US CAS is mostly fighters with 2 bombs and a few HVARs while germany has that and aircrafts with guns that can pen Heavys quite easily.

Angling is the key....I used to die early too but now getting better at it as I angle more. Basically you need to keep few things in mind. 1. If there' s a vantage point ....try to get there first before the enemy does. 2. Do not rush blindly. 3. Make sure your flanks are well covered on all sides.... 4. Find your enemy first and get a fix on them....see first without being seen. And if you are spotted first then change positions...use the smoke shells. 5. Fire and manuever.

Glad it helped :) So for the camo you have two options. 1. Gaijin marketplace - this camo you pay $1 for, but it is visible in-game to other players. trade.gaijin.net/?n=ugcitem_1001169&viewitem=&a=1067 OR you can just download it for free from WarThunder live but it it only visible to you - live.warthunder.com/post/1023902/en/

Also, it’s best to use the PzGr. over the PzGr 39, because while it may have a little less pen, it has over twice the explosive filler, meaning almost all of your shots will be one shots.

Also use the rounds that has the highest explosive mass inside the shell so you can 1 shot most of the time Note. Usually these shell's can have less pen of the default one by like 10mm difference but it's better to get 1shots than trying to aim at the placement of crews in the enemy's tank

Now that we’ve learned how to effectively play tiger time for effective counter tiger strats 1: the gun to track to side combo, aim for the main cannon, if done correctly say bye bye to being one shot, next destroy the track, machine guns or cannons are fine, once immobilized flank it on its side and let it rip. 2: smoke rounds: the biggest advantage a tiger has is its range, use smoke rounds to either cover your approach or blind the tank itself in long or close quarters, this is especially effective at covered firing positions as it forces them to leave cover to attack or hope the enemy rushes in front of them 3: big armor piercing guns and ammo: self explanatory, anything under 75mm will struggle even hitting straight on, the bigger and longer the gun and it’s ammo the better as it gradually renders even corner facing useless.

Yes, I find that the tiger can angle against about 50% of the enemies it faces if it can’t - it can still one tap anything else with that huge amount of TNT filler in the PzGr shell. In dowriers it can definitely be more aggressive / rely on its armor more but even in uptiers it can handle itself if played carefully ( see my Tigris vid )

Also, in uptiers I generally choose to spawn a tank destroyer or panther first to deal with the tougher enemies and save the tiger for second or third spawn when your armor is so much stronger against the remaining weaker vehicles :)

Don't forget to: -angle it simultaneously towards all directions where the enemy could possibly shoot you from. This may sound difficult, but once you manage to tap into 4th dimension it becomes very easy -retract your cupola so that enemy won't send you to hangar by shooting it -give your gunner some panzerschokolade so that he could turn your turret faster than 1° per eternity -put a force field generator on your massive muzzle brake so that you won't get your barrel broken 20 times in a single fight -avoid getting put against the big HE slingers that plague this br bracket, stuff with HEATFS like the M36 and the M-51, against the IS-2, the centurions...

Yes, T-34-85s are dangerous and you can only bounce them at close range by over angling (if you can hide your sides). A slight angle on the turret / wiggling can also help. The best strategy is to always be moving at an angle when you aren't firing. Try to make them mess up their shot.
