The internal layout has become more detailed, and the addition of the gun barrel tool module has increased the parts to be repaired when hit.
The Tiger 2 still boasts strong armor, with both the turret and hull providing high protection. Mobility is decent on flat terrain, but can be difficult on rough terrain.
The Tiger 2 boasts powerful firepower, using a 137mm APBC shell with fast shell velocity and excellent penetration. Survivability can be increased with the smoke grenade launcher, but obstacles are difficult to remove with the machine gun and anti-air capability is average.
Demonstrates combat strategies using the King Tiger's armor and firepower through actual gameplay. Uses smoke grenades to block the enemy's view, defends the base, and ultimately wins with a nuke attack.
The Tiger 2 delivers powerful performance even at 7.3 BR, and can dominate the battlefield with its excellent armor and firepower. Other German tanks from 5.7~6.7 BR are also recommended.
