Cat Family Reunion - Tiger 1 with Leopard 1 & Leopard 2

#Tiger1tank #Leopard1tank #Leopard2tank #Tiger1tankmeetsLeopard1andLeopard2
The Tank Museum at Bovington, UK held their 9th Tiger Day tank running event on Saturday 28th April 2018.
Their Tiger 1 tank, unit coded 131, was on display in the main tank hall of the museum from where it was started up and moved out into the Kuwait arena, where it was driven around in front of the large crowd.
As well as a number of other tanks that were also on show in the arena, the Tank Museums own Canadian Leopard C2 tank - an export version of the Leopard 1 - and a Dutch Leopard 2A4 were also on show and put through their paces next to the Tiger tank.
The Dutch Leopard 2A4 is one of only 2 that have been retained in Holland as working museum vehicles, following their retirement from Dutch Army service and the sale of the remaining Dutch Leopard 2A4s to Finland. The Dutch Army have since reformed a single tank unit and are now equipped with more advanced Leopard 2A5 and 2A6 tanks that they lease from Germany.
The Tiger 1 tank is officially designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 1 Ausf.E (SdKfz 181).
1354 Tiger 1 tanks were made between 1942 and 1944. Of these only 6 that are substantially intact survive and this Tiger 1 is the only one that is currently in running order.
The Tank Museums Tiger1, known as 'Tiger 131', was captured by the British Army, during an action against German Africa Corps troops and tanks at Gueriat el Atach, Tunisia (known as Point 174), during an attack there by 2nd Battalion The Sherwood Foresters on 24 April 1943.
The Tiger, although only lightly damaged, was disabled by a lucky 6 pounder round shot from the main gun of a British Churchill Tank from 48th Royal Tank Regiment, which was supporting the Sherwood Foresters from some way behind, the shell becoming lodged in the Tiger tanks turret ring preventing it from operating. The Tiger was abandoned by its crew, who fortunately failed to ignite the demolition charge that was carried in all Tiger tanks.

​@@thewomble1509 Not really. the Tiger didnt fail. it was just naturally replaced with the Tiger 2 due to new demands. But yes, it was ineffective to produce compared to the Panther and Tiger 2, but the German industry was better geared in 43-44 than it was in 42-43. So some of it is down to industry effectiveness that never reached the US, UK or Sovjet efficiency. But the Tiger 1 had more than a year of almost uncontested fighting. It was a Heavy break through tank and only build in small numbers. And where it was deployed it wrecked massive havoc from 42-43. A whole year in a 6 year war is massive advantage and makes up for all the flaws it had.

[@sirmoke9646]

Nope and double nope. It was designed as a heavy break trough tank pushed into the general battle tank role due to necessity. The allies didn't counter a single threat, they realized that "oh shit tank design is really accelerating we need better stuff NOW" just like every other participant of WW2.

[@roninkraut6873]

Secure White Existence I agree. Others say the Panther but you’re right on with your assessment. Look at all MBTs now and they are all heavily armored and armed and weigh in the same ballpark as the Tiger.

[@ItsATrap614]

@Secure White Existence It's role was not anti air. It had a MG34 for self defence, whose 7.92 mauser ammunition was not very effective against contemporary fighters and fighter-bombers.

[@ItsATrap614]

I'd argue medium tanks like the Sherman, PzIV and T34 were actually the grandfathers of the MBT's. A good, balanced mix of armor, firepower and mobility. Versatility, reliability and commonality. In the 50's tank development reached a point where armor advances couldn't keep up with the advances in ammunition. Armor plates rapidly became obsolete, instead designers went in the direction of mobility to avoid being hit altogether. This is also the time where the traditional heavy tanks like the IS-series went out of favor while the medium tanks of the day (T54/55 to keep with my Russian example) slotted into the MBT role and were further developed in this direction.

[@ItsATrap614]

@Secure White Existence They weren't intended to when they entered service. Like I mentioned, the medium tank only really evolved into the MBT in the 50's with the rise of ATGM and discarding sabot, which made heavy tanks obsolete in an instant. Still, even in WW2 there's a very clear change for the medium tank across the board, later versions of which were all fitted with long-barrel high velocity guns to better be able to deal with enemy armor. Because even if they weren't originally intended to, they still ended up in tank on tank combat sometimes. Also, it should be noted that even today an MBT's main role isn't engaging enemy tanks, it's main role is still punching holes and exploiting them. Taking out the enemy's tanks by way of air, artillery or infantry using ATGM's is often much more (cost) effective than entering a slugging match. However this doesn't mean a tank shouldn't be equiped to deal with other tanks and do it well.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

Since everybody else is giving an opinion of the Tiger, I might as well contribute: The Tiger is a good tank with a few caveats. It had a powerful gun and good armour, so of course it was a formidable opponent against any other tank on the battlefield, but with its high fuel consumption, mechanical issues and slow traversing, the Tiger was not good on the offensive.

