@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 I agree Jacon and will add the T-34 was the most pivotal weapon the Russians had to turn the tide. An exceptional design doing everything well that a tank was expected to do. It won the "greatest tank of all time" in a western documentary that took into account the immediacy of its need, the shock it gave to the enemy, the speed it could travel over rough terrain, not to mention the incredible speed it was deployed (often unpainted, unfinished), the sloping armor, even the short 76 was enough gun to fight back against the Panzers and win. But keep in mind that late in the war, the Soviet military leadership instructed its troops only to capture and use the IIIs and IVs and to leave the Tigers and Panthers where they were found because they were too unreliable (transmission, engine, suspension). Tiger II just wasn't practical; so many problems due to weight and fuel, it killed itself more than the enemy did.

Too big, too slow, too heavy, too error-prone, combat range that is a joke and very ressource intensive in it's construction and usage. The same you could say to a certain degree about the Tiger 1. But the Tiger one was still more than 10t lighter. Jesus these fuckers couldn't even cross the vast majority of the bridges in europe.

Personally, I think the Tiger 2's overall silhouette looks like something that could work as a modern tank. There was a model that fit a 105mm cannon at one point anyway. Though three glaring things that obviously need changing are the engine (switch it for diesel), a transmission that lasts longer than (from what I hear) 5kms and obviously ditching the overlapping road wheels and have just five or six wheels on either side.

The King (Tiger 2) in English. 490 built from 44-45 with about 10 remaining worldwide today. Another 7 or so Tiger 1's are around also. That 88 mm canon and two MG 34 machine guns...made this tank quite the defensive weapon. It could move also (40-45 kmh on good roads), but usually crawled along at 23-28 kmh. Simply stated it was the benchmark for heavy tanks. It was complex to build and very costly also. Thus, the limited numbers. One Tiger took out 22 T-34's and held back over 50. Another set of Tigers held back the whole American army invasion for a few hours in the Western front. Not one Tiger was ever taken out from the front, not one. Germany lost a lot due to poor maintenance and high maintenance schedules though, and it ate up 3 gallons per mile, a fuel hog. Simply the tank in that era until others caught up. The Russians and the British captured Tiger 1's and reversed engineered them effectively. The Tiger 2 manuals were written in "cartoon fashion" with scantly dressed women sketched throughout the manual to keep the mechanics and engineers...well, reading the manual.
@r.j.dunnill1465 Жыл бұрын
None of these are known to have been taken out from the front because there were almost none left by the time 90mm HVAP projectiles made their way to the front. Stateside, however, in firing tests, 90mm HVAP projectiles defeated Tiger II front plates. So, the notion that no Tiger II was ever frontally penetrated during the war is false.

Actually we have two King Tigers, a running Tiger I (the only one in the world) and a Jadgtiger in our national tank museum. Why you feel the need to pick on us when they were destroyed in vast numbers by other countries isn't clear - perhaps you would like to elaborate? If you are from the United States, your hypocrisy is breathtaking since the only King Tiger in your country is mothballed in a yard and not even on show to the public.

@@dickvansteijn4115The Panther was a sexy tank but actually shocking ineffevtive when you look at the combat reports. shermans ran rings around them in head to head mardhups.. Sure, they had that terrifying gun, but they could be killed from the front by an average Sherman if its gunner knew what he was doing, and the Sherman was built better -- more agile, easier to operate, made of better materials, and each crew station carefully optimized. In engagements between the Sherman and the Panther, real head to head engagements, the Sherman saw the Panther first 66% of the time, even when the Panther was lying in ambush. That meant that a lot of the paper deficiencies of the Sherman were negated by vastly superior crew initiative.

That story can't be verrified though. The Soviets lost countless of vehicles and tanks in Berlin, which is understandable considering the nature of urban warefare, where some anti tank weapon or even just a soldier with a Panzerfaust could stand around every corner, window or ruin. It would have been very surprising though, if the German army could even get enough rounds together to supply a Tiger 2 in Berlin with the necessary rounds to destroy 100 tanks. The Tiger 2 was a fearsome tank, but just like the Tiger 1 it was glorified and there are more myths than actuall facts floating around the internet.

@@yacinealg152 Not a mistake, a design decision based on real engineering considerations. Actual design work depends on more factors than just some notion about "more armor plate slope is the best". Try actually looking at the effective armor thickness presented at multiple angles of impact, and then look at how increasing the slope of a plate affects the interior space and layout (remember, the crew, final drive housing, etc., has to go somewhere)- then you are beginning to scratch the surface of what all goes into it. Not just making models of the outside however you want it to look.

Germans HAD time and materials, but should have not freeze armour development for almost TWO years (not that I complain...), start with Panther earlier on, iron out problems and go for "Uhu" variant with first primitive night vision. Long-barrel, long-round 76mm was quite adequate for blasting every tank of WW II anyway. What Germany lacked was, among other things, unified command in military and R&D, fuel ... not to mention several other factors.

Seventy years later, I know for a fact, the transmission and engines of these machines were being overstresseed and I'm quite a aware there were only a handful of King Tigers available at any one given time. Hoewever, that's no consolation to the young allied serviceman, who were unfortunate enough to meet these Monsters and weren't privvy to the knowledge we have now. Very frightening indeed.

The frontal armor of the KT is not known to have been defeated in combat by any Allied AT weapon, but it certainly was on the testing range. The U.S. shipped Stateside various captured German AFVs where Ordnance subjected them to firing tests. Ordnance concluded the T30E16 HVAP round would defeat the glacis out to 100 yards and the gun shield out to 800 yards.
