Noob needs some help.

Hi,
im new to turn based wargames but did not have a problem until now. I’m totally stuck on mission 6 of the second campaign (not counting the tutorial). Its called Operation Kobra.
I can easily take the two villages and destroy the tank counter-attack. But after that there is a second counter-attack with 4 Tiger-Panzers. No matter how I position my tanks, they take them out as if they are made out of paper. Even with the two reinforcements I get after conquering the villages, I lose all my tanks in 2-3 rounds.
The only way I’m able to destroy the Tiger Tanks is via air support, but its very hard to do because they are moving targets and its not easy to predict, where they will move in their next turn.
Could you give me some advice how to destroy this tanks. What am I doing wrong?

What worked for me was using the 8-17 support on that hill near where the tigers appear to knock out as many of the 88s as possible. Then, keep your tanks out of sight of the tigers. Try to make sure you have two m7 priest 105mm SP guns and use them to lower the morale of the tigers. when the tigers are suppressed or retreat, move your tanks and and try to get shots on their side and rear armor. You just have to be careful about not facing them one and one. I struggled with that map to but patience pays off.
