Player Opinion
Performance
Tiger '59 is a Tier VIII premium cruiser in the British lineup.
The main armament consists of two twin turrets with auto-loading 152mm guns. While Tiger '59 reloads very fast, the low barrel count results in her having a below average dpm. To make matters worse, the arrangement in two turret means that a incapacitated or destroyed turret cuts her damage output in half. Lacking torpedoes means that Tiger '59 has no tool to deal high Alpha damage, forcing her to rely on damage over time via the AP shells. Fortunately, her AP shells come with improved ricochet angles and fuze settings, making her damage output against soft targets like destroyers or superstructures very consistent.
In terms of survivability Tiger '59 is a mixed bag. She features an above water citadel which is largely un-overmatchable, and unlike Edinburgh her hull plating is 25mm, allowing her to ricochet shells up to 356mm and to shatter most destroyer-grade HE shells. Her health pool is the second-lowest of the Tier VIII cruisers, leaving her especially vulnerable to high Alpha strikes like torpedoes or battleship fire. Being a British light cruiser however Tiger '59 comes with the Damage Repair consumable. The improved Specialized Repair Teams ( ) consumables allows Tiger '59 to heal back large amounts of health. Regular penetrating hits can be fully healed, and even citadel hits get repaired by 50%. This makes Tiger '59 very resilient against shellfire when angled, even if she does take large amounts of damage, provided the rate at which the damage taken does not the exceed the rate at which it can be repaired.
The maneuverability of Tiger '59 is second to none compared to her counterparts, with a tight turning circle and improved acceleration. The only downside being the low top speed of only 30kn, Tiger '59 will have to be careful when picking direct confrontations as the ability to gain distance will be hampered especially while maneuvering.
While being a modern ship and the presence of Defensive AA Fire ( )would imply an impressive AA defense, Tiger '59 has little means to deter air strikes.
For the playstyle Tiger '59 should aim at making the most of her advantages while avoiding open 1 vs 1 engagements. Access to the Smoke Generator ( ) and the Surveillance Radar ( ) consumables allows Tiger '59 to break line of sight and temporarily gain vision on targets. Ideally however she uses spotting by her teammates, saving the Surveillance Radar for destroyers. While in a Smoke Screen Tiger '59 must be very careful regarding nearby ships, as she has no means of quickly disposing off a rushing destroyer and the absence of Hydroacoustic Search ( ) makes her vulnerable against torpedoes.
- Smallest health pool of all Tier 8 cruisers
- Second slowest cruiser in its tier spread, only Admiral Graf Spee is slower
- Only four main guns - even with the fast reload, damage output per salvo is low
- Low shell velocity and high shell arcs make hitting targets at range difficult
- Short main battery range
- Like most other British light cruisers, Tiger '59 does not carry HE shells
- No torpedoes or secondary armaments
- Mediocre AA suite, even counting the aid of Defensive AA Fire ( )
- Exposed and poorly protected citadel
Research
As a premium ship, Tiger '59 has no upgrades to research.Optimal Configuration
Tiger '59 lacks the typical radar cruiser ability to be a DD hunter/killer. When she radars a destroyer, her low damage per minute (DPM) makes it difficult to destroy it. Further, the low DPM and lack of hydro makes it difficult to defend against sudden offensive action by the target. Thus, Tiger '59 needs friends. She can find targets, but she needs friends to reliably kill them, and to help defend her.
Build her for Support roles. Beyond improving her radar and concealment, buffing her offensive capabilities won't make much difference. Instead, an Anti-Aircraft build may be the best. No, Tiger '59 doesn't have great AA, but what she has can combine with that of her friends to make her (and them) an uninviting and costly target.

History
Design
Initially, Tiger was laid down as a Swiftsure-class light cruiser, a wartime design meant to increase stability, operational range (via increased fuel capacity) and anti-aircraft defenses versus the preceding Crown Colony (Fiji)-class light cruisers. However, due to strained resources, and other projects receiving higher priority, construction was slow, and as such only the members of the class laid down in 1941 (Swiftsure, Minotaur, Superb) were completed as intended from 1944 to 1945.
The next trio in the class, all laid down in 1942 (Tiger, Lion, Blake) were all launched in 1944/45, but languished after the end of the war, while various ideas were debated in regards to how they should be completed, given the original design was now obsolete. In 1951, the decision was finally reached to complete them as anti-aircraft cruiser, centered around the 6”/50 QF Mark N5 dual-purpose guns. Though dimensionally not much different from the original Swiftsure-class, the Tiger-class cruisers displaced considerably more, by 665 tons at standard load. Overall, machinery and armor protection saw little in the way of change, and endurance and top speed remained largely the same. However, armament changed radically. While the Swiftsure-class embarked a variety of weapon systems – nine 6”/50 Mk.XIII, ten 4” AA guns, 40mm and 20mm AA guns, and a pair of 21” triple torpedo banks - the Tiger-class only carried two gun systems.
