The Tiger was an incredible tank. The Allies were incredibly lucky the Germans just couldn't build them fast enough.
The tank crew of a Tiger tank typically consisted of five members: the commander, gunner, loader, radio operator, and driver. The commander was responsible for overall decision-making and target selection, while the gunner operated the main armament. The loader was in charge of loading the ammunition, the radio operator maintained communication, and the driver operated and maneuvered the tank. Each crew member played a crucial role in the functioning and effectiveness of the Tiger tank in combat situations.
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.
I asked the question bird brain.
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
Hmmm. The atomic bomb, the German 88 flak gun, and the tiger tank.
how did leonardo da vinci's tank invention affect the world
There was only two tigers, the tiger 1, which was very powerful and armourd but slow. The king tiger, twice the power and armore, but was twice as slow. The Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 had the same top road speed. Go to Wikipedia for more info.
In a tank on tank encounter, I'd want to be in the Tiger.
According to Wikipedia (and other sources), the range of the German Tiger 1 tank was a maximum of 190km.
The Tiger was a German battle tank used by the Nazis in World War II. The first version had the designation Panzer VI (Panzer V was the lighter Panther medium tank).There was a more powerful Tiger, called Tiger II, or Tiger B, which also went into major mass production toward the end of World War II.
the tiger tank was one of the Germans most heavily armoured tanks
The Tiger tank was an enormous, heavily armed vehicle that was popularly used in World War II by both sides. This tank was considered higher quality, as well as easier to produce than other tanks of the times.
Basically, in 1942, the Germans knew they needed a tank to put a fast end to the war, so thye started production on a powerful tank that would be able to destroy any Russian or American tank. The purpose of the tiger tank was for Germany to have the best tank in the world that couldn't be stopped.
Yes. It was the best in the world.
There is only one tank named the Tiger and that's the Panzer 6, the biggest panzer was the Panzer 8 Maus
The German King Tiger Tank - "Panzerkampfwagen VI Konigstiger" aka Panzer VI. http://www.worldwar2aces.com/panzer-tank/kingtiger/
The tiger is six and the king tiger is seven Clarification: both the Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 (King Tiger) are designated Panzerkampfwagen VI (or panzer 6) the tiger 2 being designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.B Tiger II. I'm not sure what a Panzer 7 was.
