I agree the tiger can be tricky to field in time in 1v1. I prefer just lots of P4s, which allows you to use a doctrine with more useful abilities.
Spotting scopes can really make your life easier keeping tanks alive and also doing damage from a greater range (kiting). You can try the elifant doc, just dont use the eli. stuka bomb can be useful if you can catch a team weapon or capping squad unaware.
I also find soviet to be easier, I feel their playstyle of swarming the map and out capping/ surrounding the enemy to be more intuitive than being on the defensive as Werh.
