This gun is formidable even in the tier 8 arena, and will have no problem penetrating most tier 8 heavies from the front. However, it's still best to equip Optics (unless you have an exceptional crew) in case you don't have allies to spot for you, as the base view range is quite good for its tier. Stay at a distance, using bushes if possible, and with your superior accuracy and armor penetration you'll soon whittle them down. If you are at the bottom of the list, let your allies spot the enemies for you to snipe. Its top gun, the 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71, is extremely accurate (0.34), inflicts good damage, has a phenomenal rate of fire and has excellent penetration (203 on its standard AP shot), enough to go through any Tier 9's weak spots. Many German tanks are great snipers, and the Tiger is no exception.

Slow turret traverse, reacts sluggishly when ambushed.

Frequent transmission/engine and ammo rack damage.

Hull sponsons make sidescraping awkward, though the sponsons can be hard to hit from a distance.

Though the hull armour is thick, and resists HE quite well, it is also flat and vulnerable to AP shells even from Tier 5 gun.Fairly good at sidescraping thanks to the flat side armor and large tracks.Incredible hitpoint pool, can be boosted to 1700 HP with equipment and modifications, same as some stock Tier 9 heavies!.Shooting the left, right, upper, and lower edges of the mantlet requires ~200mm penetrat

Top 88mm gun is excellent, with good DPM, accuracy and penetration.
