Depends on the situation.
The Tiger II (H) has almost double the fire rate and good APHE.

The T34 boasts a stronger turret and is slightly more mobile but the hull is overall weaker and the reload takes a long time.

Tiger2H is a better balanced and more versatile vehicle that could easily be 7.0 in another techtree. However if I knew for a fact that I would be playing with germans on my team at 6.7 I would rather have T34 since it is generally better defensively and with german teammates you would need to be defensive a lot

Having both researched i would say the T34. Its gun is great, has more pen and the power of the shell makes up for the slow reload. You have a better chance at killing targets with your first shot. Also the gun depression of the T34 is amazing, easier to peek over hills and to look down at targets if you're elevated. The turret is much harder to pen correctly then the Tiger II, i always get shot in the face in my Tiger and its always a pen. Also the T34 is more mobile, has a faster reverse and forward acceleration. Overall the T34 is better and you will enjoy it much more. PLUS it also has 3 12.7mm guns to use, will ruin light tanks and planes all day.

2H is way better, less vulnerable in every way, better reload

You can shoot the T34 in the sight, trap shot, machine gun, top of the turret

So uh T29 back to 6.7 or smth

all the tiger has is a better reload, the turret is easily penetrated. i have both so i would know...

Tiger 2 has better suspension for snap shots, armour and hull. But thats about it.

T34 has amazing reactive mobility, both traverse, engine and turret traverse. a massive 283mm flat pen point blank range pen and decent angle pen. Trolly turret mantlet, gun depression, machine guns and crew size and spacing.

The T34 is better in almost every single way except the reload. People just don't know how to really use it to its best efficiency, but that can go for the tiger as well. I love being aggressive with the T34 as it suits my play style, along with my aced reload at 14.9 seconds it really catches players off guard

But sad thing like all vehicles at the br, nearly all heavy tanks at that range have a 1 shot ammo rack for heat and sabot vehicles on the left cheek of the vehicle.

Tiger ll gets one shot every time.

You can literally shimmy with neutral gear and throw the turret around and every shot is now coinflip if it pens you.

I also have both, so I also would know.

Tiger ll only has 185mm of protection and anything beyond that can one shot it, and the turret is also easily penned from every other angles for a guaranteed ammo rack explosion.

The T34 has WAY more side armor and the crew is way more spread out meaning you can only take out the driver or the gunner in one shot, and a massive breech that protects the crew in the turret.

Sounds like it comes down to a certain playstyle then right? we are going over basic stats here, overall T34 takes the win, not by much but it def has more flexibility then a tiger. cant beat its gun depression and 3 50. cals

The issue is that the game forces a lot of CQC, and the Tiger ll has zero protection anywhere but from the front, if anyone catches you from any other angle you're one shot.

The T34 has way better survivability with a very strong turret that is not nearly as punishing when you're forced into CQC, face multiple targets or are just in the wrong place.

T34 has only 76 mm of side armour while the 2H has 80 and some of it is angled.

2H is a lot less exploitative than the T34, turret or nothing.

Tiger 2H: Unless you get unlucky most shells won't take out your ammo and you still have the radioman and driver.

You can shoot through the roof and take out the turret crew, maybe ammo

If the shell hits the gun cover, it's a non-pen, bounce or only takes the barrel or breech out

T34: A decent shot to the turret ring will take out the T34 turret crew except the commander, as well as horizontal drive and the breech.

A shot to the top of the gun mantle, has a high chance of taking out the entire turret crew and possibly ammo.

A shot through the optic only leaves, loader and commander

A lfp shot can ammo rack the shell charges and take out half the crew, if the charges don't detonate
