US Army Patton tanks did not serve in WWII. The first Patton was the M46 (an improved M26 Pershing) which was fielded in Korea during that war. The second Patton was the M47, which saw no combat with US forces. It was primarily used in films, such as the "Battle of the Bulge" starring Henry Fonda and Robert Shaw, and played the role of the Tiger tank; US forces were using the M24 Chaffee light tank against the M47 Pattons in the movie. The last Patton was the M48, which saw extensive combat with the USMC and US Army during the Vietnam War. All three Pattons carried the 90mm main gun, and all three were classified as medium gun tanks.
The Vietnam era M48A3 Patton could knock out a WWII German Tiger tank (which was armed with an 88mm main gun). The "A3" M48 meant it had a 12 cylinder, V8, 750 hp diesel engine.
Note-the proper term for destroying an enemy tank is "knocking it out"; even though everyone uses the term "destroy." No tank is ever destroyed in a tank engagement unless it is literally turned into scrap metal...and only an air strike (or a battleship's 16" shell) can totally destroy a tank. Otherwise, those "destroyed" tanks are nearly always towed back to depot and REBUILT! Hence, they were never destroyed...just knocked out of action.

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.

Probably the best tanks built during WWII were the German Panzerkampfwagen Tiger tanks, Panzer IV, and the Panther. The Soviet T-34 was a very formable tank against the Germans so the Tigers were built. T-34, Tiger 1, Tiger 2, Panzer IV, and Panther to name five. British Cruiser MK VI Crusader
What preparation was needed for d-day landing 1944 to take place?
Exercise Tiger is a good example where nearly a thousand US GIs were lost in preparation for D-Day when a convoy was ambushed by German E boats off the Devon coast. A good book by Ken Small, The Forgotten Dead, tells of the recovery of a Sherman tank from the sea bed which is now a war memorial on Slapton Sands, South Devon. Another feature was the disinformation of FUSAG, the mythical First US Army Group, nominally commanded by Patton, which didn't exist.
