
Combat use
Due to the fact that the tanks used air-cooled engines, it was decided to use them in the African theater of operations. However, due to the unsatisfactory maneuverability of the tank, this idea was abandoned, after which all five vehicles built were transferred to the plant in Döllersheim (German. Dollersheim) for training .
To date, only one Porsche Tiger is known for certain, which participated in the battles on the Eastern Front in 1944, in the region of Galicia, where it arrived at the location of the 653rd heavy tank destroyer battalion as a command tank with tail number "003" .
SAU "Ferdinand"
On the existing chassis of the PzKpfw VI "Tiger" (P) tank, a heavy self-propelled artillery mount (ACS) of the tank destroyer class was created, a total of 90 units. At that time - the most powerful self-propelled guns in the world and the first combat vehicle, the armor thickness of which reached 200 mm.
BREM "Tiger" company "Porsche"
In September 1943, three Porsche Tigers at the Nibelungenwerke plant were converted into an armored recovery vehicle (BREM). Nothing is known about the participation in the hostilities of these machines. Apparently, all three copies have never left the territory of the plant.
In popular culture and the souvenir industry
- The PzKpfw VI Tiger P is featured in the World of Tanks MMO game, at tier 7 of the German heavy tank branch, along with the Henschel tank.

In the middle of 1941, Porsche presented an experimental heavy tank VK 3001 (P) or Typ 100 for testing. This vehicle had a number of characteristic features that distinguished it from other similar German-designed vehicles. Some of these differences had a negative impact on the project as a whole and led to the fact that the customer did not want to start mass production of new equipment. In addition, the development of a new version of the heavy tank under the designation VK 4501 (P) was already underway.
At the end of May 1941, the German command once again revised the requirements for a promising heavy tank. The experience of several previous projects showed that the new vehicle should have even thicker armor and an appropriate combat weight. When using armor up to 100 mm thick, the tank had to weigh about 45 tons. It was also necessary to use a powerful gun capable of penetrating up to 100-150 mm of armor at a distance of about 1 km. In accordance with these requirements, the development of two projects, known as VK 4501, was started.
Two organizations were involved in the development of a new armored vehicle. The project was designated VK 4501(H) by Henschel and VK 4501(P) by Porsche. Subsequently, the first project, which had the letter "H" in the title, received the approval of the customer, after which the new tank went into mass production. This machine was widely known under the name Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger. The second project ended less successfully, with fewer vehicles built.

At Porsche, the new project received its own designation Typ 101. In addition, other names were used at different stages of development. Designations were used that reflected the combat weight of the vehicle (VK 4501), the serial number in the troops (Pz.Kpfw.VI), etc. Most of the renaming was carried out in accordance with the orders of the customer represented by the army.
In the new project, it was proposed to use the available developments as widely as possible, taking into account the updated requirements for technology. It was planned to keep the main provisions of the project, as well as make some changes to the armor and weapon system. This made it possible to speed up the development of the project, but at the same time fulfill the existing requirements. This approach made it possible to reduce the number of newly developed components and assemblies.
The existing building, created as part of the previous project, received enhanced armor. Its frontal part had to be assembled from sheets up to 100 mm thick, the protection of the sides and stern was assigned to 80 mm parts. Due to the change in the thickness of the armor, it was necessary to change the contours of the frontal part of the hull. In addition, the design of the upper part of the hull, which formed developed fender niches, was adjusted. Between the upper frontal and side parts there were beveled cheekbones. The 25-mm horizontal hull roof at the rear of the vehicle was connected to an inclined sheet.

