The Tiger I was a heavy tank used by Nazi Germany during WW2. It was in both East and West, with its first combat against the Western Allies occurring in Tunisia. The Tiger tank received a legendary reputation, being a feared weapon on the battlefield.
Production of the Tiger 1 was eventually switched in favor of the Tiger II King Tiger.
Sniper Elite[]
The Tiger tank is a common German Tank which appears in the first few missions. The tank will fire at the player with its main gun and will sometimes attack Russian soldiers. The Tiger is then replaced by the King Tiger in later levels.
Sniper Elite V2[]
The Tiger tank first appears in the mission Prologue were after the player kills Hans von Eisenberg he will need to flee from German soldiers and a Tiger tank. The Tiger Tank later appears in Schönberg Convoy and St. Olibartus Church but it will diminish in favor of the Russian IS-2. The Tiger appears for the last time in Brandenburg Gate where it is seen driving away.
A Tiger also appears is Assassinate the Führer as a last bit of protection before Hitler boards his private train and escapes. Another appears in The Landwehr Canal after the German officers are killed.
The Tiger tank can easily be defeated by shooting the caps of the fuel tanks next to the air filters,Tigers can also be destroyed with Dynamite, and Panzerfausts, mines wont destroy the Tiger but it will destroy the tracks stopping them from moving.
Sniper Elite III: Afrika[]
The Tiger returns in Sniper Elite III where it appears in the ending cutscene of the mission "Siege of Tobruk", between two Panzer III tanks. A division of Tiger tanks is defending the Kasserine Pass, where General Vahlen's office was located. Karl duels one of those Tigers after it blasts Brauer on top of a tower. A destroyed Tiger Tank can be found in the Multiplayer Map "Rat Run".
The Tiger in this game is much stronger and must be destroyed by shooting at its engine, however there is a thick armor plating on the back so it will take more than one shot to kill it, it also has a small MG34 machine gun in the front which can fire at the player, the player could also use mines to blow out the tracks and render the tank immobile.
Sniper Elite 4: Italia[]
The Tiger makes a brief appearance in Sniper Elite 4 where it appears in the beginning cutscene of the DLC mission Deathstorm Part 1: Inception where two Tigers can be seen fighting off American Sherman Tanks and soldiers in Italy 1944.
Sniper Elite 5: France[]
Diagrams of the Tiger I can be found in some missions, and a film showing the tank can be seen in Festung Guernsey. The Tiger I doesn't appear in Sniper Elite 5, instead the more heavily armored Tiger II appears.
