1) Grab a Achilles (open top tank) or Sherman VC Firefly (long white barrel). Once you hear the Tiger is near; you must have the improved AP rounds (not basic). Try to make it half way across the map - or more. Typically you have the best survival rate when being 2/3 across the map; but avoiding getting close to enemy spawn points (i.e. were Panzerfaust minions come back to haunt you after you previously eliminated them)
2) Call out to team members to spot all tanks; if they don't assist directly - specifically request Tiger Tank spotting. Hire some squad members.
3) Learn the call of the Tiger (sound of the gunfire) - to spot the Tiger yourself
4) Locate choke points (any places the Tiger can't see around - and must 'drive around' to see you). Stop the engine (switch to another tank position) often. Listen for the moving tank. Audibly map the Tiger's general position. If you here the Tiger main gun, you know not to go around the corner into unknown territory.
5) Avoid large open spaces which the Tiger can snipe you from afar (never drove a tiger myself, but it's almost as if the Tiger has well magnified gun sites)
6) Wait for the hungry Tiger to come to you... it always happens.
7) Once you have laid wast to the Tiger, advance or pull back from your position. Repeat.
Once you have an advanced position, you must keep quiet. Keep the tank engine off. Find a nice spot to settle in, learn the Tiger's supply/preferred routes. Listen for the Tiger, and let the small fry tanks and infantry pass.
Lol, but the Tiger is not always alone - especially Anubus_Anpu's Tiger. Typically his Tiger likes to hide a good bit behind the rest of the squad... so that I have to take out his panzerfaust minions or companion tanks. Here the VC Firefly is optimal for fast turret speed and rapid re-fire rate. Many a time I have taken out the first 2 or 3 tanks; when only to be popped off by the ever-reclusive Tiger. Thus, when you find a good snipe spot; let the other tanks pass, and keep the engines off - or the Tiger will hear you too.
Anubus's Tiger typically does the same (i.e. we learn by comparison)... He (and other skilled Tiger drivers) rarely travels more than a 100 yards without stopping to listen and look (typically after another has advanced in front of him) - unless retreating . Be patient. Eventually you will hear the Tiger gunfire... You will hear the Tiger engine... and you will know which direction to 'park' your tank and sit quietly around on the other side of the Choke point. All you need is to see the front tracks of the Tiger peeking around, and you are then crowned (with one shot) king of the jungle. Taking out the Tiger doesn't give you the highest points - but the personal rewards of the hunt/chess game are quite worthwhile. IMO - if you have the firefly/achilles - it is your highest calling - to hunt Tigers.
*Some Tiger drivers constantly move, for fear of being taken out by planes. These are the easiest to eradicate, as your still motion tank is harder to see (under cover or distance). Plus, you can hear them, lol.
*Stay to the east on Operation Totalize.
*Stay to the North on Villers Bocage until you cross the river - then stay to the East. If your team takes the destoyed towncenter just outside the German Main Base - and you have someone watching your back to prevent panzerfaust minions - you can severly disable any German armoured Column.
