German equipment were well engineered designs that usually had close tolderances. This means that any dirt or sand would cause problems with engines and mechanisms. For vehicles and tanks, this meant that it required a lot of work to keep the engines tuned just right and in working condition. Some of the larger tanks, such as the Tiger Tank, had low gas mileage. So fuel became a problem. Also, it was slower than other tanks so it slowed the movement of the unit.
