When compared to the VK 36.01 H, the Tiger 131 boasts more consistent armor on all surfaces. However, one thing to keep in mind is the flat frontal armor will require proper angling to avoid being penetrated. The side armor should allow the Tiger 131 to side-scrape with relative effectiveness, especially when at top-tier or facing tanks of the same tier.

Novice World of Tanks players will find the Tiger 131 an easy tank to use. However, a veteran will be able to take the Tiger to the next level and turn it into one of the best tanks to earn credits in World of Tanks thanks to the relatively low resupply costs.
In contrast to other Heavy tanks at Tier 6, the Tiger 131 has a low profile, making it a difficult target for the enemy to hit. Exploitation of this low height and high speeds can be used to move between hills or zip through city alleys quickly.
Overall, the Tiger 131 is an excellent entry for the German nation, but it does suffer from some poorly angled armor. Tankers will need to decide which section of the armor to utilize or alternatively, lean into the tank’s speed and damage. How do you like the look of the Tiger 131?
