Tiger '59 — British special premium Tier VIII cruiser.
In 1941, two "improved Fiji"-class cruisers were ordered. In 1948, it was decided to complete the ships according to a modified project by installing two 152 mm dual-purpose mounts. HMS Tiger was laid down in October 1941. The ship was launched only in 1945, and the next year, all work on her was halted. In March 1959, Tiger entered service in a new capacity, having been converted into an anti-aircraft defense cruiser. Between 1968 and 1972, she was transformed into a helicopter carrier.
Tiger '59 was first released for sale on 28 May 2021.

Player Opinion
Performance
Tiger '59 is a Tier VIII premium cruiser in the British lineup.
The main armament consists of two twin turrets with auto-loading 152mm guns. While Tiger '59 reloads very fast, the low barrel count results in her having a below average dpm. To make matters worse, the arrangement in two turret means that a incapacitated or destroyed turret cuts her damage output in half. Lacking torpedoes means that Tiger '59 has no tool to deal high Alpha damage, forcing her to rely on damage over time via the AP shells. Fortunately, her AP shells come with improved ricochet angles and fuze settings, making her damage output against soft targets like destroyers or superstructures very consistent.
In terms of survivability Tiger '59 is a mixed bag. She features an above water citadel which is largely un-overmatchable, and unlike Edinburgh her hull plating is 25mm, allowing her to ricochet shells up to 356mm and to shatter most destroyer-grade HE shells. Her health pool is the second-lowest of the Tier VIII cruisers, leaving her especially vulnerable to high Alpha strikes like torpedoes or battleship fire. Being a British light cruiser however Tiger '59 comes with the Damage Repair consumable. The improved Specialized Repair Teams consumables allows Tiger '59 to heal back large amounts of health. Regular penetrating hits can be fully healed, and even citadel hits get repaired by 50%. This makes Tiger '59 very resilient against shellfire when angled, even if she does take large amounts of damage, provided the rate at which the damage taken does not the exceed the rate at which it can be repaired.
The maneuverability of Tiger '59 is second to none compared to her counterparts, with a tight turning circle and improved acceleration. The only downside being the low top speed of only 30kn, Tiger '59 will have to be careful when picking direct confrontations as the ability to gain distance will be hampered especially while maneuvering.
While being a modern ship and the presence of Defensive AA Fire would imply an impressive AA defense, Tiger '59 has little means to deter air strikes.
For the playstyle Tiger '59 should aim at making the most of her advantages while avoiding open 1 vs 1 engagements. Access to the Smoke Generator and the Surveillance Radar consumables allows Tiger '59 to break line of sight and temporarily gain vision on targets. Ideally however she uses spotting by her teammates, saving the Surveillance Radar for destroyers. While in a Smoke Screen Tiger '59 must be very careful regarding nearby ships, as she has no means of quickly disposing off a rushing destroyer and the absence of Hydroacoustic Search makes her vulnerable against torpedoes.Pros:
- 25mm hull plating makes her more resilient against certain shells compared to [Edinburgh]
- Guns are able to turn 360° with good turning speed, fairly good firing angles with decent shell travel time and shell arcs suitable to shoot from behind islands.
- Uses the improved AP shells from British light cruisers
- Excellent maneuverability
- Has access to Surveillance Radar and Smoke Generator at same time with good concealment values.
- Has access to Specialized Repair Teams .
Cons:
- Citadel is extended above waterline and is exposed without any other protection.
- Low amount of hit points
- Low number of guns and access only to AP shells limits firepower.
- No torpedoes.
- Surveillance Radar has lower range than on her tech tree counterparts.
- Doesn't have access to Hydroacoustic Search and torpedoes making her fairly easily to be rushed without noticing or being able to effectively fight back.
- While she has access to Defensive AA Fire there is not much AA to begin with.
- Maximum speed of 30,2kts making her one of the slowest (if not the slowest) tier 8 cruiser.