[@nagmashot]

the Tiger had not more reliablity issues than other ww2 tank...in fact it was much more reliable than the russian T-34 which was other than propaganda claimed a pack full of failures on tracks... engine lifetime often ends after 30hours of use... the ammount of tanks that left the factory without any major issue was at 8% at war begin and improved to 25% by war end...means 75% of all T-34 left factory with a major failure that needed to be fixed by field mechanics befor it could run into battle... and btw... two T-34 already consume more than one Tiger... and need twice the number of crew and are not equal as good. Germanys biggest handicap was the constant lack of fuel ...Germany lost most of its tanks because they run out of fuel... not because of enemy action or mechanical failure... btw the most unreliable tanks of ww2 were all british used during the africa campain were many broke down befor they emptyed their first tank of fuel

With a Staffellaufwerk there was no need to unscrew the outer wheels for train transport and getting access to the inner wheels was less time consuming. Allied after war reports claimed something different ... in a frensh report they claimed the German maintenance units did magic to keep the Panther tsnks rolling taken into account under what conditions they had to work...and no there was nothing a field shop could not repair...expect a totaly destroyed tank... replacing a transmission engine gun optics radio etc. was their daily bussiness

A bit of water pressure washing will see that nice and clean again. That roadway is very resilient as it has to resist a lot of tanks, some of which are far heavier than a Tiger 1 - solid reinforced concrete. If that was tarmac it would be a different story!👍🙃

There's a King Tiger in this museum and a second was also on loan and display there recently and may still be there. They used the Maybach engine from the museum's one to run this Tiger 1. I'm guessing that one day they'll also run their King Tiger. There's a working King Tiger at a museum in France. A UK collector also has a project to rebuild one in running condition from recovered parts. There is at least one other restoration to running order project and a number of others in museums.

@Oliver Viehland Hmmm,.. alot of people insisting that the Tiger tank has this weak drivetrain. Yet,..it didn't break , did it ? Also , isn't the gearbox an automatic ? Also, where did you learn to drive a Tiger tank ? I mean , I drive trucks and I used to drive APC (439) when I was in the army, way back when, so I guess you could say I'm a professional driver with a little experience on tracked vehicles, and I wouldn't go criticizing this guys performance. Not that I've ever driven an actual tank or anything , I've never touched a chieftain or a challenger for instance. So it does seem a bit strange you telling everyone how to drive a tiger tank, to me at least..

Conducir un TIGER era todo un agrado segun comentarios de especialistas en temas historicos ya que los carros alemanes a partir de 1941 ya ESTABAN EQUIPADOS CON TRANSMISIONES AUTOMATICAS HIDROESTATICAS , ademas que se elimino ese sistema de palancas para la direccion a cambio de un semivolante tipo medialuna muy similar a los sistemas de conduccion de algunos cargadores frontales modernos de direccion articulada . Debio ser una gran novedad para quienes capturaron este tipo de maquinas especialmente los rusos ya que su famoso T 34 estaba equipado con un sistema de palancas y su suspension a base de barras de torsion tenian la desagradable tendencia a transmitir las vibraciones a las palancas del conductor , ademas una transmision manual sin sincronizar que era irritante . No es novedad que los modelos rusos posteriores llevaran este tipo de transmision copiado a los alemanes pero tambien con los defectos propios de la ingenieria inversa mal hecha.....saludos

You can imagine, taking into account the similar size of the Tiger to the modern main battle tanks, that back in 1945, these things were absolute monsters. Terrifying. To be able to just shrug off several direct hits and yet blast apart anything with only one 88mm shot.. This thing must have been a BIG problem.

