As per usual, the Tiger I was my first heavy tank. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t a bouncing machine, however overtime the more I used it the more I loved it, it really does teach you how to sidescrape with little in your hands for options and that’s what I like about it.
At first I really sucked at playing the tank, I tried sidescraping and it took me a while before I got the hang of it. It doesn't do the most damage, but I like it. At my highest, I did 3600 damage in 1 game.
It's my story too. When I learned how to use tiger one I jumped in to a platoon with tiger (P) my mate was very aggressive and believe it or not this set up with aggression is disastrous for enemies 8/10 we win and you get a morale boost about your tank as heck
I cant explain how happy I am WG has FINALLY given the Tiger I some love. This is how the Tiger shouldve been from the start in Blitz. It didnt need a dpm buff, it needed an armour Buff. Well made Video Bushka, glad to have ya back in action again
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Rylan Eddie I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Xenomorph 9/11 The Kv-3 and IS purpose is different... Kv-3 is defensive fortress so Kv-3 has way more armor than the IS who is more focus on offensive heavy... and the armor of T29 was sloped which can gets her armor by default up to 203 mm thick... which was enough to bounce Nashorn 88mm gun.... and T29 with down hull is always going to bounce anyway due to the insane turret armor that thing have....
IS's armor is probably one of the strongest armor profiles in the the tier atm if you miss the hatch. It might be op when i bought it back to see how it changed i just yoloed into 4 tanks. Sure my team was supporting me but i got a steel wall a spartan medal a mastery and i survived on low hit points but hey 4 tanks bro. Just hide the lower plate and angle your tank wiggle it aggressively and move forward and backwards so they miss your hatch. Its alfa damage tho is insane reload as well pretty nice.
Favorite way to use this thing is by going with mediums, especially in tier 6 games. I'd like to add I like all German tanks. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Tiger's gun accuracy? It's phenomenal.
Back in the good ol days lol. Of course I remember running a stock IS-3 and shitting my pants every time I went heavy alley and found an E 100 or worse a Mouse.
@@sersquishiez back in those days poor tier 10s get caught off positions trying to swarm what little tier 8 there was. And the occasional tier 7 that get stuck along 😂😂
Bush, u should show how it performs in normal matchmaking most players get all the time against T28 defender, IS3 defender, Skorpion G, CDC's, Mod1's Progetto 46's, Lowe, Drac, Lycan, Helsing, Tiger 1 usually meets tier 8, so it needed the buff
This tank is definitely underrated, whenever I drove it after the buff I would just charge into the battle and be a bouncing and ramming machine that could destroy almost everything.
Ah yes that famous patch where someone thought it was good idea to give a heavy the rate of fire of the Comet and a turret traverse that could out turn an M41 or LTTB going 60 klicks.
Tiger I is one of my favorite tanks. It can compete at Tier 8 as well. At first I didn’t like the Tiger II, but the more I play it, the more I love it.
Couple of years ago I was 1 vs 7 on the old Rockfield on what would be the A cap side and my Tiger 1 managed to hold the line until my team came around to finish off. I’ll never forget that fight, I had about 100 hp left and they were desperate to try and finish me off. It used to annoy me that the Tiger 1 was a tier 7 when historically it should be tier 6. It feels like it’s been stretched into tier 7 and the armour buff taking it from historically accurate to game sensible really proves the point. Tiger phobia was real, so much so that long barrel MKIV’s were being mistakenly reported as Tiger engagements by the allies. They were very few and far between but when you came up against one you had one hell of a job penning it. You had to rely on it’s slow traverse, lack of top speed and reliability. Things WG have also got woefully wrong in order to shoehorn the vehicle into tier 7.
The problem with the Tiger I in blitz is that half the people that drive it are Michael Wittmann reincarnated. While the other half think that they are Michael Wittmann reincarnated but only die in his manner.
I know you’re busy with PUBGM but I enjoy your videos more than most. Your insight is great. And your commentary during death match and reaper rooms is great. Keep up the work!
I've got to say I was one of many who started with the Tiger 1 as my first real heavy tank. And I got 600ish battles with a 68% win rate, and I had to learn how to use it well but once I did I fell for it and just kept playing it even after I got plenty of exp for Tiger II.
Totally agree with what you said about the tiger. It’s my favourite go to tank when you just want to mess around. It turns on a sixpence has a great gun
Tiger 1 is my second most played tank , just bully mediums in it . Tiger 2 is a beast atm and my Lowe is sitting in garage gathering dust as the tiger 2 is so much better .
This tiger 1 is a beast for me. Its my go to tank to "fix" my WR. Bushka i have a nice Ace video to give you, 4K dmg and so on. I just don't know how to reach you tho.
