Russian t-34 because their attack and speed was better but the tiger tank was slow and their attack was almost the same as Russian the tiger tank had better armor
Tiger tanks: 1,200+ King tiger tanks: 497
Only to a certain amount but it does Varies on what Tank it is, How much Armor it has got and where. All Tanks should usually take normal gun bullets but when it omes to tcank shells, it only takes a certain bullet depending on the tank to destroy another tank. e.g. During WW2, The Soviets built the IS-1 Tank to defeat the German Panther and Tiger Tank, which the IS-1 had a 122mm, It was just capable to destroy the German Tiger Tank but required few direct blank shot hits due it's 120mm Armor. So as a response to the IS-1, The Germans brought out the King Tiger Tank which it had at best of 180MM of Armor. The King Tiger had 88mm Highly Explosive Gun. So Tanks are only bullet proof if the ammo hitting the tank doesn't damage or most importantly penetrate the Tank Armor.
THE KING TIGER TANKS MAIN BATTLE WAS THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
Panzer=Armor=tanks. Automobile makers generally produce tanks.
nsma,dnad
Only about 1,300 Tiger tanks were manufactured. In contrast the US built 88,000 Sherman tanks, and relied on vast numerical superiority to offset the tremendous qualitative edge enjoyed by the Tiger and Panther tanks of Germany.
There are a few tigers in Europe, and at least 2 working tiger tanks in America. May I suggest to try to type in restored Tiger tanks in Google? Videos of the tank in action will come up.
In WW 1, the armor on tanks was not THAT thick, and a heavy machine gun with armor piercing ammuntion COULD disable a tank. They were NOT invulnerable.
yes they are possibly the most powerful tanks of all time
No. Tigers had slightly thicker armor and were faster. The Stalin had a larger gun, but the King tiger could penetrate the Stalin's armor. Plus, King tigers had a capacity in their turret for fifty more rounds than th Stalin.
When you put the armor at an angle, the thickness is increased due to the fact that it is sloped as opposed to plumb.