Also, as part of the project, an updated version of the turret was developed, which was used on the heavy tank of the previous version. The tower had a vertical frontal sheet, and was also equipped with a curved part that served as the sides and stern. In terms of protection, the turret of the new tank did not differ from the hull and consisted of sheets up to 100 mm thick.
The layout of the VK 4501 (P) tank was to be completely borrowed from the previous project. In front of the hull were placed electric transmission units and some mechanical devices, behind which was placed the control compartment. The center of the hull accommodated the fighting compartment, and the power plant was located in the stern.
The VK 3001 (P) type armored vehicle was equipped with two 210 hp gasoline engines. To compensate for the increase in combat weight, the tank needed more powerful engines. As part of the VK 4501 (P) project, a new Typ 101 carburetor engine was developed. This product differed from its predecessor by one and a half times the volume and power of 310 hp. Two new engines were to be placed in the rear of the hull. Next to them were two Siemens sGV 275/24 electric generators with a capacity of 275 kW each. Using a set of cables, electricity was supplied to Siemens D1495a electric motors placed in front of the case. Through final drives, electric motors rotated the front drive wheels.
A promising heavy tank retained the basic principles of control proposed in the previous project. The driver could change the operation parameters of two gasoline engines, but the main control tool was a set of systems that allowed changing the parameters of the current supplied to the traction motors. Gasoline engines at the same time could work in the same mode.

Chassis with modifications borrowed from the previous tank. It was proposed to use six large-diameter twin road wheels on each side. The authors of the project abandoned the use of rubber tires, but retained the overall architecture of the chassis. The rollers were blocked in pairs, and their carts were mounted on torsion bars. To save space inside the car, the torsion bars were placed outside, and also placed along the hull. The drive wheels were placed in front of the chassis with a noticeable excess over the road wheels. In the stern there were guide wheels. The upper branch of the caterpillar lay on the track rollers, without the need for supporting rollers. For the VK 4501(Z) tank, two versions of tracks were developed. A product with a width of 500 mm was intended for transporting equipment by road and rail, and for operation in the field, a 600-mm caterpillar should be used.
The main armament of the tank was to be placed in a rotating turret. Initially, it was supposed to use a promising 88-mm gun as the "main caliber". Calculations showed that for such a tank gun it was necessary to increase the size of the fighting compartment, as well as to increase the shoulder strap diameter to 2 m. cannon. In the future, problems with the fighting compartment were resolved, and the customer and developer chose the required type.
The main armament of the Type 101 heavy tank was decided to be an 8.8 cm KwK 36 tank gun with a 56-caliber barrel. This gun met the requirements of the customer regarding combat qualities, and also had acceptable dimensions and could be installed on a promising tank. It was proposed to complete the gun with a binocular telescopic sight and install it on a swinging system. With the help of turret rotation drives, circular horizontal guidance was provided. Elevation angles varied from -9° to +18°.

On the same installation with the gun, it was proposed to mount a coaxial machine gun MG 34 of 7.92 mm caliber. It was initially decided to abandon the second machine gun in the installation of the frontal hull plate. Subsequently, the installation of the hull was nevertheless introduced into the project. The coaxial machine gun was to be controlled by the gunner, the course gunner was to be the gunner-radio operator. Also, the crew could have several submachine guns used as self-defense weapons.
Due to the increase in the size of the hull and the fighting compartment, it was possible to place rather large and voluminous racks for ammunition in the tank. Ammunition 88-mm guns could consist of 64 shells. For use with a machine gun, it was proposed to transport over 4300 rounds of ammunition. There was also space for transporting six magazines to submachine guns with 192 rounds.
The crew of the VK 4501 (P) / Typ 101 tank was supposed to consist of five people. In front of the hull were the driver and radio operator. They could observe the situation with the help of hatches in the frontal and cheekbone sheets of the hull. Their workplaces had a set of all necessary controls. So, the driver had the means of controlling the machine, and the radio operator had two types of radio stations.

