Tiger does both AT-AI really well. I find that it can consistently drop models per shot and due to its higher rof can quickly force squads off. It also has pretty solid dps so it does well in fighting other Heavies. Really the biggest issue for it is TDs. But those units are designed to counter heavy tank play.
Yes of course the 60td has been a gripe since they started. We all in agreement allies are better fighting heavy then the other way round.
Since im been practicing tiger(ace), i realising allies may most probably have the better heavy/callins too. Damning combo.
Tiger gun may work fine in smaller 1v1 but in bigger team games, its super slow tracking, combine with lower pen, is wanting. This is a fresh perspective i give from a lower level player. Its rof also comes in vet2 and it isnt the fastest anyway. There are little supporting evidence to require heavy micro and lack of vet.
I believe its another unit leftover in old wehr is gold mindset.
Even sanders ttk is2 vs tiger example dont take in chance to pen, no? At a low 50-50 chance, is tiger gun that good? If you can't aim, what's use of rof?
If anything, tiger feels closer to a brumba-fant. Better AI than AT. Eaiser to counter than is2.
Something like pershing is even better AI, and has enough similar stats to outperform tiger at AT. It even got a hp buff recently and 'high' tiger hp becomes less good reasoning.
Jackson + Pershing or panther + tiger. Hmm, i say again, allies are better, especially once late game vet bonus applies
