The JigTiger 8.8 is a tier 8 German Tank destroyer aka The Shredder. This tank excels in long rage engagements and support role. When playing this tank, asses the situation first ask yourself where are the best sniping spots? Can I get there in time? Where is the main force going? Do they need support? Do I defend a flank? Once you decided on your course of action your pretty much committed to that plan of action.

Snipe and support NEVER EVER BRAWL! Have front line tanks light up incoming tank and make short work on those tanks using your high ROF, don’t be shy to track tanks for arty or allies and once the tank is tracked by the JigTiger88 it is nearly impossible to get away, with the 4.5 second reload, you will permanently track the target. Avoid staying on a flank alone this tank is easily flanked due to its low traverse speed. Hide your lower glacis using rubble or terrain or even the wreckage of other tanks.

Credit income on this tank on a good game is around 80-110k on a bad game 60-80k. The JT88 is a fearsome tank on the battlefield but takes a skilled tanker to use it to its full potential. Highly recommended for German TD commanders.