The tower had places for the gunner, commander and loader. The commander could observe through a set of viewing devices on his own turret. The loader had similar systems, but with smaller viewing angles. The gunner had to use the sight in his place. In the roof of the tower and on the turret, two hatches were provided for access to the inside of the car.
An interesting feature of the new project was the ergonomics of the fighting compartment and the unusual way of landing the crew in their places. For a number of technical reasons, the tank turret was moved forward as much as possible, due to which its frontal part overlapped the roof of the control compartment, preventing it from being equipped with hatches. As a result, the entire crew of the tank had to get inside the vehicle only through two hatches in the turret roof. First, the driver and radio operator had to get into the tank, then the gunner, commander and loader had to climb into it. The landing was proposed to be carried out in the reverse order.
The growth of protection and firepower led to an increase in size and combat weight. The length of the Type 101 tank along the hull was 6.6 m, including the gun - 9.34 m. The width reached 3.4 m, the height was 2.8 m. The combat weight significantly exceeded the required 45 tons and reached 57 tons. With such an increase in weight, the tank, according to calculations, had to reach speeds of up to 35 km / h. The power reserve did not exceed 105-110 km.

The preliminary version of the VK 4501(P) project was ready by the end of June 1941. Soon a document appeared that stipulated a schedule for the implementation of subsequent work. Also during this period, the project was given the additional name Tiger. Subsequently, in order to avoid confusion with a competing Henschel project, the Porsche tank was called the Tiger (P). The existing designations were also preserved. The signed documents, among other things, stipulated the participation in the project of various subcontractor firms, which were required to supply certain components.
According to reports, by the end of July 41, several agreements were signed on the supply of a significant number of components for new tanks. So, during a given period, Krupp had to assemble and send for assembly 100 hulls and the same number of turrets for the Tiger (P) tank. In accordance with these contracts and the approved plan, a hundred new armored vehicles were to go to the customer from spring to autumn 1942. There is also a widespread belief that the assembly of the first large batch of tanks was launched by the unauthorized decision of Ferdinand Porsche, but it contradicts other information.
The assembly of armored hulls for VK 4501(P) tanks started at the very end of 1941. The production of such products continued until the middle of the 42nd. The first towers, for various reasons, were released only in the middle of the spring of 1942, after which it was possible to start assembling experimental vehicles. According to available data, within the framework of the first order, a total of no more than 65 chassis and only 15 towers were built, of which only 10 prototypes were assembled.

The first prototype of a promising heavy tank was tested at the end of the winter of 1942. Due to the lack of the required fighting compartment, it was decided not to equip the existing chassis with a turret, instead of which a weight simulator should have been used. The chassis showed not too high mobility characteristics. There were also problems with the operation of individual units. The first prototype performed poorly during factory tests, which is why it was sent for revision. Instead, the customer was presented for testing with the next machine of an experimental batch in a similar configuration.
By this time, the shortcomings of individual elements of the armored vehicle were identified. Thus, the engines of a new type had insufficient reliability and could not withstand prolonged operation at maximum power, which could lead to the destruction of their parts. Also, the developers and the customer were not satisfied with the design of the tower, which should have been improved. During May 1942, a voluminous list of necessary changes was formed that should have been made to certain components and assemblies of the machine.
Initially, the customer considered a heavy tank from Porsche as the favorite of the existing program. However, as the tests were carried out, the opinion of army specialists changed. Over time, the VK 4501 (H) tank began to be considered a more promising development. At the beginning of July 1942, a report was drawn up on joint tests of two armored vehicles, which noted the advantages of the Tiger (H) tank. To finalize the competing machine, according to experts, it took at least a year. Because of this, she was considered unsuitable for adoption and mass production.

