Why is the tiger lost on the battlefield and the pershing rules?

Also in other words, why do i take panther instead of tiger?

i mean, if u bring a tiger on the battlefield u have so many weapons that can penetrate the tiger reliably.

What can the tiger efficiently kill: Infantry and shermans.

What can the pershing efficiently kill: p4s, stugs, panthers, infantry, ...

So from my point of view if u have pershing, u have alot more targets u can focus on. If u use the tiger hell even one m10 or an Atgun can hold it back.

Can anyone tell me the role of the tiger these days? I dont get why we have such a tank as a tier3 unlock tbh.

PS: i know its a big support weapon. But that still doesnt justify that it can be hold back by most allied units and can be penetrated by nearly everything so efficiently.

Tiger is lost to battlefield because people finally realized how crap it is. Not only is it expensive but it needs a enormous ammount of support in order to become effective. Aka it can not reliably move alone without a schreck squad nearby. It has no speed to escape tricky situations and if you get engine damage on green health it is GG as it can't fix its engine back.

The big hulk of a tank is only good at bashing infantry. It is very good versus ranger blobs and similars but that's about it.


Edit:

If you want to use Tiger effectively, don't go to any game higher than 2v2. Then Tiger is noteably more useful.

IF you wanna bash inf. just take STUH,it does job much better. for 8 more extra pop you can support it with enough AT to be far more effective than tiger. Last 2 games I played with evil and gork,from what I saw,their tiger was shit!

Looking at how Shab does it. Yeah! Cheesy No. 1 M8 is all I used to support a pershing.

My point was you can't realistically expect to do well with an unsupported Pershing, is all.

Tiger is gone because Stuh is so broken right now. You'd have to be retarded to not run stuhs when playing blitz atm
