The G.W. Tiger is a German tier 9 self-propelled gun.
Development of an SPG on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. VIB Tiger II started in 1942. The project called for designing a common self-propelled gun carriage for the 17 cm Kanone 72 gun and 21 cm Mörser 18/1 howitzer. The concept of the SPG allowed the use of artillery systems from both the carriage and the ground. Work on building an experimental prototype began in 1945.
With its largest gun, this massive artillery hits for roughly 2,000 damage, but fires at only 1.7 rounds/min. Due to its large damage output, the GW Tiger is one of the most feared artillery on the field. Following the tradition of the other German artillery, the GW Tiger is fairly mobile (although noticeably less so than the Hummel or GW Panther) for its size and is capable of speeds of up to 35 km/h.
The G.W. Tiger leads to the G.W. E 100.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Strong gun
- The ability to fire AP shells
- Large burst area for HE shells
Cons:
- Long reload
- Slow track traverse speed
- Poor gun range on top gun, not able to cover whole area on large maps
- Poor camouflage factor
Performance
The GW Tiger is the most powerful of tier 7 artillery, it has a great gun, and can fire AP shells which can wreak havoc on tier 10 heavies, the gun has no negative elevation, combined with a slow track traverse speed it is very hard to defend yourself in close quarter or if you are against enemy lights. But the tank can ram some tanks, mainly light tanks, it has the weight and frontal armor (50mm) to do that. Sixth sense is a must in this tank, you can also train the crew in camouflage, then do Brothers in Arms, a good skill for the driver is clutch lock braking, (to max out track traverse add 100-octane gasoline), in the gunner the skill snap shot helps with accuracy. The loaders can learn the perk Intution, which helps when switching shells out, and creates the chance that you don't have to wait the entire reload time to change shells, there is no good perks for the radio man, so do camouflage, BIA, repair. Always pay attention to the mini map, so you can keep up with your surroundings, so if a light is coming your way you can move before he gets to you.