By the end of the tests, the leadership of Nazi Germany came to the conclusion that it was impossible to build two heavy tanks of different types in parallel. The industry was loaded with a mass of other orders, because of which a choice had to be made. After the appearance of the test report, the decision became obvious, but the further fate of the two heavy tanks was to be determined with the help of additional tests. In mid-November, comparative tests of two tanks took place, during which both vehicles showed not only advantages, but also disadvantages. However, the Henschel tank performed better than its competitor.
It was decided to put the Henschel development into a series, while the further development of the Typ 101 project was considered unpromising. Soon the tank VK 4501 (H) was adopted under the name Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger. The Tiger(P) project was closed due to lack of prospects on November 22, 42nd. An official document on such completion of the project was signed a little later, in December. By this time, eight experimental machines had been built, differing from each other in their configuration, equipment, purpose, etc. In addition, two buildings were built for testing, not equipped with internal units.
On December 10, the army demanded the development of two options for upgrading the existing tank using new engines and transmission units. The Typ 130 tank was supposed to get one Maybach HL 120TRM engine instead of two separate motors, and the Typ 131 project meant replacing the electric transmission with hydraulic systems. After the development of the updated projects was completed, it was planned to rebuild a certain number of the available VK 4501 (P) chassis according to them. In the future, almost all built armored vehicles received new engines.

The constructed equipment was used for various purposes. So, prototypes of the "Type 101" were used in various new projects as a platform for testing new ideas and solutions. One of the fully equipped tanks, which received a turret and weapons, according to some sources, was sent to the Eastern Front in the spring of 1944 for testing in real combat conditions. This machine was used until mid-summer, when it was destroyed during one of the battles.
After the project was closed, it was decided to complete the laid down chassis of the VK 4501 (P) type, and also use them as the basis for new equipment. A total of 90 chassis were assembled, which, during completion and modernization, were equipped with new types of engines. Subsequently, these chassis were used in the construction of the Sturmgeschütz mit 8.8 cm StuK 43 or 8.8 cm StuK 43 Sfl L / 71 Panzerjäger Tiger (P) self-propelled artillery mount with an 88-mm PaK 43 anti-tank gun. Later, these vehicles received a wide fame under the name Elefant/Ferdinand.
The Porsche VK 4501(P) / Typ 101 heavy tank project did not produce any real results. Several experimental vehicles were built, as well as a significant number of pre-production chassis. At the same time, only one fully equipped tank got into the army, which managed to participate in the war on the Eastern Front for some time. Other pre-production samples were idle until a certain time, after which it was decided to use them in the construction of new self-propelled guns. After such an alteration of the existing chassis, the production of VK 4501 (P) did not continue as unnecessary. The Henschel company managed to create a more successful version of the heavy tank, which, after fine-tuning, was put into service and sent into mass production. In the future, Porsche made an attempt to improve the existing project, but it was too late to correct the existing situation.

