Defeating the Tigers? I can say it is much easier than defeating a force of Pz-IVs bought for the same price. Because the Tigers are much fewer so they can a) cover the frontline, but not each other or b) cover each other, but not the frontline. In a) case, you can take them one-by-one with flanking and infantry and antitank guns, in the latter case you should bypass them and force them to move within the artillery barrage.
The ultimate weapon is .50cal Browning M2HB:) it will suppress and you have even the chance to immobilize the Tiger with it - try to play the "Tragic Stand" scneario to handle the Tigers properly, they were easier to kill than those Pz-IVs and I+ve took out two Tiger Is and one KT by immobilizing them with the 75mm guns and/or .50 machineguns.
I'm now playing two PBEMs with my classmate and his brother... the first one bought quite balanced force but he forgot to check whether he is buying AT tanks, so he now has a lot of Jumbos with 75mm against my T-34s (I keep infantry close to tanks as the escort), the second one bought few Jag- and Koenigstigers and now he is being fried with side shots from my 85mm AAA, 76mm and 57mm ATGs and aircrafts...
