Its kinda hard to say because both lines kinda differ greatly after tier 6.
Personally, I have played the VK3001P(aka Porsche line) and that Tank is hard to play, think of it as a pre8.0 Panzer 4. In that tank you definitely have to snipe to perform because the armour is weak for its tier. Despite all that, the tanks that comes after the VK3001P are much better in terms of armour protection such as the Tiger P(200 hull armour f*ck yea!)
I have not played the Vk3601H(aka Henschel line) yet but the tanks itself seems to sport good armour than the VK3001P. Ironically, the tanks that come after it such as the historical Tiger 1 does not have the same protection values compare to the Porsche line but the tanks are much more maneuverable. Do note that, you can also switch to Panther line with this route too.
Despite all, consider keeping your Panzer 4 for a while after you get into tier 6 to help you farm creds and free exps.
VK3601H more like multi role tank. If u r top tier, u can play like a heavy, even KV-1 will feel hard to penetrate u.
facing same tier and above heavies, u can act as support tank for ur team heavies, either sit at back of ur team heavy and snipe (88mm gun is accurate at long range), or use ur speed to cut to opponent's side or back to shot from their weaker side. dun worry if ur opponent trying to shot u, coz u draw fire for ur team heavies to deal more damage for ur opponent.
yesterday i drive VK3601, move at back of a M6 and a KV-1s moving all the way to opponent's base. All tanks in front of us turn to wreck in split seconds, each ppl fire 1 shot to them, enough to take them out immediately.
moving forward to Tiger, u also can play at similar style. Tiger have high hp, but the hull is boxy, make it easy to penetrate. if u top tier, no choice, u need to lead the charge, but ur teammate going to follow at ur back, so u will have enough sopport, but u going to become primary target from opponent. if there are other tier 7 heavies, like T29 or IS, u can move together with them
if u r mid or low tier, again act as support, move at back of ur team heavies.
and yes, starting at tier 6 german lines, u will start to lose $$ if u lose battle, so dun sell ur pz4, use that to make money, 88mm ammo cost 254 credit each, that also going to burn ur bank