Baryatinsky M.B. Heavy tank "Tiger" // Armor collection. 1998. No. 6.
F. Porsche began designing the tank in May 1941. The prototype under the index VK45.01 (P) began to be tested on April 20, 1942 (Hitler's birthday). The prototype outperformed its competitor VK36.01(H). But due to the expensive electronic transmission, it was not adopted. As a result, about 5 cars were built.
Introduction
In the game, Tiger (P) poses a big threat at the seventh levels. Why? Let's figure it out.Booking
The main trump card of the tank is his frontal armor hull, which is equal to 200 mm, which allows you to tank shells not only from classmates, but even from tanks of 8-9 levels. Compared to its competitor, which has a frontal armor of 100mm, this is an excellent indicator.
If you look at the armor towers, then she is strong there. 100mm mask itself and there is more behind it. Odnoklassniki do not penetrate even with golden shells. The sides and rear of the tower are only 80mm. The turret has a commander's cupola, which is very vulnerable compared to the one on the Tiger I.
with armor boards and stern the same situation. There is also 80mm, which is not very good, because. the tiger's ammo rack is located under the turret (there are situations when a level 5 std coming to your side or stern can greatly “harm”).
Driving performance
Tiger (P) in the top configuration has a 2x Porsche Typ 100/3 engine with 670 hp. which allows it to accelerate to 35 km / h, which is certainly lower than the Tiger I, but at the seventh level this is a good indicator. The stock Tiger (P) is equipped with two more engines: 2x Porsche Typ 100/1 Ausf. A (550 hp) - stock, 2x Porsche Typ 100/1 (600 hp) - pre-top. With stock engines, the comfort of playing a tiger may not yet appear, but in the top configuration the tiger is no longer the same (you want to play it more and more).Armament (penetration and damage are indicated on the bb)
You are offered four guns: 1 stock 75 mm Kw.K. 42 L/70 (with 150mm penetration and 135HP damage), 2-high explosive 105 mm Kw.K. L/28 (penetration 64mm and damage 350HP, very large spread), 3-pre-top 8.8 cm Kw.K. 36 L/56 (less penetration than stock 135mm, but decent damage 220HP), 4-top 8.8 cm Kw.K. 43 L/71 (with excellent penetration of 203mm, which easily penetrates tier 8 tanks, and an average damage of 240HP). Separately, we can also say that the top gun allows you to aim hatches and commander's turrets without much difficulty, and the aiming time is only 2.3 s. Of the shortcomings, only the low rate of fire (average only 1582 HP) is a very low indicator for a heavy tank of the seventh level, its competitor Tiger I. With the same gun, it is 2150 HP.Combat tactics
All the capabilities of the tiger are manifested in urban conditions. Strong frontal armor and good mobility allow you to get to the desired point on the map without losing HP. An accurate cannon allows you to shoot on the go. But it's pointless on board. the armor of the sides is weak and there is an ammo rack under the turret, then you can very quickly end the battle for yourself.
Correct, when you only substitute the front part, so even level 9 tanks can ricochet on you when they hit your hull.
What modules are better to install?
The tank is very good without modules, but some can be put at your discretion:1-reinforced aiming drives (can be replaced with a rammer)
2-ventilation,
3-camouflage net (useful when fighting against level 9s)
Crew Perks
The following perks are suitable for the crew:1-commander(light bulb, brotherhood in arms, repair and expert).
2-gunner(camouflage, brotherhood in arms, smooth turret rotation, sniper).

Conclusion
Perhaps some will ask the question: “Is it worth putting a top tower?” I answer: “I don’t see the point.” it does not speed up reloading, and of the pluses, only a view of +10 meters. And the top gun is also installed on the tower.In the end, I want to say that Tiger (P) is very powerful at its level, surpassing its classmates in many ways.
This concludes my guide, good luck on the battlefield!

