I cannot figure out how to kill the German Tiger tank in the Normandy campaign.I am in the Jumbo US tank and I can hit the tiger 10-12 times and no casualties…He hits me once and I am toast…
Tracks, barrel, then flank or wait for the crew to emerge and HE them.

Try out the practice room with your Jumbo. Go to the gunner’s view to see where you can penetrate the Tiger and how to deal with it.
you can only penetrate tiger frontally with 76mm gun, so it is basically invulnerable to jumbo and below tanks.
better way is to kill tiger is to use p-38, or a-20.

Just bomb it, or use rockets.
If you cannot fly- shoot to barrel (Tiger have large muzzle, it easy to hit), then shoot HE shell when crew go out.

Easy
A tnt or explosive pack to sides work.
Also any bomb and rocket.
you can swipe your credit card and get the premium jumbo with ACPR round 
as a jumbo
always go barrel, and kill the crew
if you need time, use Smoke Shell
With 7.5 cm Shermans you won’t be able to deal with: Tiger, Panther, Jagdpanzer IV and Stug, because you can not reliably penetrate them frontally.
So the only options are destroying the enemies barrel or flanking.
On a bright note tho:
Tiger and Stug also can not penetrate you frontally with the exception of your frontal hull MG port. So as long as you only show your turret you are also immortal to those.
Panther and Jagdpanzer IV have just barely enough pen to go through your frontal turret at closer ranges. Keep that in mind.

sling smoke into him and either avoid or attack from the side
(off topic note)
You can kill Pumas with HE to the side from a 75mm gun.

Nothing better than an M2 browning.
Anti infantry, anti air, anti tank…
all in one.

Its over 100 years old, and still running and in use.
Lets see something top that.
if he is deep in their grey zone, keep him spotted so the pilots can take him out
don’t let him see you
smoke the area to block his view or force him to move forward through the smoke
if your team sucks and cannot deal with it
find a new match
I use planes against the tanks, but the bombs and rockets bouncing off the enemy tanks is driving me nuts.
Funny thing is, you are exactly right. The M2 was created for anti-tank work, but was soon felt to be not the best due to increasing tank armor, so the Army and Navy adopted it as it’s heavy MG and anti-aircraft gun.

When the Jumbo wall fails, just come back at the Tiger by p47ing it’s ass.
Don’t worry. They deserve it.

I always shot Jumbos MG hull port. Works fine. Also while encountering Jumbo I constantly move my hull so he cannot aim well and destroy it. While he aim for tracks I just aim his barrel. Mostly only planes are a nightmare to encounter so while driving Tiger I mostly choose hard spots to shot with rockets, nearby houses, bunkers or close streets far behind lines of troop area (don’t mistake it with map ending spot where enemy troops can’t get, I never camp that unfair and noob way)
