Firing the main gun will interrupt the loading of the ready racks.

Simply not firing the main gun when it is loaded will load ammo from racks 1-6 into 8 then 7, as long as there is ammo in racks 1-6.

If both ready racks are empty, a penalty to reload speed will occur.

#WAR THUNDER GW TIGER FULL#

Full reload speed will be realized as long as ammo exists in either ready rack.

Racks 7 and 8 are ready racks, and take priority in being filled at the beginning of the battle, then fill 6 through 1 in that order.

Recommended ammo load is 23 (+47) shells to keep the hull empty and both ready racks full.

At 800 m you should still be within a safe distance (depending on what you are facing) but going under that is getting into the Allied guns' effective range. Being comfortable with kilometre long shots is a must in this tank. The Tiger II's cannon can maintain a very nice penetration even at long ranges (1,200 - 1,800 m) while American and Soviet cannons usually cannot keep such high penetration over distance, so they prefer 700 m or fewer engagements where their guns will most likely destroy you in the first hit, so get used to long range engagements.

Avoid exposing anything that might risk fire at all costs.

Light tanks can help you repair (provided they have unlocked the Parts modification).

You can repair at the capture points, make good use of it.

If you don't have unlocked the Parts modification yet, however, here are a few tips:

'Tracks' increase notably the manoeuvrability of your vehicle.'Adjustment of Fire' significantly increases the general accuracy of your main weapon.

#WAR THUNDER GW TIGER UPGRADE#

Stock tanks lack in all areas, however after Parts and FPE, there are a few upgrades that will noticeably upgrade how your vehicle handles: These two modifications are the number one priority. All your research points should be prioritized into the Parts and FPE modifications. In general, any vehicle will underperform when stock, so reserve your judgement until you unlock all modifications.

Belly armour front part is 40 mm thick while the rest is 25 mm thick.ĭriving a recently unlocked tank is always difficult the gun accuracy is terrible and the inability to repair in combat is extremely frustrating but nothing is worse than feeling powerless to stop your tank from burning to a crisp, even after defeating the enemy that caused the fire.

Some part of the turret side have track links on them, which gives an additional 30 mm of protection.

Suspension wheels are interleaved and overlap.

Suspension wheels are 20 mm thick while tracks are 30 mm thick.

Cast homogeneous armour (gun mantlet, cupola).

Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret).

The initial design is often misleadingly called the 'Porsche' turret due to the belief that it was designed by Porsche for their prototype in fact, it was the initial Krupp design for both prototypes. Other than that both tanks are identical, but for obvious reasons, the 'Henschel' turret is more popular than the 'Porsche' turret.

Commander's cupola on the 'Henschel' turret is also thicker (150 mm, opposed to 100 mm on 'Porsche' turret). The 'Porsche' turret is less armoured, has an exposed turret ring and a shot trap that can and will deflect shells to the weaker upper plate of the chassis. The Tiger II (H) remains one of the more potent foes a player could face in the Rank IV battles.ĭifference between the Henschel (H) and the Porsche (P) turrets - The 'Henschel' turret is slightly more resistant since it has a flat but thick plate in the front and a more effective gun mantlet.

#WAR THUNDER GW TIGER UPDATE#

It was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. With a battle rating of 7.0 (AB) and 6.7 (RB/SB). Alternatively, an implementation as an event vehicle is possible, similarly to the Lorraine 155.The Pz.Kpfw. Of course, adjustment to that can always be made after it was implemented as well. Its main advantage would be the insanely good gun which should have no trouble whatsoever taking apart every enemy you meet in one shot. So where would I place this vehicle? I would suggest putting it at tier 4 after the Waffenträger, with a BR of around 6.3 for a start. It is weak to any incoming fire, especially aircraft, it isn't particularly mobile, it would likely get quite a long reload (though maybe not as long as you might think, it has 8 crew members after all) and a very low ammunition complement of only 7 rounds (8 if you count the one which could be loaded in the breach at the beginning of the battle). All in all, this vehicle has a lot of weaknesses.
