Not understanding why as it’s a great tank, I rarely have a game in it where I don’t bounce at minimum 3.5k damage from T30, other tiger-maus and everything else but the jpz E100.
So here are some basic tips for the less cultured gentleman to find some success in this tank.
You play either hull down or side scraping. Never expose your lower plate unless absolutely necessary as even most tier 7s will butter it.
You don’t face your turret directly someone while you’re reloading unless they are distracted or you’re aiming a shot and even aiming sometimes it’s better to try and snap a shot if they’re aiming back(unless you know they don’t have very high pen HEAT).
Optimal angling while trading is having your gun over the inner most part of one of your front sprockets. For the turret you don’t face it straight ahead like a maus or E100 but a more shallow angle, about 15-20 degrees off center.
Look at an armor viewer or watch QBs review of it, he actually put out good information on how to effectively use the armor. Good luck and hopefully I won’t butter every other tiger-maus I see if just a few of you learn how to use it correctly. 🫡
