Does The Sherman Jumbo Beat the Tiger 1 In War Thunder? 

This is quite an interesting comparison as both of these tanks are strong, and both will struggle to kill each other from the front unless you aim precisely. I have a discord community, you can sign up for it through my website here by singing up for my email list: www.seanfickengaming.com

If you face semi-decent players, you will get obliterated in the jumbo, but if you go up against bad players the jumbo is definitely better

Something to note, the 8,8cm on the Tiger H1 have access to the other round Pzgr. with a large enough TNT that is enough to "overpressure". While might not work well extenerally but internally it is a guranteed 1 hit kill. Similar to how HE works but if it penetrates. It does lack a little bit of pen compared to the Pzgr 39. It does have a bit more velocity. The M4A3E2 Jumbo, has STAB. Which makes firing on the move much more easier and aiming to your reticle much faster if it is misaligned due to bumpy terrain. The RoF on the 75mm is pretty fast which makes this lethal in CQC/CQB. IMO, Tiger rules in distance engagement while Jumbo would tear anyone in tight urban combat.

One of my favorite weakspots in nearly the whole game is actually the turret neck of the jumbo, but because of volumetric the tiger's 88 cant hit it, but the panther's 75 can, and its really not that hard to hit at mid-close range. Aim just under the mantlet right underneath gun and the 75 will usually sneak right in. This is a good trick to know about when fighting jumbo players that are hull down or side-straffing you hidding the mg port.

One more thing: The entire perimeter of the jumbos front plate is a weakspot. Even though armor analysis says its like 300-400 effective, just about everything will go through, especially the russian 85

ngl the sherman jumbo gun isnt too bad,it has fast reload and u can just shoot tracks and barrel easily

Great vid! No BS and straight into point

tiger 1 is a better tank, but jumbo has 1 advantage, its idiot-proof

Nice video, I’m a tiger player and my friend is a jumbo player and I’m going to share this with him.

The last while Panthers have been knocking me out whilst playing the jumbo by shooting the gun mantlet and turret ring. I don't remember this happening 2 years ago

Reminder than the Panther has a cupola of 100mm meaning it is completely impossible to penetrate it frontally at close range without apcr. Not to mention and other german heavy you might encounter. Meanwhile the Tiger 1 can easily kill US 6.7 with LFP shots, MG ports, and the massive cupolas on the T28. With the unlocked APHE shell it literally overpressures after penetration, so guaranteed one shots even on light vehicles since the fuze sensitivity is also way more sensitive.

Good comparison thx

If you experience the jumbo as France, things change a lot, many light tanks from 5.0 to 6.3 have the same penetration of 104mm, this forces you to have to study all possible weakspots in the long run and know how to fight and disable enemy tanks. Most of the times i played it on a support role or even surprising the enemies with a good flank, no one expects a jumbo flanking

If you also compared the jumbo 76 to the tiger the tiger still hold it's place the only advantage the 76 have is the quick firing firing gun after that the angled tiger still the worst tank to face at 5.7

Biggest problem with this jumbo is that its always 6.0 which makes compensating for a very short barrel a chore

you demonstrated with the 76 mm cannon that the tiger is hard to pen angled, but the jumbo only has the 75 mm, for which the apcr has less pen the aphe of the 76 mm, which is about 190

0:17 the Sturmtiger shell 💀☠️💀☠️

I take the tiger any day, i have both and the Tiger is just better because of the gun can actually do something unlike the jumbo and it's non pen which happens often.

I don't know if I would say the Jumbo is beginner friendlier. You stay longer in the game because of your armour but the gun really holds you back and I feel like everybody knows the hull weak spot. Just keeping to long range in your Tiger if you haven't figured out angeling yet still works very well and worked way better for me when I started playing Warthunder. The Jumbo might actually stats-wise be one of my worst tanks.

dont forget my this sentence there is a no bad or no good tank there is a good player or bad player thats the point. same in the planes

If you're in a jumbo(75) make sure to keep your front to the enemy and be careful when going around corners because the lower side armor that's behind the tracks is weak as hell.