Fun that you mention real life counterparts to tanks in Blitz. You have a million examples of how extremely different these tanks worked irl. The t29-34 tanks has little amour. The mass produced/best tanks of the war is nothing out of the ordinary. And let me tell you sumtin'. Take E25. If I recall correctly, the E25 was based on the hull of the E100.
Personally I prefer the P, mostly because I'm more of a heavy tank driver than a medium one. The P has strong frontal armor, the tiger has speed. I didn't like the tiger I because I was driving it wrong also. I was driving it down the heavy route and getting killed and sometimes not being able to pen the enemy.
I love the Tiger I because if you use the abilities and elements of this tank well, it is an absolute beast even some tier 8 heavies have a hard time to pen the armor
So when I started playing wot Blitz I literally set my goal to get the tiger 1, ( because I'm love the way it looks and the presents it bares) now that I have it I cant see myself using any other tank. It's such a beast but like you said in your video, you don't really see to many people using it. I main that beauty and so far haven't been let down to often.
Almost every game i play i kill and ram. Tiger 1 is my number 1 from the begining. Bether tank for ramming i didn't drove. And the funny thing is when someone tries to ram you :)))) always get themselves wrecked. And also you are correct about Lowe. Underrated but very efficient!!! 57% :)
I think this tank shines not against other heavies, but against mediums. You can destroy mediums because they're going to have a harder time penning your armor, unlike the heavies.
The only downside to the Tiger I is that it only has 220 alpha which is low for a tier 7 heavy where other heavies have between 310 to 640 alpha. Sure the Tiger’s DPM is better than most tier 7 heavies, but where the Tiger really struggles is when you are facing heavies that are playing peak and boom and pulling back behind cover during their reload. In this situation which is very common when facing heavies, you are trading your low 220 alpha shots for 310 to 640 alpha shots from other tier 7 heavies like the T29, Lupus, Tankenstein, Lycan, and the Smasher. And there isn’t much you can do if a heavy is firing and then pulling back behind cover other than rushing them, but often there are multiple enemy heavies and if you rush one of them, you will get shot by my multiple enemy tanks which nullifies your good DPM. Because of this weakness I will often play the Tiger I and P on the medium flank.
The Tiger P was a better tank than the Tiger I, until the Tiger I had its it’s armor buffed in the last update. Now both tanks pretty much have the same armor profile, DPM, alpha, and gun handling, but the Tiger I has the advantage of better speed and mobility, which gives it the edge over the Tiger P which is considerably more sluggish. Prior to the Tiger I getting its armor buffed, it’s speed and mobility advantage wasn’t enough to make up for its inferior armor, but now that it’s armor is on par with the Tiger P, the Tiger P now longer has any advantages over the Tiger I. Now there is no reason to play the Tiger P over the Tiger I because of the Tiger I’s speed and mobility advantage and every other spec being the same.
I think i dropped 4.8 k dmg and 5 kills in my first game since buff ... i was really shocked... this is my first tier 7 and my first favorite tank... I agree with Bushka whole heartedly... its really a beast
The tiger is so good right now. My current tiger winrate is 8% higher than my current smasher winrate. Part of that might be the smasher tends to get gangbanged by the reds to get it gone while the tiger flies under the radar but damn... its fun.
Tier 6 & 7 is where the game is at. Rockets ruin all higher tiers. Perhaps you could make an MT25 video. Tank is broke, rolls up to front of KV1S , pull my pants down and runs off with 360 HP, and then he comes back for another before I've reloaded...
the tiger 1 in the storybooks is usually a state of the art tank, more armored and with a bigger gun than any other tank when they were fielded in large numbers. compared to the mainly light tanks it faced, it was slow, but could destroy them form further away than the enemy could even engage at. in blitz, its fighting tanks it wouldn't have seen in real life, so it's kind of even. to be realistic, it would need to be put down a couple of tiers, but for obvious reasons, that silly in the game.
I once won a game in Tiger 1 with 13 hp left, I destroyed 7 tanks and my damage was around 5500 and I think I only had heat shells left. I fought 7 tanks on my own, some of them were 1 shot of course but my god that was one good battle.
