No, the turret of the Tiger tank was not electrically operated. It utilized a hydraulic system for the elevation and traverse of the gun. The design focused on mechanical operations, which were more reliable at the time compared to electrical systems. This hydraulic mechanism allowed for effective movement of the turret in combat situations.
On almost all tanks, the turret swivels. (The Swedish S-tank did not have a turret.) There are a few tanks with swiveling commander's cupolas.

The exact number of Tiger I and Tiger II tanks destroyed in combat during World War II varies by source, but estimates suggest that around 1,500 Tiger I tanks were produced, with approximately 300 to 400 lost in battle. The Tiger II, or King Tiger, had about 492 units produced, with estimates indicating that around 200 to 300 were destroyed in combat. Overall, the heavy losses reflect the intense combat engagements faced by these tanks, despite their formidable reputation.
