The real power of the Tiger wasn't it's armor , it was the gun. The 88 outperformed larger caliber guns the allies had , it was simply deadly

[@tjanderson5892]

Meh, idk about that. The 88 and similar self propelled guns had been seen in combat prior to the Tigers arrival. 88 was nasty, but the level of armor was never before seen. I'd say the armor is how you end up w/ maverick commanders like Whitman feeling bold up enough to engage entire baggage trains solo and come away unschathed even if the tanks eventually crapped out on em. Even tho they weren't invincible, that confidence and morale boost along w/ the fear imposed on the enemy was really Immeasurable

[@APOLON-bm7ym]

No, It was armor, gun AND CREWS. If it was just for the gun, Tiger2 with more powerfull 88 and with thicker armor would be more famous. But it wasnt. It was the men inside that made the difference.

Thank god you didn't talk about that 17pd gun the brits foam out the mouth about ..

[@TTTT-oc4eb]

The combination of a very accurate and powerful gun, excellent ammo quality (Panzergranate 39-1), and superb optics. On paper the KwK 36 was very similar to the late war US 90mm M3 in the M36 Jackson, but the high quality Panzergranate 39 ensured the German gun penetrated considerably more. In fact, it even penetrated slightly more armor than even the huge 122mm gun of the IS-2, which also was plagued with low quality armor.

The motors in the King Tigers were just too small since they were intended for the smaller tanks. I don't think the H man had intended on winning but was buying time for something much bigger and more important. The Germans were way ahead of everyone in every single way, and most historians often don't understand or acknowledge this. Excellent video! 👍🏻⚡️

[@0Turbox]

Which smaller tank? Tank engines are different, and you can't judge it just by the horsepower. The Tiger I was among the quickest tanks at the first 30 meters, because of the short gearing of it's first 3 gears. The mobility was also there. Sherman turning radius was 19 meters, while the Tiger I was just above 10 meters.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

You are pretty close since yes, all the German cats were under-powered from the get-go. The main cause of this was the designer's natural tendency to use an engine that was for all purposes, powerful enough for the tank's "original designed weight"! Because what happened to every one of the cats during the design phase, was on the first attempt to freeze the design just to finally get a tank into battle, everybody involved (especially Hitler himself) would immediately demand this or that new component simply MUST be included first regardless of the (invariably huge) weight penalty. So an engine that was adequate as designed was now under-powered! The King Tiger was the worst example of this, as it used the same engine as the Panther despite the fact that the KT weighed 20 tons more! Not only did this affect performance, it affected reliability too, as the engine that was merely marginal in a Panther was now seriously over-burdened under all conditions (and thus was certain to break down even faster than before!).

[@TTTT-oc4eb]

@@robertmaybeth3434 The Panther had a better power to weight ratio than any Sherman variant, and even the Tiger I had as good power to weight ratio as most Sherman variants. The Tiger II was clearly underpowered, but more powerful engines were under development when the factoriues were overrun in early 1945.

This is the first I’ve heard that Wittman wasn’t alone. Re writing history is not good. Wittman attacked first on his own and destroyed the armoured column on his own. When his Tiger was disabled he and his crew made it back to base on foot and this is where he gathered the supporting Tigers and went back to finish the job.

[@richardwales9674]

I'm fairly sure he was destroying Cromwells and not Churchills as well. The photo of the knocked out British tank is a Cromwell and that tallies.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Wittmann had 4 other Tigers supporting his action. While he did indeed go into Villers Bocage on his own, the other Tigers pinned down the leading British armour and troops on Point 213. Wittmann didn't return for the second battle at Villers Bocage. That was the 1st Kompanie under Rolf Mobius. After his Tiger was disabled, Wittmann made his way on foot 5 miles or so to the HQ of the Panzer Lehr division and did not return to the fighting that day.

[@evilstorm5954]

@ So he attacked the whole British Column on his own even in your misunderstood view. He shot the first tank in column to block forward movement, then shot the last to prevent retreat, then drove down the line and shot everything else. Remind me what the other Tigers were doing, and why they didn’t come to his assistance when his Tiger was immobilised forcing him and his crew to walk 5 miles to safety?