I feel like you must take into account reload speed and the Stabilizer too. with those, I feel as the Jumbo would come out on top, as it can shoot on the move and doesn't need to stop to get its armor situated or its gun working. Also German Mains are notoriously tunnel vision, and suck as teammates.

Morgan Freeman Voice - “this all changes with the Sherman Jumbo 76mm”

In my opinion the tiger is more beginner friendly. One of the hardest things in the game to learn is armor weak spots. When you have a good gun, you don’t have to learn as much.

Something being overlooked is the maps we play on. Far in a way they cater to CQC playstyles because most maps are urban for whatever reason. Typical range of engagement is less than 300 meters. Reaction time matters. That equates to turret rotation speed, acceleration, and rof. I firmly believe thats why german players struggle against tanks they should theoretically beat on average. Mobility in conjunction with map knowledge is the meta of war thunder. Its why i can take a puma into 6.7 battles and consistently outplay most of my german comrades

Tiger h1: excelent heavy great in any scenario Jumbo 75: Dumb proof

I have tiger E and ive been playing germany for almost a thousand hrs and i just and then wiggle my turret after shooting at a jumbo and they will have a hard time hitting the gun and penning me

Jumbo should be 5.3. You'll the tigers and panthers plus other heavy hitting tanks still, and you won't be sucked up to 6.7 almost every game and be useless.

Tigers when they angle 0.0000000001% are immune to even the US 76mm with how gayjin logic works these days

I’m assuming this entire discussion if for realistic because in arcade it’s a joke how much better the jumbo is

As the players get better, the mobility is more important than the armor.

As a Geman I love your name😂

The KwK&Pak 42 can pen jumbo front armor

You can angle with a jumbo and tiger💀

Is there any website to do this? I only have war thunder mobile

I prefer the Jumbo for my playstyle. I don't like how easy it is to destroy Tigers. While the Jumbo is not a KV1, you can harass the enemy a lot better imo

Somehow i still think its bs that the Panther D is 5.3 when these tanks are 6.0

you also have to remember the fact that German teammates

As a USA main that got bored of the 8.3 grind, this was nice to see. I'm about to get the Tiger 1, and I don't think there is anything scarier than a USA main playing Germany.

The jumbo is better but as soon as the tiger angles it’s over

You can still angle it and hide all the weakspots on the Jumbo. I do not Fear Tiger H1 The only one I'm careful about is the Tiger II P

everyone knows it's IS-1 (Im suffering of being uptiered by Tiger 2 and T34 heavy)

If you know your shots the jumbo slaps (i also have no life so i put bushes everywhere to make it look like a sherman)

Tiger is better, but Jumbo is more fun. And games are supposed to be fun. Jumbo ftw

So why did the Sherman jumbo did not saw battle in Korean war?

I love the jumbo, but it falls victim to American heavy tank syndrome. That being situationally good armor, ok mobility, and a gun that’s barely competitive in a down-tier. t29 t30 and t34 being exceptions in firepower, but even they need to hull-down to survive anything at their BR range.

I’ll take the jumbo both jumbo

76 jumbo would be better to be compared to, I know it’s not the same br as the tiger but it would have been if german mains weren’t so dumb

Dude you should become a Austrian Citizen and run for presidency.

Its the jumbo

how can u compare a tank from 1942 with a tank from 1944???

In most situations, you'd want to be in the jumber, sure you can't snipe but like, they can't pen you either, and in CQC you obliterate everything because of your stabiliser, Jumbo > Tiger H1 simply because of the stabiliser Anywho, IS1 and T-34-85>>>>

tiger is better in almost every way

Nah IS-1 on top.

A good tiger 1 player will usually beat a good jumbo player, the armor and firepower difference are so massive it's not even a competition. The tiger can angle the jumbo cant without exposing weakpoints. The only problem for german mains is that they are so stupid that it's not even worth playing the tiger.

IS-1
