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.
