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.
Most decorated German of World War 2?
A Tiger tank commander who destroyed dozens of American and british tanks and almost a hundred Russian T/34
What are the top 10 tanks of world war 2 and why?
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
How many tiger tanks were there during the 2nd world war?
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.
What was the best tank in world war 2?
The Sherman tank. Unfortunately, it was smaller and less heavily armed than the German Tiger tank and would be easily defeated in a frontal assault. However, US tankers learned to ambush the Tiger and maneuver around to the side and back which was less heavily armored and destroy them that way.
