PSA: the Tiger E can be one shot at any distance

I have said so in other topics, but I enjoy watching replays of other players in matches I have been in. While watching those replays, I have noticed several things.

Like how ridiculously often Churchills get shot at and explosive packed by allied players who think its a German tank.

More importantly, I noticed that allied players in tanks do not seem to know how to kill a Tiger E.

To one shot a Tiger E, all you have to do is hit the little box at the back of the turret with an HE round while it is above the engine deck. The explosion will set the engine on fire the majority of the time, and can sometimes blow up the Tiger instantly.

You can do this with the HE of any Allied tank other than the Stuart, at any distance, and at any angle other than from the front of the Tiger.

Hopefully bringing this up does not cause the Devs to patch it.

Oops, how do I do that after already starting the topic?

Press the pencil icon to the right of your topic title, then you see this editing interface:

  • You can do an one vs one aganaist a tiger E with a m10/18 or with a sherman 76
  • you can snipe the tiger E barrel or turret attach with all US tank for disable the turret

you see there is a big problem in that…

tiger is not a problem to kill when you can get his flank or back, but frontally…

I know that part, but I meant once its already posted. lol

You made it sound like I could update the tags. Sorry for misunderstanding.

There is no pencil once its already posted. To be clear.

Anyways lets not fill up the thread with this. I will remember the tags next time

Luckily they are really loud and like to roll out in the open like they are invincible.

Just to give some visuals. This is the minimal angle you need to one shot a Tiger. Which just so happens to be the angle Tigers often give when they are trying to angle their armor. Its a lose/lose for them.

One shot

Of course, the issue is that at this angle they usually see you as well and will have their gun pointing at you. In which case you should pull behind some cover until they look away again.

I am not sure if “1 shot” and “spam in the general area” can be considered the same thing.
