Just like the video you posted explains, angling your tank may give another opponent a juicy target that wouldn’t necessarily be available if you just keep your armor front. Tiger designers didn’t give it that thick front plate so it needed to be angled to be effective.

Sep 25, 2023 · The perfect angle is the barrel at the junction of the front and side plates. (Not always easy on the H1 model, because of the grenade launchers). It’s the diamond position.

Jul 16, 2014 · German engineers knew about the benefits of sloped armor when they designed the Tiger 1. They decided against it because: the 100mm of frontal armor were more than enough to stop enemy rounds at the time even at a 90° angle.

Jan 16, 2023 · If you run into a Tiger that actually knows how to angle, your only real hope is to either shoot the cupola (Very unreliable at range or if it's a Tiger E), or kill their barrel and flank.

The Tiger's hull was made of flat plates, many of them vertical, forming a box shape with protruding sponsons at the sides. This simplified model of the hull has been cut open, showing the central plates at their actual thicknesses. These are the angles and thicknesses of the armour plates at the nose.

The Tiger 1's suspension consisted of 8 swing arms per side, each with multiple wheels. Every swing arm was sprung by a torsion bar (Drehstabfeder) inside the hull. This is a model of one.

At close ranges (Approximately <500M) the 88mm can penetrate the Tiger 1 hull no matter how you angle but at long range the gun still packs enough of a punch to go through both cupolas. The coaxial machine gun and gunner sight also work but I …
