A tanker had two choices if they saw a Tiger. Unless they out numbered the Tiger more the 6 to 1; Runaway!

Two other good choices; first:

Foxtrot Shooter 28 THIS IS Foxtrot Treadhead63, IMMEDIATE SUPPRESSION, GRID NK453215, OVER. TIGER TANK IN TREE COVER. FIRE FOR EFFECT. [now wait about 30, 40 seconds.....]

Other choice, if Division [or Battalion] Artillery is busy, and you're lucky enough to have your bestest friend ever happen to be in the neighborhood:

"Treadhead 63 This is Grasshopper Rosie Six inbound your location. I say again inbound your location will arrive in 2 minutes mark target over.

Grasshopper Rosie Six, this is Treadhead 63, roger, marking target identify smoke Over" Six-three this is Romeo Six I see yellow smoke I say again I identify yellow smoke, can you mark him with some willy pete over?

Romeo Six this is Six-three yellow smoke, afffirmative, target is east, I say again east of yellow smoke, watchg for white willy pete....

BAM! Clang! BAM! Clang!

Six-three, this is Rosie, On the Way, firing six. Watch for strikes, call my misses.

[Yep, there are a couple of things off in this dialogue. But you get the picture.] Speaking of pictures:

Unless it is a direct hit or really close(flip over)I don’t think artillery is going to take out a Tiger.
