Additional Information

By the time of its appearance, in 1942, the German Tiger I was the most powerful and complex tank in the world, it is still considered a military masterpiece of its time. Most of the Tigers I was produced by Henschel. Later versions of the tank began to be produced in January 1944, almost two and a half years after its debut. Many features, such as armor, reaching in some places the thickness of 100 mm, remained unchanged. The changes affected the chassis and the structure of the tower. In addition, it was decided to replace the 8.8 cm kwk36 gun(L/56) with the new KwK43(L/71), which was used on the Royal Tigers, but this plan was not implemented. In Western sources you can often find the statement that one Tiger on the battlefield is equal to five Shermans, the Tiger was one of the most frightening and respected opponents during the Second world war.
