The Tiger 131 is a German tier 6 premium heavy tank.
This vehicle is the only Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger in full working order. The vehicle was captured by the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment in Tunisia on April 21, 1943, and repaired later. It was shipped to the United Kingdom the same year. The British performed a full examination of the tank, and made it an exhibit item at the Bovington Tank Museum in 1951.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Gun boosts a very good DPM, aim time and accuracy;
- Good traverse speed helps with angling your armor, with a good crew mobility isn't that bad;
- Very good crew trainer for your German heavies;
- Comes with a 100% crew with 'Brothers in Arms';
- Very high ammo capacity, very unlikely to ran out of ammo in 1 battle;
- Greater signal range and better camouflage ratings than the Heavy Tank No.VI
Cons:
- Armor is only effective against tier 4 tanks and tier 5 tanks who are in stock configuration;
- Penetration and alpha damage are underwheling for a tier 6, will struggle in penetrating tier 8 tanks that are decent armored;
- Juicy target for enemies, because of armor values and enormous amount of hitpoints. Kv-2's and O-I's are able to 1-shot you if you expose your side to them;
- Has a standard camouflage print, so you can't choose your own camo-style.
Performance
The Tiger 131 is practically the same tank as the Japanese Heavy Tank No.VI, but this one has better signal range. Still there are some rules to play this tank correctly.
At first the gun isn't the best in tier VI. The penetration is not so good, the alpha damage is a bit lacking. But, your good aim time and accuracy makes up for the penetration, as you can fire more easily at enemy's weakspots and having more chance to penetrate them. The fast reload makes up for the bad alpha damage.
The mobility isn't the best either, but with a good crew this isn't a problem. You aren't very likely to change flanks during battle, so choose your flank wisely. Your traverse speed is good, so angling your armor with a dancing style is an option.
The armor isn't good. It's flat and not very thick. Only in a tier IV match-up can you can have bounces, but tier IV games are very rare for this tank. If you don't play tier IV games, you must trust your enormous amount of hitpoints to out-trade your oppontents. But you will get penetrated most of the time, with the exception of some lucky bounces.
Your play style has to be very different, according to your match-up. In a tier 4 game you are the most aggressive tank, 2-shooting enemy tier 4's and bouncings shots like a regular heavy tank. But if you are in tier 5/6 games, you should rely on your hitpoints to out-trade your opponents. Most of the time, you will become the primary target because of bad armor and a large amount of hitpoints, like the TOG II*. If you are bottom tier, you are a less important target, so you can be sneaky.
The accuracy of this tank isn't sniperlike, but good enough for second-line support. Use your teammates as main shield an shoot while your enemies are reloading. Your good aim time helps with shooting weakspots. NEVER attack without any decent cover, your camouflage isn't good! This tank comes with a standard camouflage print style.
