Is Panzerbefehlswagen VI (P) worth it?

idk

I've had mine for a couple of years now, it's a nice tank to have but its performance is pretty mediocre in my opinion. Sure you've got 200mm of hull armour, but your cheeks are only 80mm and it's extremely slow. I'd rather just play a regular Tiger tank.

If you've got a 50-75% discount for it, go for it, but at full price I wouldn't bother.

My biggest issue with that tank are those cheeks and slow turret turning.

I want it to have some 5.7 premium tank, but it's pretty expensive and not that good from what i've heard.

For sure, the only benefit it has over the regular Tigers is it has a much faster reverse speed, however the much slower forwards speed and turret traverse negate that advantage in my opinion.

As I said, if you really want it get it at 50% off (there's a sale in November, it should go half off then) but don't pay full price for it. If you have access to the marketplace there's a Tier III 5.7 BR premium "Furry" Tiger there for about ~20 bucks.

Nevermind, it's finally gone up to 40 GJN. Don't buy it for that. That's 40 USD. It was 20 GJN for a month or so but it's finally started going up.

I know, a lot of players don't recognize it's Tiger I P.

I'm one of those masochists that actually enjoys Germany 5.7, and I can say that it's a good tank (disregarding the price, because I got mine 75% off). I find it does somewhat better in an uptier than the regular Tigers, due to the frontal armor.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

You cant angle it because of those stupid corners and turret is trash.

[Blunder Bro]

Its good if you make sure to hide the 80mm corners when peaking around corners. But usually you get one-shot by everything anyway as it has the crap regular tiger turret which can't take a hit, but I can rarely pen even in weakspots and using good guns.

Wait until there is sale. I don't say that for this tank only, but for all tanks.

So not being able to see the enemy and being hit from every direction if I don't get killed by the first shot. Taking forever to get anywhere and not being able to find anyone, but then get one-shot through a Forest worth of bushes? Yeah sure... Sounds fun!

It's only for skilled players and a tank collector. It's very fun to use, bought it in a sale, many players try to go through the frontal plate and fail and rage over the comms, it's funny 🤣🤣
