This shell, however, will almost always over-penetrate all but the most armoured SPAA vehicles, so it is best to use HE or machine gun fire on thin-skinned vehicles. All other medium and light tanks will be history as soon as this shell make contact with them. Heavier tanks like the IS-1, IS-2, or American heavy tanks are able to resist the round at longer ranges, but well-placed shots from close range or sides will do the job. It will do incredible damage to any tank shot by it, except SPAA, or any extremely thin armoured vehicles.

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 like 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.

Turret side (about 1/3) is covered by attached tracks, adding additional 30 mm of armour.

Turret front covered by gun mantlet has variable thickness depending on exact place, ranging from 90 to 200 mm of armour.
