The Tiger Problem

Playing War Thunder has been increasingly annoying to do. One of the main reasons, for me, is the fact that Gaijin balances vehicles based on player statistics rather than vehicle performance. One of the most glaring examples of this is the German Tiger H1.

Sorry, I know this is a bit jokey and odd, but I needed a break. I'm also not saying that everyone that plays Germany is bad, just that Tiger players seem to be extraordinarily unskilled.

It's easy to kill the jumbo just shoot the machine gunner.
Every jumbo player ever: Yeah let me put the whole ardennes forest on my tank

Summary: 'I knew my opponents were stupid; so I let them wail on me until I got bored of counting their failures.'

You were banned from War Thunder.

"Ugh a bush on the mg port? heh classic"
Also them: "Ok sir what kind of decorations?"

"An entire pine tree please"

Honestly, more videos like this is something i'd totally be on board with. A deconstruction of war thunder's nuances as a game thrown in to add a bit more spice aside from the whole tank series you're doing. Would personally love to see more of this type of content

Movies: 5 Shermans vs 1 Tiger
WT: 5 Tigers vs 1 Sherman Jumbo

Great video, the "repair cost nerf" is one of the laziest balancing attempts ever

"Hit the MG Port"
Also MG Port: *On an angle, covered in so many leafs it could keep the Germans warm during the Russian Winter, Moving 10 KM, and in a dense city*

[tonk]

"aim for the MG port"
i'm sorry, i can't hit 6 tiny pixels of a moving tank with the whole ardennes forest on its hull.

How to Tiger:
1. Angle the tank.
2. Be patient.
3. Use your damn eyes.

My problem as a tiger player is not that i dont know how to kill jumbos, its just that a lot of the time, I, as someone who is barely playing for a year, come up against people who play since 2013. They always catch me off guard, spot me from 5 kilometres away, or react faster than a formula 1 driver on cocain.

The only Tiger that I’m really scared of is the Heavy Tank No.6, the people that play that thing are insane.

[thefuzzyvulpine]

Here's something I noticed from the footage you used: a lot of those Tiger players were being way too aggressive, letting you get too close to them. Or probably too busy screaming Wehraboo nonsense to notice the world around them.

2:50 “shooting the jumbo here will almost always kill the entire crew in one shot”

Volumetric be like:”hold my beer”

[bidaliao]

Video: shoot the machine gun port
War thunder volumetric update: nope

[yacob]

Stereotype: it takes four Sherman’s to kill one Tiger
Reality: Four tigers get destroyed by Big sherman

[Cencrd]

I just realized...in the later war the Germans had a lot of under-trained crews in their remaining armoured vehicles...Gaijin has created the perfect late War German crew in the noobs who rush the Tiger!

Things that Gajin doesn't understand:
- historically accurate isn't always the right choice
- stop balancing on player stats
