How to kill a Tiger in 1943

[RedDevil]

If your Opponent knows how to use his Tigers properly, you'll have a hard time killing Tigers. Tigers that wander too close to the front lines are the ones that can be killed easier. The biggest obstacle when facing Tigers is the fear of them. A close second is a fixation upon them, ignoring the other units. :)


In wooded and city terrain
Using ATRs and SMG units with Molotov or ENG units with explosives can deal with the Tigers that get separated from their INF support. Use the ATRs to button up the Tiger and even possibly damage the gun or tracks with repeated shooting. Then move the INF units within 40 meters and let fly with your Molotov or explosives.

The T34/57 tank and the 57mm ATG are capable of killing the Tiger easily from the side or rear at 1000 meter ranges, frontally at less than 500 (but only with hull hits as the turret has reinforcement)

If you get lucky when buying an 85mm AA gun that it comes with AP ammo, this weapon will deal with the Tiger as well but it is VERY vulnerable.

Are rules needed? It's all a matter of skill and time. Most people aren't willing to devote enough energy to a game where fighting Tigers is a top priority for winning it. They might rather prefer these limitations to ensure their game is balanced for the enjoyment.
New players might benefit from the limits, but veterans shouldn't even consider them an option IMO. :)