[@lyndoncmp5751]

​​@@evilstorm5954 My view isn't "misunderstood". It's historical fact. There were 6 Tigers there that morning. 1 had a dodgy engine. That left 5. Wittmann decided to go on his own into the town of Villers Bocage as he was ready and moving first. He instructed the other Tigers to support him by engaging and pinning down the forward section of the British column on Point 213. There were more tanks and vehicles to Wittmanns right, out of sight on the road in the distance. These he ordered his other Tigers to take care of, which they did. There were Cromwells and at least 1 Firefly knocked out by these other Tigers on point 213. Wittmann went left, while his other Tigers engaged to the right. Wittmann shot up the half tracks and light tanks before Villers then went into Villers and knocked out Cromwells and an OP Sherman. He knocked out 10-12 British tanks before and in Villers Bocage but the British also lost more tanks to the other Tigers up on Point 213. Wittmann went north on foot to the Panzer Lehr HQ. Across country. His other tanks were were to the south of the road and there were still British troops in between where Wittmann went off. Nothing the other Tigers could have done. Read Villers Bocage Through The Lens by Daniel Taylor.

Too few and too late,when Tiger tank came into service , Germany was just delaying the inevitable

[@robertmaybeth3434]

Yes and no, the Tiger first appeared near Leningrad in late 1942, due to conditions they were all knocked out one after another, so not a great start at first. The Tiger's next major engagements came in early 1943, when Hitler sent less than a dozen Tigers to Africa, in the vain hope of reversing Rommel's dwindling fortunes in a losing campaign. The Tiger could not be employed to its full potential in North Africa and so it had limited success, and was most notable as being the campaign where the Germans were forced to abandon one of the precious Tigers (the famous "Tiger 131" that still runs to this very day).

I find it interesting the Germans never designed, or only fielded in minute numbers, recovery vehicles capable of recovering their precious few heavy and super heavy tanks. I believe it was the Tiger I that crews were ordered not to attempt to recover another Tiger. None of the running gear was robust enough to handle it. They required dedicated recovery assets and instead they got ones 1/3 the required size and capacity.

IDK so much about that though, if anything, crewmen in a T-34 or even a Sherman were the ones at a major disadvantage in a tank fight! Saw an old German in some documentary explaining how he felt safe inside his Tiger especially since most enemies they faced at first, only had guns he called "door-knockers". The main gun on a T-34 or Sherman would routinely bounce off most of a Tiger's armor, only the occasional lucky hit, on the Tiger's rear could even slow it down.

[@joenowak6811]

In the memoirs of Heavy Tiger Tank Battalion 503 - at NO POINT were they afraid to go into battle against Soviet armor. Their biggest fear was becoming stuck in the mud or a disabled track in battle conditions. Tigers were not to fall intact into enemy hands. If disabled, the crew were to destroy the tank....

I believe they would have taken 10,000 T34/85 over the 1000 Tigers that Hitler built. Alternatively 30,000 StugIII's are the same price. I would go for 5k T34/85 and 15k Stug's instead of 1k Tigers.

[@TTTT-oc4eb]

Only for the very first few that were built. Once production got under way, "average" price was 250,000RM, about twice that of a Panther, which was a relatively "cheap" tank, costing only 10-15% more than a Panzer IV, or roughly on par with a late war M4A3. The Tiger cost roughly the same as heavy tanks from other countries, like the KV-1, IS-2, Churchill and M26 Pershing.

[@sthrich635]

The Germans weren't buying their Panzers from Amazon or eBay, the dollar/Reichsmark "saved" from the 1300+ Tigers wouldn't actually mean the Germans could have like 30k Stugs or T34s. Tank designs were really minor factors, Germany simply didn't have the superior industries of the Allies. The German leadership was smart on going for more powerful tanks that could also conserve crew manpower, plus less demand on fuel and logistic units with less panzers to work with. Not to mention late war German vehicle operational rate was at most 70% for all types of tanks/TDs, meaning they couldn't even run almost one-third of tanks they did have, what's the point building more that couldn't supported by German logistics and less able to survive in battles.
