Additional Information
Hitler's "Tigers" had heavy armor on all sides (80 to 100 mm), the Soviet "EP," it did not break through even when fired at close range. Our tank 76-mm guns could knock out the "Tiger" only in contact with the side armor. The firepower of the 88mm tiger cannon was such that the tank could fire from a distance of 2,2 thousand meters and hit any armored object. Only with the advent of the Soviet heavy tank "is-2", which had a straightened armor plate, the tankers of the red army had the opportunity to fight with the Nazis on an equal footing. As a whole, until 1943, have "Tiger" in the tank armies of the anti-Hitler coalition had no competitors. Therefore, on the fronts of world war II (Nazi heavy tanks participated in the battles in the Soviet Union, Africa, Italy, and other countries) are often in the tank attack the soldiers of the opposing side there were the so-called "hygrophobia" the fear of the invincibility of the coming "Tigers". Military historians estimate that in General, Hitler's "Tigers" on the fronts of the Second world war destroyed about 10 thousand enemy tanks, while the tank units of the Third Reich lost almost 10 times less units of this heavy military equipment.
