Did the King Tiger or Tiger 1 tank score more hits?
The Panzerkampwagen VIa (Tiger 1) scored more hits because more of them were built and were in production earlier.Addition by Fantacmet.Production of the Tiger I, ran from August 1942 until August 1944. During that time 1376 Tigers were ordered and 1350 were delivered. The highest monthly output was April of 1944 at 104 Tanks produced that month. This number does not include variations such as the SturmTiger which used the same chassis but with a 380MM Rocket launcher instead of the 88mm Gun. This number also does not include tha JagdTiger which was armed with a 128mm Gun.As for the Tiger II, there were only 489 of these built. Now I cannot confirm but I believe this number ONLY applies to the Tiger II's with the Henschel turret. There were earlier examples of these with Porche turrests because the Henchels were not yet available or some other political reason. There were less then 100 Porche turrent Tiger II's completed if memory serves correctly. Considering the number of Panzer Aces commanding Panzer VI's as opposed to the number commanding Panzer VI II's(Tiger and Tiger II respectively), I would say the afformentioned answer is going to be highly likely. The Panzer Aces commanding Tiger I's had an incredable kill ratio. Especially the infamous Michael Whittman.Information gleaned from "The Tiger I & Tiger II Profile by Schiffer Military History."ANSWER:In Agreement with the above it also has to be pointed out that the Tiger I also was involved in more Major battles than the King Tiger. Kill rate per tank was also higher with the Tiger I

What is better a panzer tank or a tiger tank?
The comparison between a Panzer tank and a Tiger tank depends on various factors such as the context of their use, the specific model, and the tactical requirements of a given situation. Here's a brief overview of each: Panzer Tank: Panzer tanks were widely used by the German military throughout World War II and were known for their reliability, versatility, and relatively lower production costs compared to more advanced tanks like the Tiger. They played a significant role in various campaigns and battles, offering mobility and firepower to German armored units. Tiger Tank: The Tiger tank, specifically the Tiger I, was a heavy tank used by the German army during World War II. It was renowned for its formidable armor, powerful 88mm gun, and heavy firepower, making it a feared opponent on the battlefield. However, Tiger tanks were also more expensive to produce and maintain compared to other tanks like the Panzer IV. While the Tiger tank offered superior firepower and protection, its weight and mechanical complexity sometimes led to mobility issues, especially in challenging terrain. In summary, the choice between a Panzer tank and a Tiger tank would depend on factors such as the specific requirements of a mission, the availability of resources, and the strategic objectives of the military command. Both types of tanks had their strengths and weaknesses, and each played a significant role in the German armored forces during World War II. We have made a video about the Panzer IV tank, which can be seen on our YouTube channel @FunkyHistory

Germany's main battle tank in World War 2?
It was an evolutionary process. Against Poland and in Africa it was the Panzer I and Panzer II which were in essence light tanks that lacked adquate punch to take out hard targets. By the time Operation Barbarosa against the Soviet Union began the Panzer III was the main battle tank but it was hopelessly outclassed by the T-34. The Panzer IV designed as a support tank became by default the Main Battle tank. By the time the Battle of the Bulge began it was the Tiger Tank that was the superman of the battlefield. The King Tiger was available in small numbers but far to heavy for most existing bridges.
