how to counter Tiger Ace in 1v1?

• Mines or t34 RAM and prevent the repair at all cost seems like the best way. Hit with Zis-3 or SU-85 from max range and hit it with arty to prevent the repair.
  
• Guards button is good because Panzer Tactian cost 30 munitions. All fuel and munitions are cut-off when the Ostheer player brings in the Tiger Ace. Therefore, eventually they will run out of ammo.
  
• Base rush Ostheer instead with an M5 half-track if possible.

I am still yet to have faced one, but I have used it a couple of times and the following seems like the best counters:

• Mines or t34 RAM and prevent the repair at all cost seems like the best way. Hit with Zis-3 or SU-85 from max range and hit it with arty to prevent the repair.
  
• Guards button is good because Panzer Tactian cost 30 munitions. All fuel and munitions are cut-off when the Ostheer player brings in the Tiger Ace. Therefore, eventually they will run out of ammo.

I'll get back to you when I actually kill one.

To answer your question:
i had 2 games in which I encountered TigerAce, lost both even if got all map and army...
Usually the guys save the infantry in the base and wait for TigerAce so after you ram it you still have hard time killing it...but ramming is the best counter.
I suggest when you see tiger ace, retreat all units and reorganize, ram it and kill it

Well looks like that game was over long time before that ace...

That's because the only way to counter the Tiger ace is by winning the game before it comes out. You can't just magically pull 4 tanks out of thin air to counter the tiger ace. You either already have a huge tank lead, or you lose.

This.

Tiger ace allows a player who falls badly behind to rapidly catch up and overtake enemy. I feel bad for people who played an even game for 45 minutes and then lose to this because they don't have enough AT.

not really a catch up because once it is summoned no more income so no point grab resources points anymore, it is either charge to enemy base to win or die. more like a last stand.
