Tiger H1 Vs E

[Ritz Cracker™]

H1 has the lower BR and the the Tiger E has the small amount of added armor. What one would be better?

[Potatoes4Lyfe]

Well, if they would be going against each other, I'd say E wins, but really there isnt much difference between the two.

The E has the extra track armor along with a slightly redesigned turret mantlet that is better at absorbing some rounds (mainly the Soviet 85mm). But personally, I prefer the H1. Favourite German combo is the H1 and Panther D. The lower BR can help quite a bit.

And what rounds are the best for the h1?

30-35 stock PzGr 39 is what I usually load. I may load 3 HE or so for SPAA, but you can usually gun them down with an MG and the stock rounds.

Also a good idea so that you don't get racked is to have 71 rounds NOT in your tank, I got ammo racked so much I just stick with the -71 ammo, because really it's enough for a a match and you can just refill at points too.

Usually you don't need more then 40. At 39 rounds, you will have 4 racks empty so I find 30-35 to be the best. Enough ammo to last the mach, but not enough to get ammo racked as easily.

23 is the safest all rounds are stored on the ground

Which are completely useless, like all other APCR rounds in the game.

At this point, you are starting to face tanks with thicker sloped armor which APCR does not do well against (due to its light weight, soft outer shell, and quite rounded tiped tungston penetrator). Stock APCBC is often the best choice. Only time the APCR would be needed is against a Churchill Mk.VII and MAYBE the hull of an IS-1 or 2 (model 1943 though).

APCR is only good to disable individual modules or crew members, against the cramped russian tanks with slopped armor the Tiger faces, APCBC is much better

Lbh though, assuming rb (because nobody cares about the ab scrubs) unless yer in a snipefest at kursk you won't need more than 20 rounds without being able to resupply.
