THE BEST TANK OF WW2 ? - Tiger H1 in War Thunder - OddBawZ

The Tiger H1 in War Thunder is an iconic Heavy Tank for Germany. This is one of the most sought after tanks in the game and in my opinion one of the best tanks in War Thunder.
The Tiger H1 gets a bad reputation for being difficult to use but in comparison to many other Heavy Tanks in War Thunder, it's far superior. Nothing scares me more at 5.3 Battle Rating than a well angled Tiger 1!
Today, we're going to take the Tiger H1 out and do as best I can to survive and get as many kills as I possibly can. Hopefully in some way I can showcase the sheer survivability and destruction that the Tiger 1 can dish out.
The Tiger H1 has the reputation of being the best Tank of WW2 but we all know there are better! It doesn't stop it being one of the most effective of WW2 as well as in War Thunder, though!

DO YOU THINK THE TIGER H1 IN WAR THUNDER IS GOOD AND WHY NOT?! LOL

[@ahmet4kadir]

yes tiger is awesome in war thunder

[@nik.sd23]

tigor pog because angling

[@The-Red-Baron]

Yes it is in my opinion one of the best tanks of the war thunder mainly because some german mains know exactly how to use the tiger and I know how to use it to kill everything I see in every game with it. because I know exactly where to hit and I know how to fight in the tiger specifically the tiger H1 one not the tiger E, However this is only my opinion but the panther was by far the better tank when it comes to the tiger

[@airsoftpopcorn]

It is my third favorite 5.3 vehicle. My favorite is the challenger, and my second fav is the panther D (probably the best 5.3)

[@thegregitto]

It is good, unfortunately most players that play this nation are braindead, so winning is never easy.

The mine launchers on the tiger weren't even on most tigers it was very mission specific piece of equipment that would be mounted to any vehicle. theres more pics of them on the pz3 and 4 than the tiger.

[@iffracem]

You make the same mistake I used to friend :-) Expecting the game is even remotely "realistic" They have some brilliant vehicle models, but that's as far as the realism goes. And it seems they're starting to get that wrong as well.

[@aussiemilitant4486]

"theres more pics of them on the pz3 and 4 than the tiger." Probably has something to do with the amount of PzIII and PzIV produced compared to the Tiger.

[@riccardomariani9648]

Yea those things on the hull are annoying af and are just ornamental, gaijin should just remove them.

[@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917]

@@aussiemilitant4486 Excerpt from the Minenabwurfvorrichtung wiki article - "The device was subsequently adopted as standard equipment on new production Tiger I tanks during January through October 1943." But yea as you stated, the vast majority of German tanks (even late-war) were Pz 3's and 4's. I'm pretty sure the only Tiger's the Americans (for example) ever engaged in the entire French Campaign was a crew-less Tiger 1 sitting on a railcar lmao. Just for some perspective.

[@aussiemilitant4486]

@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 yes im aware of this. Its been a few years but i believe the US troops had 3 interactions with Tiger I tanks that were actually active. A luckily small amount. Considering the shape of the PzIII & PzIV's, at distance they could appear to be a Tiger I. So i cant disparage the constant false reporting of US Troops in contact with Tiger I's. Just like all other wars Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of all ranks were known to embellish many many things. I cant fault them for being human, however it does make the reading and understanding of history alot harder to grasp.

[@mahieuwim]

I marked it some weeks ago. Over 40 games I got to 80% uptiers.

[@nattenaniel]

Yes, same for me, lots of uptiers, but the German 5.3->6.3 uptier is not to bad, still nothing I cant kill in my Tiger, or that can kill my Tiger to easily. The German 6.7->7.7 uptier (which is to common) made me stop totally with Tiger 2 games tho, unfortunately.

[@andrewlee8204]

As soon as I hit 5.7 it was full uptiers almost every game. My first nuke was in the H1 at 6.7

Never realised the seemingly random lack of gun depression sometimes is due to the anti personal lauchers. I thought it was some glitch. It is fustrating, they are literally wherer you need to line up the gun barrel to angle. I have died many times when I didn't get the depression I was expecting. Gaijin should remove them, or just make them visual only.

They’re the only reason the tiger h is 5.3 otherwise it’ll get move up to 5.7 like tiger e

[@robinsonsstudios]

On a unit level this might be the best WWII tank, certainly in my book and certainly beats the panther because by 1944 it had become rather reliable (readiness numbers rival that of the Pz IV), didn't have the final drive issues and whas overall better armored. The gun was more destructive as well. And unlike the panther and King tiger this really was a quality piece of equipment, well put together with a lot of thought going in to it. It was very easy to drive and rather comfortable for a tank (even the seats were wrapped in leather). The welding quality was superb as well unlike the t34 whose weld seams would give a German welder a brain aneurysm. The tiger was rather quick for a heavy tank and surprisingly agile. The downsides are low production rate and high cost,coupled with a lack of proper support- and most importantly, recovery vehicles. The only tank tank that reaches the tigers level in my opinion is the Sherman because it was just so versatile and unlike the t34 actually had some quality control.
