Tiger

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Tiger — British • Tech Tree • Tier IV • Battleship.

In January 1911, Japan ordered the development and construction of a battlecruiser in Great Britain that received the name "Kongō". It turned out to be better than the current British ships, and because of that, a similar project was selected to build a new battlecruiser within the 1911 program. HMS Tiger was laid down in 1912 and commissioned in 1914 as part of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron. She participated in the Battle of Dogger Bank and Battle of Jutland, taking 21 hits in total without suffering crippling damage.
