The G.W. Tiger is a German tier 9 self-propelled gun.

Development of an SPG on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. VIB Tiger II started in 1942. The project called for designing a common self-propelled gun carriage for the 17 cm Kanone 72 gun and 21 cm Mörser 18/1 howitzer. The concept of the SPG allowed the use of artillery systems from both the carriage and the ground. Work on building an experimental prototype began in 1945.

With its largest gun, this massive artillery hits for roughly 1,100 damage, but fires at only 1.49 rounds/min. Due to its large damage output, the GW Tiger is one of the most feared artillery on the field. Following the tradition of the other German artillery, the GW Tiger is fairly mobile (although noticeably less so than the Hummel or G.W. Panther) for its size and is capable of speeds of up to 45 km/h.

The G.W. Tiger leads to the G.W. E 100.

Performance :

The GW Tiger has the most powerful gun of any tier 9 artillery, but also the worst mobility of them. It can hit anything hard, but has difficulty relocating around the map to get different angles. It has a decent vertical shell arc, but its narrow horizontal gun traverse forces you to traverse the chassis to switch targets often, resetting your aim. It's lack of gun depression along with its low mobility and narrow gun arc hinders its ability in TD mode, limiting it to ambush situations. It is generally considered inferior to the M53/55, which has higher mobility and better horizontal gun arc for only slightly less splash and alpha.


Early Research|:
You should immediately mount the top gun, which is lighter than the stock gun and should be researched from the G.W. Tiger P.
Research the suspension next, then get the upgraded engine.
then research the radio.
