+* The gun mantlet, MG port, and driver's port are particularly hard to penetrate due to their complex, varying shape and thickness
 * Decent cannon with adequate accuracy and a range of shells to choose. Stock shell has great penetration and damage, and can knock out common opponents easily with a single shot (e.g. [[T-34-85]], [[M4A2 (76) W]], [[IS-1]], [[M6A1]]). Has another AP that sacrifices a bit penetration for more TNT
 * One of the fastest heavy tanks with its top speed of 45 km/h, meaning it can get to some positions quickly alongside friendly medium tanks.
@@ Line 135: / Line 136: @@
 * -8° gun depression works well in most hilly terrain
 * The rear is surprisingly hard to penetrate, partially due to the slightly-angled armour and partly due to the large exhaust pipes which seem to deflect shells
 * The strong gun makes it easy to destroy most opponents at the its battle rating with a single shot, even M4A3E2 Jumbo, as long as you carefully aim for the machine gun port
 * Has access to track armour which can still be useful in the overall protection of the Tigris
 '''Cons:'''

 * Commander's cupola is tall and easy to penetrate
 * Is a big and tall target, easy to get spotted and shot at
 * Tracks are rather loud so enemies will most times hear you and will be alert, so surprise attacks will be difficult

 '''Notes:'''

-* Turret side (about 1/3) is covered by attached tracks, adding additional 30 mm of armour.
+* Turret side (about 1/3) and hull front are covered by attached tracks, adding additional 30 mm of armour.
 * While the hull side of the tank is 82 mm, the side where the suspension is located is only 62 mm thick so be aware of this weak point.
 * On paper, the best angle is roughly 38.8° with armour all-round being from the front 130 mm.
