Heavy Tank no. 6 (Japan Tiger) decrease BR from V to IV?

Suggestions
1

possible reason:

  • Tiger H1 is BR IV
  • Tiger H1 has nearly the same armament (+ 2,150 rounds more for the MG34)
  • Tiger H1 has additional 6 smoke grenades on the turret to cover himself
  • Tiger H1 has a little bit better armor
  • Heavy Tank no. 6 has only a litte bit better egine power (50HP more)
    → does that justify to put the Japan Tiger on BR V? IMO not really and that’s why it should be on BR IV :slight_smile:

Honestly in game, the main difference between the E and H1 is the cupola, since the H1 Cupola is very easy to hit and with APHE, it will burst the entire turret crew. Speaking from the game perspective at least.

Its also worth mentioning for the moment that the Japanese dont have a BR4 lineup available to them so for the moment its a redundant change, not to mention Id rather it stay a rarer used vehicle at BR5.

I think its fine at br5 since they never used it maybe they can give it better rounds to fight vs stronger tanks

tiger h1 is br4 because it has a gigantic weak spot with the commander cupola sticking up

tiger e (and heavy tank no.6) dont have this critical weakness

br5 is ok

Japan doesn’t have BR4 lineup, so it doesn’t make a difference at all.

If you start putting equipment in BR IV, it might have a lineup one day…

yeah, like I said above: I missed the gigantic cupola on Tiger H1 - you are right in that case
I will close the post now.

Thanks all for the feedback