The tiger 1 and panther 1&2 are all tanks I love and do really good on. The tiger 1 especially is amazing using it because people dont expect the 5.5s reload
Been listening. Finally to guys like yourself and I’m finally grinding my way out of complete mediocrity to being a fair player No premium. Nothing just grin d wins out. Learning and enjoying it more Thanks for the advice to gamers
The moment i got this i lost the first game and quickly research the turret and the gun after that i get better on using it and sometimes getting 3.2k dmg in a row so i would say its a great tank in a hands of good player who knows to angle its armor and shot at weakspots
Its an instant-classic tank and my first tank in-game. Very much similar to some German tanks like Panther II (Tiger I is my alternative when bored with it)
My first heavy was vk H but I had to paly that to get tiger 1, when I got the game I want straight for Tiger 1. It's an absolute beast of a machine, I have aced in many times, and its the perfect tank for me, I like a tank with mobility a good gun, and strong armor on the front and enough on the side so u can side scrape, tiger 1 has it all. Its honestly my fav tank, I enjoy playing it, when I first got it I was annoyed on and it was but after losing 10s on the 20s of battles I understood how to play it, and my win rate with this bad boy is I think 87% something. When people n the game say that tiger 1 is bad, they are wrong, in real life tiger 1 was feared because of its crew, so I think even in-game u have to have some skill to make the most out of it. One more thing, its a Yolo tank, in my opinion, play with the team, and if ur the last one standing, do the best u can cause it can hold many tanks off.
I always thought the Tiger 1 was a crap tank and just free XP'd it to the Tiger 2. After watching your video i gave it another chance and with a 40% win rate in it I got a mastery in only 3 battles!! Thanks Bushka 👍
I've never driven the tiger. Wanted to, but never went down the line. IDK, I always find it easy to take them out. I run hull down Meds a lot and really have no trouble. Normally players won't side scrape and just peekaboom but either way its no problem. Over 3 accounts and 5 years of playing I only ever had trouble with aggressive players a couple years back.
Omg I’ve been playing War thunder for some months now and I’ve seen tigers as how they used to be and let me tell you that watching this video makes my brain explode
Tiger 1 is now great and tou said 100 ping good Mine:300+ping and lots of packet loss due to bad signal tower used since 1996 for early 3g,even though classed as 4g 12mbps is top speed
Also in the real world, the Tiger 1 had very very high quality armour, interlocked, stepped and welded, 100mm frontal was virtually immune to any Allied and Russian tanks and anti tank guns that existed in 1942-early 1943, it says so much that it could still do the business in late 43, 44 and 45. Take a look at the History of Tiger 231 of the schwere Panzerabteilung 503.......this Panzer would just not die.
Do one on the jackson... that is the only tank I regularly get 2-3k dmg below t8 its op asf It has a great dpm and ok armor with alot of pen and accuracy
Before the tiger 1 was buffed I saw them as easy targets. I always saw a tiger 1 n thought "hang on, hes gonna poke out or not hide properly. I'll take him out first"
I guess the thought of being in a giant box didn't cross their mind even though the in game tutorial basically tells you a 90 degree angle is the best chance for a pen.
Its hard to like the Tiger 1 when the ARL 44(a tier lower heavy BTW) performs as well or better. If WOT Blitz wants to re-invigorate interest in heavies they could do it with one simple change.... Lower the aim time in heavies. There's nothing like being in a heavy and waiting and waiting and waiting for that reticle to shrink down to an acceptable size.
My fav t7 is the VK 45 03...its underpowered yes, but it's incredibly powerful gun wise...its fairly mobile, and I can brawl against high t8 tier heavies. But the tank is underpowered in itself as I said before...it needs more armor hull wise (20-40mm buff all round is needed) turret is a different story...imo just give it the stock turret armor on the VK 45 02 B at t9 and I'm good. Both the VK and the Tiger are similar in playstyles, the tjger just has better speed and armor and more effectively in covering lines without bleeding a lot.
As per usual, the Tiger I was my first heavy tank. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t a bouncing machine, however overtime the more I used it the more I loved it, it really does teach you how to sidescrape with little in your hands for options and that’s what I like about it.

Its honestly my fav tank, I enjoy playing it, when I first got it I was annoyed on and it was but after losing 10s on the 20s of battles I understood how to play it, and my win rate with this bad boy is I think 87% something.
When people n the game say that tiger 1 is bad, they are wrong, in real life tiger 1 was feared because of its crew, so I think even in-game u have to have some skill to make the most out of it. One more thing, its a Yolo tank, in my opinion, play with the team, and if ur the last one standing, do the best u can cause it can hold many tanks off.
I always thought the Tiger 1 was a crap tank and just free XP'd it to the Tiger 2. After watching your video i gave it another chance and with a 40% win rate in it I got a mastery in only 3 battles!! Thanks Bushka 👍
Fiting name for that winrate
Maid... just wow elitist much?
@@simpinainteasy9854 no just tired of 40% winrate players
@@maiddzomba8069 i had a 40% winrate on Tiger 1 not overall
@@Fx553rgx57 how,I had 65% winrate on it before the buff
I've never driven the tiger. Wanted to, but never went down the line. IDK, I always find it easy to take them out. I run hull down Meds a lot and really have no trouble. Normally players won't side scrape and just peekaboom but either way its no problem. Over 3 accounts and 5 years of playing I only ever had trouble with aggressive players a couple years back.