[@aidaholloway4994]

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to me the Tiger tank is more of a tank destroyer to me rather than an actual tank, fact is that the Tigers' 8.8cm gun was proven to be an effective anti-tank gun during the earlier stages of the war, most notably in the north Africa campaign, however in the invasion of the Soviet Union the deployment of the KV1 caused uncertainty in the command of the as hitherto militarily unmatched German army, as the only gun capable of knocking out this new tank was the 8.8cm flak gun (remember this was 1942, before the Tiger was put in service) so they had to use the flak guns on their own, only trouble is these guns original purpose was for the anti-aircraft role and so weren't designed to be used to engage in tank combat meaning the Russian tanks could so to speak run rings around them. The German army knew they needed a way to neutralise the KV1 and knew the only way was to mobilize the 8.8cm flak gun, thus the Tiger 1 was created, this reason for the creation of the Tiger supports my opinion of it being a tank destroyer, and it's not just that, the way it is armoured also reflects that, now people bang on about the 100mm thick frontal armour of the Tiger as if the whole tank was wrapped entirely in the stuff, however the Tigers' side and rear armour was only 80mm thick, this resembles that of a tank destroyers armour layout and on the whole was adequate for the ranges the Tiger was expected to be engaging it's targets at. This long range engagement could also be another reason for the slower turret traverse, as the point of engagement expands further from the point of rotation the less movement a turret has to perform to acquire a new target, and being slower also allows for smoother sighting at those longer ranges, however this slow turret traverse can cause issues with flanking attacks but with proper radio communications and coordination with medium tanks and ground troops you can defend a position quite well from ground attack. Overall the Tiger, as an tank destroyer worked very well in the mid war period, it's armament was effective at neutralising any allied tank developed before it and in most cases after it, but it could never be a frontline battle tank as it is hollywoodised as, and with the allies needing to develop tanks to take on the Tiger suddenly the other tanks of the German army were being out produced and out gunned in some regards, then allied air superiority also gave a new concern for the German heavy tanks, frankly when you need to develop a tank destroyer it spells the rest of the war out for you really. I apologize if any German armour enthusiasts are upset by my 'complete ignorance of the subject' but I have only given my opinion, it could be right, it could be wrong, but it's mine so I'll stand by it until given actual factual information that disproves it, not the opinion of someone else. The Tiger was a tank destroyer.

[@CHAlVlELEOlV]

I can agree to an extent, but you forgot one very important point, tank destroyers like the tiger were motionless hunters, picking off the victim from kms away. And no you mean before 1941, the Tiger was introduced in 1942

Barely any smoke from the engine, suspension rides like a dream, doesnt shovel massive amounts of dirt up with the tracks, hardly has any ground pressure in spite of weighing 56 ton. What a marvel of a tank. Then you watch a t-34 jumping around, seeing nothing from it's own diesel smoke and imagine the hot hell of fumes inside. Or a Centurion shoveling tonnes of dirty with it's poorly designed tracks.

[@jocar15]

In truth, the Centurion was almost an objectively superior design to the Tiger, and lacked many of the faults inherent in making your tank a giant, heavy, slow box with a gun mounted on top. Indeed, even the T-34/85 had far more longevity in its design than the Tiger did, not to even mention the Centurion.

[@beersmurff]

@@jocar15 No one said the Centurion was worse than the Tiger et al. But I have stood next to many a Centurion in my days, and believe me. It's a shovel when going through sand and dirt. The tracks on the Centurion was a major flaw and never designed correctly. And it was under gunned when introduced. Also, the Tiger wasnt slow. It was the fastest heavy tank of the time. Try pit it against the other heavy tanks of the time. Churchill, KV1, Char-1 bis and t-35. Tiger wins. T34-85 was a later design. hardly fair to compare it to the Tiger that was designed and in action way before. Also the T34-85 was a medium tank. Nothing you said changes the fact, that the Tiger was a marvel of a tank when it was first introduced and reigned supreme for almost a year. A year is an insane amount of time in a 6 year war. Sadly, they were expensive to produce, but then again, it was a heavy break through tank, and you dont want/need too many of those. And, before the WoT-kids start, no tank can win a war. You need soldiers, planes, ships and other weapons just as much. All they do is help in various degree, through numbers and/or quality :-)

[@jocar15]

@@beersmurff As a tank it was really not a marvel in any sense of the word, it had a thick armor plate and a large gun but in terms of other factors it was substantially behind. As for the Churchill, T-35, and Char tanks, those are also older vehicles than the Tiger itself, and were designed for different doctrinal roles. In terms of speed, the Tiger's engine was downrated in order to provide improved engine life that was quite abhorrent on earlier models. Lastly, the Centurion when first produced (i.e. the Mk. 3 & Mk. 5) were armed with the 20-Pdr gun, which was by no means under-gunned especially when its APDS ammunition reached mass-production. It could kill a T-54 quite easily and by no means did any German tank of WW2 really pose a challenge for this gun to penetrate. Even the behemoth that was the Konigstiger could be penetrated through the turret with such ammunition.
