The German tiger tank was not the best in world war two. Correct, it did have a good gun and very think (100mm) frontal armor, though was not sloped. It's gun was quite underpowered, though it could have a good run against matildas and T-34s. It's turret was not driven by a motor and took a very long time to turn around; so was hopeless in counteracting flanking actions. It also had engine difficulties and broke down a lot, as well as being very slow. Better German tanks are things like the panther, with sloped armor and a higher velocity gun.

What is better a panzer tank or a tiger tank?

Trick question. They are the same tank. Panzer manufactured the Tiger. Actually, there was no such tank known as a "panzer" tank. Panzer is a german word meaning "armored vehicle". ALL german tanks were thus "panzer" tanks. The original question could be confusing "panzer" with "panther", which was a specific model of tank. The Panther was a medium-heavy tank, where the Tiger was a true heavy tank. The Tiger came out slightly before the Panther, and thus, was technologically inferior to the Pather in terms of design. It's a bit hard to compare the Tiger to Panther, as they were constructed with different design goals, and were used together for most of the second half of WW2. Alternately, the original question could refer to any one of the "original" German tank models, which were commonly known as "Panzer I" through "Panzer IV", which were abbreviations for their full name: panzerkampfwagon I, II, III, or IV. These were pre-war designs, and significantly inferior to either the Panther or Tiger.
