The Tiger E only has an additional machinegun mounted on the top (which barely anyone ever uses anyway) compared to the Tiger H1. You rarely encounter a Tiger E in BR V matches, since everyone is only chosing Tiger II at this battle rating. It is a shame that one of the most recognizable tanks of the second world war is rarely encountered…
So my suggestion is to move the Tiger E to BR IV as well.
The H1 has a terrible cupola. Trough which can be OHK, especially with Soviet munitions, which have more powerful explosive filler.
Plus the H1 has obstructions in the form of grenade dispensers (or whatever it is). Which negatively affect the depression of the gun in the diamond position.
So the difference between the H1 and E tiger is pretty significant.
Honestly I don’t think it’s needed to lower Tiger E to BR4. But I am not actively against it.
Im not against it, however for the record, the main and significant difference with the Tiger E, is how the cupola is changed making cupola shots much harder to make on it. (Plus a little change on the hull but thats situation about gun depression).
I have no clue how it used be (BRs in WT are changing all the time, to the point it’s kinda annoying to always fix lineups).
But in ground realistics at the moment, H1 is 5.7 and E is 6.0.
Plus in war thunder, Tiger E has acces to APCR with ± 210 pene if I remember correctly.