Poor Tiger P.
TigerI and II are borderline OP after the buffs
...unless you start firing gold of course then they're not that special suddenly
move fast like a tiger... informative video!
Omg I’ve been playing War thunder for some months now and I’ve seen tigers as how they used to be and let me tell you that watching this video makes my brain explode
I love the Tiger I even just its looks it's beautiful and the VK 36.01 (H) is great on its tier
Now the tiger p is in the shadows
Unneeded buff Tbh, it was underrated before but now it's just overpowered
İ dealt 4.8 k damage today 6 kills its so good
Totally agree killer fun and ramming lol TANKS for all you do bushka
2800 dmg for a mastery is crazy nowadays you gotta get atleast 4k
I forgot about this game since I spend most of my time on War thunder
i bought this tank did 3 battles lost all my battles but ima buy it back and give it another go
Was going to say I use it to hunt the mediums.
I don't know but I got three shotted by a tier 7 and I was crying bout it for days
Tiger 1 is now great and tou said 100 ping good
Mine:300+ping and lots of packet loss due to bad signal tower used since 1996 for early 3g,even though classed as 4g 12mbps is top speed
When i thought this tank was better than any other heavy in tier 7 and now it got a buff :D and i was sidescraping before the buff.
I prefer the IS tbh. Better armor and that 400 alfa. For this kind of plat style IS-8 is best tank its crazy strong
Good reload good armour good speed and not to op this is the perfect tank and well balanced
Also in the real world, the Tiger 1 had very very high quality armour, interlocked, stepped and welded, 100mm frontal was virtually immune to any Allied and Russian tanks and anti tank guns that existed in 1942-early 1943, it says so much that it could still do the business in late 43, 44 and 45. Take a look at the History of Tiger 231 of the schwere Panzerabteilung 503.......this Panzer would just not die.
Guess I'll grind a bit of the German line
I haven't tried it after the buff, but before the buff it was kinda meh.
It was a heavy tank with medium tank armor.
Is this video before they buff tiger 1 or after.
Leo osorio after
Great review! Now I'm going to drive my Tiger 1 :)
Tier8 and above is not played without yelling to missile tanks the best thing is to play tier7 untill they nerf it
Ok so is this buffed tiger 1 with the 168mm frontal or is this old tiger with the 100 mm
My Sherman easily defeated one, and my Sherman was low health
well uh I guess
You can't meet a Tiger 1 in a WoT Blitz match with an M4 Sherman.
@@AVGyerra22 that was Fury reference
When i got it first i was a yolo then i started watching RUclips videos how to use it properly its was a monster
I only drive the tiger 1 last nite i killed two tiger ones with my tiger 1. they did something to tiger 1 it seems to be notably faster than normal .
I loved the Tiger from the jump too. I'm not the fan of the Tiger ll that you are
This is my favourite tank even though I have the tiger 2 I still like the tiger 1 more
Do one on the jackson... that is the only tank I regularly get 2-3k dmg below t8 its op asf
It has a great dpm and ok armor with alot of pen and accuracy
Before the tiger 1 was buffed I saw them as easy targets. I always saw a tiger 1 n thought "hang on, hes gonna poke out or not hide properly. I'll take him out first"
Ah yes. The drivers who thought it was a Mouse in terms of armor profile.
@@sersquishiez indeed. The ones that thought they were impenetrable whilst only showing easy to pen areas
I guess the thought of being in a giant box didn't cross their mind even though the in game tutorial basically tells you a 90 degree angle is the best chance for a pen.
Great iconic tank love its play and if you want to really learn how to use it, go Kuro( personal fav) and 131 same tank different tiers
Its hard to like the Tiger 1 when the ARL 44(a tier lower heavy BTW) performs as well or better. If WOT Blitz wants to re-invigorate interest in heavies they could do it with one simple change.... Lower the aim time in heavies. There's nothing like being in a heavy and waiting and waiting and waiting for that reticle to shrink down to an acceptable size.
It is what it is
My fav t7 is the VK 45 03...its underpowered yes, but it's incredibly powerful gun wise...its fairly mobile, and I can brawl against high t8 tier heavies. But the tank is underpowered in itself as I said before...it needs more armor hull wise (20-40mm buff all round is needed) turret is a different story...imo just give it the stock turret armor on the VK 45 02 B at t9 and I'm good.
Both the VK and the Tiger are similar in playstyles, the tjger just has better speed and armor and more effectively in covering lines without bleeding a lot.