Good day and welcome to the site! Friends, now we will talk about the real German quality, which is being seriously tested in our game. We are talking about a German heavy tank of the seventh level and this Tiger (P) guide.
This machine is pumped along the branch, which ends with the legendary, super-heavy German tank Maus, and therefore, Tiger (P) TTX should also be famous for their armor. This statement is partly true, but is it really so serious?
TTX Tiger (P)
To begin with, everyone who decides to roll this heavy into battle should know that on our side the increased safety margin characteristic of German technology and, importantly, a good basic view of 380 meters.
If we consider Tiger (P) characteristics booking, as planned, in our hands should really be a strong tank and it is really much stronger than an ordinary tiger. However, everything is relative and the declared 210-mm thickness of the armor plates is here only in two planes marked in red. If we tighten the hull, we can really confidently hold back our classmates, but many tanks of the eighth level, and even more so the nine, penetrate us quite easily. Moreover, the cheeks Tiger (P) World of Tanks, marked in orange, are generally only 80 mm thick and stick out very strongly.
If we talk about the security of the tower, there is again some kind of confusion. The gun mask is a solid screen, but it is also quite often sewn, and sometimes even machines of a lower level. But the biggest problem of the tower is deservedly considered a huge commander's cupola. In other words, heavy tank Tiger (P) it seems to have armor in the forehead, but it seems to be not.
Regarding the lateral projection, there is also something to be said. Our sides have a thickness of 80 millimeters, which allows this vehicle to confidently tank when the hull is set in a rhombus. But be careful, if you turn it too hard, the rearrangement will decrease, and there is a vulnerable ammo rack in the left front of the hull.
It is also worth noting that Tiger (P) tank big, tall and long, hiding such a barn is sometimes very difficult, and the artillery likes to target us.
Special attention is given to the mobility of our strand. It would be wrong to call it ultra-slow, however, its maximum speed is mediocre, due to the large weight, the dynamics sag a lot, and the maneuverability of Tiger (P) weak, so let's remember about art once again.
gun
Well, if in terms of general characteristics the car is not very good, most likely it will have a decent gun. This is partly true, German weapons are always famous for their accuracy and not only.
Tiger (P) gun against the background of the barrels of classmates, it does not stand out with a large alpha strike, but our rate of fire is normal, so the reward is about 2000 damage per minute without a rammer and perks.
Our cannon really stands out with its penetration parameters, in fact, heavy tank Tiger (P) World of Tanks can adequately fight even against nines, without using gold. But if you want more comfort, it is better to carry 10-20 subcalibers with you.
Among the parameters of shooting comfort, I would especially like to note a pleasant dispersion and excellent final accuracy. That just comes down Tiger (P) not as fast as we would like, and the gun also bends down only 6 degrees, which is also not the ultimate dream.
Advantages and disadvantages
In order to play the tank more confidently, you know what qualities you can count on, and which sides are better not to show the enemy, you need to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages Tiger (P) which we are going to do now.
Pros:
Large margin of safety;
Good frontal armor in combat is at the top of the list;
Not a bad review;
High accuracy of the gun;
Good damage per minute;
Excellent penetration parameters.
Minuses:
Shed dimensions;
Armor is weak in combat at the bottom of the list;
Poor mobility;
Small alpha strike;
Mediocre comfortable UVN.
Equipment for Tiger (P)
Of course, it is very important to equip your combat vehicle with additional modules before going into battle, in a sense, this can even affect the outcome of the battle. Thus, on heavy tank Tiger (P) equipment is better to put the following:
1. - will make us an even more formidable opponent, because thanks to this module, the rate of fire and DPM will increase quite well.
2. - as mentioned earlier, this tank does not have the best aiming speed, by improving it, you will more effectively implement damage.
3. - we already have a good overview, and by making it even better, we will gain an advantage over our classmates and be able to keep up with higher-level vehicles.
As is often the case, there is a good alternative to the third point -. Yes, we will lose in sight range, but we will gain even more firepower, which also makes sense.
Crew training
The right choice of skills for the tankers sitting inside the vehicle is an even more important and crucial moment. For Tiger (P) perks it is worth choosing in such a way as to increase the survivability of our tank, after all, it is heavy, increase its general parameters, and it will not be superfluous to make the gun even more comfortable:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner - , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Radio operator - , , , .
Loader - , , , .
Equipment for Tiger (P)
Of course, it’s also impossible to go into battle without consumables, especially considering the fact that we have a heavy tank in our hands, designed to hold back the onslaught of the enemy, so at least you need to buy it. But even more confidence, and if necessary, reliability, can only be obtained if you carry on Tiger (P) gear from , , . By the way, the latter can be replaced by, it will not be worse.
Tiger Tactics (P)
Considering all of the above, the strengths and weaknesses of our German, the style of playing on it is fundamentally different depending on which battle we got into.
When it comes to fighting at the top of the list, on Tiger (P) tactics fighting comes down to dominance. We, as befits a heavy tank, can boldly crawl to the front line and hold the enemy back with our armor, be sure to turn the hull, dance and go into cover while reloading.
If we talk about the battle at the bottom of the list, German heavy tank Tiger (P) WoT becomes much less formidable. Here we will be easily penetrated by a lot of people and for this reason it is better to stay behind the backs of stronger allies, playing the role of support.
It is no less effective to fight at long distances, the gun Tiger (P) World of Tanks well-aimed, thanks to good penetration, it is able to hit the enemy if you target vulnerable points or infect gold.
But in any case, you should always monitor the situation around you. You can’t engage in battle with superior enemy forces in a disadvantageous position for yourself, enemies can simply spin you. Remember also that Tiger (P) tank has poor mobility, so you need to choose the direction carefully, but you should especially be afraid of artillery.
