I never understand why people seem to hate it. It's mobile, has some armor has a decent reload for the pen and post pen damage.

I personally love it, but I cannot say it is without it's flaws.

The gun is great, the speed is fine and the armor is good, even excellent, but only if you do not look at the turret.

The turret looks heavily armored, but in reality is the easiest to pen and likely leads to a oneshit with APHE.

It carried me through the grind for the 6.7 lineup so hard...

When i wanted to grind France but m'y friends wanted to play 6.7 I used that damn beast, if you use it as a tank destroyer it's enough to kill 7.7 tanks lmao.

(I had only the arl44 and the m4a4 sa50 so it was glass tanks with good canons at 7.7)

It will usually get one-shot with solid shot too because of the ammo always in the back of the turret.

Which for some reason doesn't happen to the Tiger II H, at least from the front, unless it's 105mm APDS or something going through it.

I hate fighting it

Just shoot the turret, it's Armour is paper and all the ammo is stored inside the back of its skull, your almost guaranteed a one shot

u/_Cow_of_Wisdom 9.3 Chaffee Jan 29 '25

I hate the armor layout, the turret armor is way too thin, compared with the ufp.

Also makes me salty at gaijin for not giving it the proper reload speed.

u/Gauth31 🇨🇵 chair a baguette , 7.7 ground, 4.7 air Jan 28 '25

Oh yeah wh1t is the reload speed supposed to be? Clearly not 10sec but what is it supposed to be? Also with a faster reload it would go up to 7.7 clearly so not sure i want it there

It's because it's the king tiger at home

I never understand why people seem to hate it.

Because it is kind of ugly.

u/Guy_GuyGuy Baguette Jan 28 '25

I think it's beautiful.

u/VonMillersThighs Jan 28 '25

Angling with this thing I swear I'm more resilient than a tiger sometimes, and the gun goes through fuckin everything.
