Tiger 1 Heavy Tank
What is your favourite WWII tank?
When introduced in late 1942, the Tiger was the most formidable tank in the world, a reputation it retained until the end of the war. The main armament was the powerful 88mm gun, which could defeat 100mm of armour at 1,000m (3,280ft) range, while the Tiger's frontal armour was impervious to any Allied gun except suicidal short ranges. The Tiger guilt up a formidable reputation, one instance is recorded of a single Tiger holding of an entire Allied division, killing 25 tanks before it was finally stalked and defeated. 1,354 were built by August 1944.
