On May 26, 1941, Adolf Hitler ordered Ferdinand Porsche and the Henschel company to develop prototypes of a new heavy tank. The prototypes were shown to the Führer on April 20, 1942. Manufacturing began, but the production run was cut short due to the complexity of the tank's drive and control systems, and a shortage of the required copper. Later, 90 produced hulls were converted into Ferdinand tank destroyers.

The Tiger (P) is a German tier 7 heavy tank

The Tiger (P) is a good all-around heavy tank. It's ability to mount the long 88mm gun allows it to penetrate most tier 7 heavies without a problem, and makes it competitive with Tier 8 heavies. It's frontal armor is double that of the Tiger, and the turret face is a little bit stronger. It's hull and turret are slow to turn, so beware of fast mediums.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Highest frontal armor in tier 7, almost immune to frontal fire if angled correctly.
• Powerful 88mm gun can take down Tier 7 and 8 targets easily.
• Deep health pool.

Cons:

• Slower than the Henschel Tiger (Tiger I).
• Very slow hull and turret traverse, easily flanked by fast mediums.
• Side and rear armor is paper thin.

Performance

This tank preforms well when it can face enemy heavies head on. By angling it's 200mm thick front armor, it can bounce almost anything. However, it is vulnerable from the side and rear, this should be kept in mind.
