Found the game from gcs2 where the tiger was used vs the pershing.
The problem lies in the power of the doctrines which they are in.

Nvm,this is a different game, but at least shows off the power of the tiger in this doc.

Bad pen? It has 250/230/210 which is even higher than the King Tiger.

And inb4 some smartass comes here saying "but IS-2 haz moar pen", yeah, and all axis tanks have on average more armor, panther and tiger being the only 2 exceptions, so that pen isn't relevant as much as RoF and range are.

And IS2 should be the cherry on the top of an soviet army, being able to fight Panther, Tiger H Aufs. II, Elefant and Jagdtiger. And so it shouldn't bounce.

A change to 1000 pen wouldn't kill the balance, but the IS2 would get an advantage to fight a King-Tiger and would allow the IS2 make some damage frontal versus heavy tank-hunters. If you manage it to come close enought with the IS2, then it should also work as spear-head.

And Ostheer needs something to hold against tank-hunters in larger multiplay games. Something that isn't OP in single-player or 1vs1 too. And Tiger is in the right spot, if you increase its range a little bit. That is because all Ostheer's commanders stay in a good spot for that change, because they lack in PaK43, scope and Elefant. There are even Tiger commandes without tactical-smoke. And a Tiger without smoke has no chance to escape any realistic fight.

Now look at min 30, at that moment Hans had nothing left. If the US pushed only a little bit, game would be over.

The Tigers git nearly killed several times by bazookas. With +5 range Tiger wouldn have enought range at Vet2 to make more damage than getting it.
