Parts of the turret side armour are covered by attached tracks, adding additional 30 mm of armour.Lower side hull armour is only 62 mm thick, exploitable when flanking the Tiger, Heavy Tank No.Turret front covered by gun mantlet has variable thickness depending on exact place, ranging from 90 to 200 mm of armour.Almost entire frontal lower plate is covered by attached tracks, adding 30 mm of armour.Commander's cupola is smaller and nicely rounded for better protection compared to Tiger H1.Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet, Cupola).One must remain a distance, exploit the 88 mm long-distance power, and maintain a diamond-shape compound angling to maximize armour thickness against the trailing enemy shells that will inevitably come towards the Tiger's way. This is due to the poor armour arrangement with its "boxy" features, providing no sloping benefits alone. The Tiger I should be played more as a bulky medium tank rather than a heavy tank despite its status, supporting allies from the sideline or from a distance rather than leading directly from the front. One may feel the need to charge head-on into battle, blaring that 88 mm gun as shells bounce off the front armour while the Schachtellaufwerk suspension system runs over the ground this is a short-lived strategy. The ideal angling of hull armour on Tiger I for maximum effective armour all-around It still lacks the 80 mm turret ring protection and the improved turret-top armour, but is otherwise identical to the Tiger E. 6 is an early Tiger E, featuring a late Tiger H1 turret on a mid-production Tiger E hull. Performance-wise, it is identical to the German Tiger E, but its ammunition selection is the same as the Tiger H1's. The Heavy Tank No.6 was initially made available as a pre-order premium pack for the release of the Japanese tree and was discontinued after the 2019 Summer sales. It was introduced along with the initial Japanese Ground Forces tree in Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai".
The transfer was never issued due to the continued increase of Allied naval supremacy, and the Tiger was loaned "back" to the Germans and used in the 101st SS heavy tank battalion in Belgium. The Heavy Tank No.6 is a Japanese-purchased Tiger I meant to be shipped over to Japan by submarine to bolster Japanese tank forces and research material.
