Even though the German Panzerkamfwagen VI Tiger heavy tank saw its combat
introduction back in September 1942, it is still regarded as the worlds most
famous tank design to this day. Possessing a fearsome combination of firepower,
armoured protection and mobility, the 88mm gun mounted on the Tiger and its
excellent sighting optics allowed it to engage enemy armour at extreme ranges
and certainly well outside the range at which they could return fire.
Indeed, during the first Tiger engagements on the Eastern Front, the most
likely way that a Tiger would be destroyed was by the hands of its own crew, as
they were desperate to avoid the possibility of one of these magnificent
machines falling into the hands of the enemy. From the date of its introduction,
the Tiger was the tank against which all other tanks would be judged and large
numbers of Allied tanks and military vehicles would fall to its gun.
