Morph the Reason's the russians hated the Tiger was because 1. you are on a Flat Steppe (Russian word for Low Land), 2 those Damn 88mm's shoot from outside your T34's Range, 3 Even if you do get in Range to Kill it your going to havbe to compete with the tiger Formation so it really isn't possible to come out alive unless you overwhelm. The Reason Tigers were so tough in WW2 as for All German Panzer, was because the German Panzer Formation Almost guarnteed you'd Survive.
The Tiger on the Western Front was effective, but not to the extent on the Eastern Front. Ex. is Micheal Whitmann a SS Panzer Lieutant. His formation of 5 Tigers Cut off a line of British GV's. Whitmann Destroy something like 40 tanks and GV's in under an Hour, the British were utterly hopeless because they were stuck on a road with no way out. He Kills a Few hours later, when a Firefly i thing Jumped him while he was going through the town to look for stragglers.
My point you need a formation of Tigers to be Effective.
