I have it and don't think I've even used up all the free repairs yet. We're well and truly into the era of light tanks and heatfs. I wish they could find a way to make heavy tanks more compelling to play.
Problem is, even at 5.7 I am constantly getting shredded by cold war era vehicles. In a heavy tank you are just huge and slow for no reason against modern ammunition. Idk what it is about 5.7 - 7.7 BR range but I am constantly uptiered. My soviet T-54 lineup was literally unuseable because I got uptiered at least 50 games in a row. I actually started counting.I dont understand how this happens because if I am getting uptiered, someone else must be getting down tiered... why is it never me though?
I picked the game back up last weekend and now I’m about to get my first ever tier 3 tank, turns out I had started playing the game on the least beginner friendly tree. I now know how it feels to roar along the battlefield burning panzer sand Shermans.
88 on the normal King Tiger will do the same though. people really don't seem to understand that for some reason. Mantle on the T tanks aren't much better than the King Tigers. Lol
@@USSWISCONSIN64 230mm pen vs 200mm armour and 220mm pen vs 185 armour Yes in state is not much diffence but tiger 2 have only 100mm side turret amour meanwhile T series mostly have 150mm
@@liewyuhao116 Which can help but doesn't make the tank OP though lol. pen for the T29 is higher around 250+ as well. but either way. KT88 is better than the T29. which makes me kinda sad. SLA16 should be 7.0 going by Gaijin's own logic with the Tiger E and H1 lol with it having a better engine.
The tiger 2 10.5 should return as good opponent for the T 34 and T 29. Also u have to be worried about skilled tiger 2 players with regular 8,8cm cannon
Upgraded? Damn, i thought Gayjin finally made historical late tracks, but no. (this tank goes with late sprocket wheel but with early idle track, stupid modeller who made it)
slightly faster, 105 mm cannon, rangefinder. Last one is the most noticeable upgrade on big maps. You can precisely lob your deadly shells through the entire map
This thing has a reload rate of around 15 seconds with its ergonomically nightmarish turret, 105mm gun and two-piece ammunition. But there are German players on the forums who want it reduced to as low as 10. Because it had TwO lOaDeRs. Not that they could do much in there besides play Twister. Also, check out that smoke bomb reload speed. I guess Gaijin forgot to raise the time on it, because the Firefly's smoke bomb launcher takes about 5 seconds to reload.
@@yuxih_david oh rly? In every way? t34 has - better gun depression - much better armoured turret all around - better pen - slightly better reverse - bloody three 12.7 mm MGs to shred light vehicles into pieces
@@1222dss Well, the Tiger II 105 can overpressure T34 though the turret, it also have explosive filler and T34 don't. so the turret armor in the T34 is obsolete, the T34 can not reach 10 degrees of gun's depression in the front anyway, it can only reach about 9. Also the tiger II 105 turret weakspot is literally impossible to hit from a distance because of volumetric while Tiger II H can pen T34 right though the turret, turret cheek and upper front plate. Also Tiger II 105 has a way shorter reload
Upgraded, deadlier and most importantly not available anymore, thanks Gajin
Infatti
The irony...
Worse than the regular one anyway, the extra reload time is a huge disadvantage for no real reason.
@@spamstabber Overpressure instakill after penetration is a huge bonus + it's faster
@@Miszorov and rangefinder and extra crew member for survivability
I don't have this beast, but I think I would still enjoy the regular one better. Can't beat the long 88's reload-firepower ratio :)
I have it and don't think I've even used up all the free repairs yet. We're well and truly into the era of light tanks and heatfs.

I have it and I prefer the regular for the same reason.
You just nailed the point. Fact is tiger II's advantage over other heavy tanks is half the reload time. 105mm is pointless.
The nice thing abt the 105 is you rarely have to shoot someone twice.
@Liam Lake Day Don't forget if it penetrates it's a one shot because of overpressure.

Common problemn. And yes, i too like to play Tiger IIs less because of all the Cold War things thrown against it.
The repair cost as well is upgraded
Yeah its around 14-17k
Gives you a nice warm feeling when you paste one from range. You know you saved some teammates a**
the killcam shows the inside explosion is like a HE
Love this beast! I have over 3k battles in it!
Don’t even play Germans that much and would still like to see this king kitty roar 😡
old WT was more realistic tbh like realistic sounds and such things and was just better
Can you do a vid on the Marder1A3 when you have it? Would be cool

your awareness is top tier, im trying to play like that i DIE :)
I think it's one of the best Tiger 2
Good thing gun barrels don't collide with anything.
Aaaaannnd there is the real big Kitteh :D
This is one of the few tanks that makes me nervous in a T29\34 bc it'll go right through the turret face and has better velocity

Can you please do a video on the normal Tiger 2(H) too.Loved the video btw...
why do you use so much of ammo? i can understand it on bigger maps, but in town.... just why?
Would you be able to play the Ru 251? I love the vehicle but I just don't know how to use it effectively.
Upgraded? Damn, i thought Gayjin finally made historical late tracks, but no. (this tank goes with late sprocket wheel but with early idle track, stupid modeller who made it)
Gaijin updated it, how so??
Love your videos 💕😍 from Uzbekistan
Can you play with eye tracker war thunder ?
What did the upgrade? Or do you mean the tiger 2 105 has the bigger gun?
Long Live The King!!
Rare content
Can you even front town this thing? With what and how?
@Flokee it can kill is3 frontaly with trapshot right under the gun. Not as easy as before volumetric shells update but still doable
What did they upgrade exactly?? i have no access to game, some one help
The main gun of it is bigger than the standard
He returned?
Lol i have this thing and its like an 88 long barrel except if you pen than your enemy goes straight back to hanger
OP
In what way?
so how was this tank upgraded ?
Bigger cannon and it's faster there's more to it that's just what I remember.
slightly faster, 105 mm cannon, rangefinder. Last one is the most noticeable upgrade on big maps. You can precisely lob your deadly shells through the entire map

But still impossibile to get 😔