Unfortunately, both gun systems had major reliability issues in service, similar to their American counterparts on the Worchester-class. With sufficient maintenance, the 6”/50 QF Mk.N5 was mostly reliable, but this was very intensive and constant maintenance. The 3” guns were of greater concern, as their maximum service rate of fire fell well below the planned 120 rpm, and jams were constant.
The design of Tiger was radically revised when she was rebuilt as a helicopter cruiser in the late 1960s. Her aft 6” mount and the aft 3” mounts were both removed, along with one of the MRS 3 directors, and the rear of the ship rebuilt to accommodate a flight deck and hangar for four helicopters (the Westland Wessex, a license-built version of the Sikorsky H-34). Two Seacat GWS.22 quadruple mounts were fitted aft, providing the ship with anti-aircraft defense in the former of surface-to-air missiles. Guidance was provided, conveniently, by the MRS 3 directors. Alongside the change in armament came an update to the air search and height-finding radars, being replaced with the Type 965M and Type 278 respectively. Thanks to enhanced C3 capabilities (Command, Control & Communication), she was also particularly well suited to acting as a flagship.
Service
HMS Tiger was laid down on 1 October 1941 at the John Brown Shipyard, but due to reduced priority and wartime constraints, was ultimately not launched until after the end of the war, on 25 October 1945. She languished for a decade before serious work on completing her began, so ultimately she did not commission until 18 March 1959 – almost twenty years after being laid down.
Due to the reliability issues present in her armament, much of the initial service life of Tiger was spent on trials, and even after this her operational ability was hampered due to personnel shortages. After a service life of barely seven years, she went into reserve (December 1966), and two years later began her conversion into a helicopter cruiser. This was completed only in 1972, and she recommissioned on 6 May 1972 after running over time and budget by a factor of almost three.
Due to financial constraints on the Royal Navy, especially in the face of the economic downturn of the late 1970s, and the high operating cost of the manpower-intensive vessel, Tiger was not long for the world even after this refit. Though she did take part in the Fleet Review for Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, the year after she was put into reserve and then finally decommissioned on 4 May 1979.
Ordinarily, this would have been the definitive end of the ship, but when the Falklands War erupted in April 1982, the key-to-be-scrapped Tiger got one last chance at life – she was considered suitable to recommission after a brief refit, being still in good material state, and having a desperately needed flight deck. However, with the painful losses to the Argentine and British fleets in May 1982, to submarine and air attack, the Royal Navy halted recommissioning efforts, due to the woeful state of the ship’s armament against modern air threats (the gun systems were already considered obsolete when the ship was commissioned in 1959, and Sea Cat was now twenty years old). When the conflict ended, so did any chance of her recommissioning, and Tiger languished for another four years until sold to a scrapping company in Spain. Work began in October 1986 - forty-five years after she had been first laid down. This was an impressive figure on paper, but ultimately she only spent about fourteen years in commission.
Историческая справка
История лёгких крейсеров типа Tiger весьма запутана. 3 корабля этого типа были заложены в 41-42 годах как крейсеры типа Minotaur. Но не тот Minotaur, который известен игрокам в качестве прокачиваемого крейсера 10 уровня, а тот, который является развитием проекта крейсеров типа Fiji, и также именуется типом Swiftsure.

Как играется?
Сверху к этой роли добавляется РЛС, чья дальность почти равна дальности максимальной маскировки (разница всего 200 метров), что позволяет эффективно отыгрывать противоэсминцевую роль. Правда всё из-за той же специфики ГК, урон по засвеченному эсминцу наносить проблематично, поэтому Тигру нужна кооперация с союзниками в этом вопросе.
Перки командира
Модернизации
1. Основное вооружение мод. 1 — стандартная модернизация в первом слоте
2. Поисковая РЛС мод. 1 / Защита машинного отделения мод. 1 — стандартный выбор между угольной модернизацией и обычной
3. Системы наведения мод. 1 / ПВО мод. 1 — специфика ГК Тигра такова, что уменьшение радиуса рассеивания скорей всего будет нивелироваться точностью стрельбы игрока, поэтому вполне возможно вместо этого усилить весьма дальнобойную ПВО
4. Рулевые машины мод. 1 — т.к. у Тигра ускоренный разгон имеется уже в базовой комплектации, в этом слоте мод на рули безальтернативен
5. Система маскировки мод. 1 — стандартный выбор в пятом слоте
