SD:Tiger E

 is a German heavy tank and the predecessor to the Tiger II. It is one of the most iconic vehicles of the Second World War and symbolises the "bigger & better" doctrine pursued by Nazi-Germany in tank design and other areas. While it was over-engineered, fuel-hungry, expensive, difficult to maintain and presented many logistical difficulties, the Tiger was a fearsome sight to behold on the battlefield, as it sported a powerful gun capable of defeating all Allied armour and was clad in 3.9 inches of frontal armour.

Orders of battle
101st Heavy SS Panzer Battalion supported 12. SS-Panzer and 1. SS-Panzer as a I SS Panzer Corps asset.

316. Funklenk-Panzerkompanie was attached to Panzer-Lehr. 316. Funklenk-Panzerkompanie  was equipped with 10 Tiger I.

During the Defense of  Ecouves Forrest, 9. Panzer was supported by Tigers while fighting against 2e Blindée.

Elements of various divisions found themselves in Paris when General der Infanterie Dietrich von Choltitz took command of the Paris Garrison fell on his authority.

Strategy
The Tiger is available to the Panzer-Lehr and 12. SS-Panzer in phase B and complements their already potent tank arsenal. It sports a very accurate and powerful gun, though its slightly disappointing armour stats might confound some players at first sight. However, the Tiger is manned by very experienced crews and comes available with two stars, making it a deadly foe that will have no problem hitting enemy armour fast and hard. Its gun is more than capable of destroying both soft and hard targets.

Its 12 frontal armour gives it adequate protection against 75mm-armed shermans and 6-pdrs, but the more heavy Allied anti-tank guns will present a threat to the Tiger. Its sides and rear armour are also quite armoured for a tank, making flanking attacks slightly less effective.

As a note, always pair it with a commander unit, to bring its veterancy to max and further improve its lethality.
