1. The Tiger I (H) is in fact my most beloved prizefighting tank in-game. With an average exp (non-premium) 848 exp and the top exp record of 2943 (in one game).

Let’s make this simple. The amount of people who hate the tiger for it’s armor, about 20% who played it, the number of people who hate it for it’s sluggish speed, another 20%, those who hate it for the turret speed and low damage role per shot from the 88 mm gun… another 15-20%. Those who hate the Tiger I (H) just because it is German, well I am guessing 5-10%. Thinking about it, who many people actually play and ENJOY the Tiger I (H)? I have only met a hand-full of people (IF I AM WRONG then please CORRECT me) who like or even say “MEH” to the Tiger I (H).

When going toe-to-toe with a Tiger P, T29, IS, KV-3, AMX M4 mle .45, you will understand that 8/10 times the Tiger I will win, due to great DPM (please consider the fact both tanks are shooting at each other in an open field with no covering to weak spots and are shooting AP rounds). However, this IS the trademark of the Tiger I (H). The armor of the tank is nothing to be proud of, in fact compared side-by-side with other tier 7 heavy tanks of the different national branches, the Tiger I (H) has the most underwhelming armor. The Tank is slow, sluggish and the traverse does not save this. The Turret traverse is what makes hellcat drivers laugh hard. the only thing that upholds the Tiger I (H) in it’s place is it’s great DPM, which is still no match against 2 or 3 tanks shooting at it.

Tiger all out.

Armor V.S. Hit Points
The flaw of having no armor, is compensated by 1,500 HP, the biggest among any tier 7 tank. BALANCED WELL

Big Bang V.S. DPM
Having a low damage per shot (240 average) is compensated by 5.65 Rate of Fire (100% crew, Gun Rammer, Ventilation)

Aim time V.S. Accuracy
The low 2.9 (NON GERMAN-LIKE) aim time, is compensated by an average 0.34 accuracy.

So what is the nerf for? You nerf what is good of a German tank and I cannot help to say this but this is quite disturbing how you nerf tanks that can EQUALLY match the tanks of the USSR or Americans, in other words, BIAS.

Wargaming, if you were to nerf any German tank in the game I suggest with the Waffentrager E-100 as a top first priority. Do not go hating on Tiger I (H)s for smacking Soviet Russia hard during WWII.
