It's basically a KV2 zis-6 just with trolly armor, I play it that way and it works well just be careful with the gun, it doesn't have the stopping power of the 107 so one misplaced shot and you're going back to the hanger :3
False, if you angle it 45 degrees while facing backwards, it's armor is very trolly, your side armor protects your crew, and and shot to the upper rear will be eaten by the the radiators.
I have this tank And necer play with this. Its like having a tiger tank who have the weak spot of the tiger p,the tiger h1 and like beiing a whale to move. Only to have a better reverse.
Not only the reverse speed but it has 202 mm of frontal armor if you go on to the side and see with you're cursor you can see two more 100 mm armor platings behind the first armor plating
You are definitely not in the wrong here, but oh boy once the crew has enough skill points it does wonders. Just a few days ago I got 9 kills with it, by the end of the match it looked like swiss cheese and was still fully operational. Sadly, my teammates left the game, and I ran out of ammo. It was like that one movie scene, with enemies just taking shots at me while I'm just turning left and right bouncing them off until the tracks got destroyed, which in turn gave the enemies a chance to kill me without a problem.
Sure it IS the tiger with the weakest frontal armor However, an electric transmission just means you can drive backwards and be fine... at 5.3 might I add?
But i gotta say that it has the fastest reverse speed among the tigers
So… Is-2 but German.
@@stacosaurus nah, more like IS-1 the canon is not that inncurate
@@Fluffypancakes-o7q so it is accurate?
yeah it's good in battle positions
@@Fluffypancakes-o7qYou would think it would be the IS-1 because of the gun being so close to an 85mm but nope you yapped about some irrelevant shit 😭
However there is a very nice premium version of this, with an additional 100mm plate on the hull, and well the turret is volumetric hell.
This is also a premium.
Isn't this a reward vehicle I've test drove it@@ahappypcuser3344
No, it is an event vehicle @ahappypcuser3344
@@MetrixGoat It's a premium in the sense that it can be bought on the marketplace
@@TheT-90thatstaresintoyoursoul It's not golden, thus not classified as a premium vehicle. It doesn't get any research bonusses
Your only hope is that the enemy mistakes you for a tiger p and shits themselves

Engine is the best armour i use this as IS 1
Damn why yall Always show the back of your tank it just piss everyone of
@@Ilouvminors Skill issue
@@Ilouvminorsradiator is a part of the armor too 😂
Those soviet turret cheecks sure do look juicy.

Same, i use that same tactic
That make the frontal become biggest weakspot you ever want to imagine
And then that update happened with the addition of a gradually destroying engine bc broken radiatorz
@@I_want_White_Cheddar_Popcorn aian't that great?
Gup Leopon Team: Are you sure about that?
I use electric engine as main armour in this one
Bro just called the Porsche tiger bad on warthunder 💀
No he didn’t
As a proud owner of this tank, I will continue the legacy of tiger 1 H
You forget, it stayed at 5.3
i have it and play it quite a lot, the frontal armor is defiantly weak and it has to be played pretty defensively but it is still a tiger
I have this tank
And necer play with this.
Its like having a tiger tank who have the weak spot of the tiger p,the tiger h1 and like beiing a whale to move.
Only to have a better reverse.
Yeah, having the additional reverse speed doesn't make up for the weak spots, although it still isn't a bad tank :).
Tiger p is very cool and cute. You can drive it backwards and use engine as meatshield
But to be fair, it is at 5.7 and has best reverse speed
VK45.01P is 5.3 so is the tiger with lowest br
@@hectorhelm Only the VK is 5.3 since the last br change.
peeking beside a building might fool the enemy that you are not a p variant😂😂
The whole point of this thing being insanely good is the fact it can reverse into battle like a t1e1, its effective in the right situations
bro that has literally 204 mil front armor that one you hovered over is just a extra part
This isn't a Tiger 1 P, it's the VK45.01P which doesn't have the bolt on applique armor.
Gladly I could skip basically every VK I can remember seeing in the tech tree
It actually has double that armor, you could see that if you look at the armour piece behind it.
The other porche Tiger has that. This tank doesn't have the bolt on armor.
@@SeanFickenoh, my bad.
All good, this one is on the rare side so it isn't as well known.
Not only the reverse speed but it has 202 mm of frontal armor if you go on to the side and see with you're cursor you can see two more 100 mm armor platings behind the first armor plating
The VK 45.01P in game doesn't have the extra bolt on armor. You are thinking of the pz.bwg. VI P
“Weak spots of a tiger P”
Prolly because it *is* a Tiger P.
It's actually a VK45.01P.
Just wait until they add the VK 65.01
Other than the fact that it has 100 mm plate right behind it that nobody realizes. Making the effect of thickness 200 mm
This is in fact not the tank you are thinking of, this one doesn't have the addition armor.
Porsche really though this would win lmao
*uses it backwards 🗿*
Thats a bad armor ngl. I mean 100 for a tiger??????? He doesnt hold that much and i still see some green armor parts on the front.....
Even if you fire at its wheels it dies 💀💀💀
It has a double layer on the front it has 204mm of armor in two 102mm plates
The VK 45.01P doesn't have the additional 102mm plate, you are thinking of the other Porsche tiger.
i just use this as a long range TD, decent depression and good reverse gear mean u can pop in and out of cover quickly
Until it started reversing and became unpierceable
Same armor on front as tiger 1 just you cant angle because of hull cheeks
I love this Tiger!
Nah, Gaijin nerfed its armor.
Maybe because it's a prototype
dont angle it and it becomes great.
Idk why you’d ever use this over the other Porsche tiger premium. Even playing with the slight BR increase seems worth it
Just put the rear forward
It has a additional 100mm plate behind that 100mm plate
yea but it can "back it up"
But the other Porsche tigers the best tiger
Talking about tigers not king tigers
do the IS-2 reverse tactic but with this
so it's just a German version of the m6a1
At least it's worth $70
just go into fights backwards?
You dont play the VK frontaly you reverse like in an IS 2
By any chance do you have a discord server bc I would love to join if you have one
Actcyhkctually it is broken and needs to move to 11.7
Play it backwards
Absolutey not. It has the fastest reverse speed, and, which makes it better than the GE version, pzgr. instead of just pzgr 39.
Rear first into battle 😬
That's VK 45.02 not tiger p
Tiger P had a great armor (250mm) in front
He didn't say it was.
He said it just has the same weaknesses.
But its brother (the pz befehlswagen) is the best tiger 1 variant
Im new to war thunder (with some experience bc of i played dor a little bit) but how do we get to that
Still kicks my ass every time I come across it.
Play it like you would an IS tank it will be a lot better
Is this researchable?
no

Lol i won multiple 1 vs 4+ in that thing
What is this thing br?
it's at 5.3 in tanks RB.
Sure it IS the tiger with the weakest frontal armor
However, an electric transmission just means you can drive backwards and be fine... at 5.3 might I add?
Nope it doesn't, it has double plate, the frontal armor is 200mm not 100.
That's the Tiger P, this is the VK45.01P.
U have be diagnosed with skill issues buddy
