@ppqq66 the Tiger was actually stronger than almost every enemy tank in WW2, NOT ONLY SHERMANS.
also the Panther, Panzer IV G, Jagdpanther, Stug.... all of them were better than a weak Sherman. nothing special about it... and the Tiger II was the strongest tank of all in WW2.
@tanker1408 I once heard a german who served on panzers during the war say, 1 of our panzers is worth any 10 of what the enemy could throw at us, but they always had 11.
131 is an impressive piece of kit, though small against a challenger 2 MBT (modern British main battle tank) it dwarfs the allied tanks of WW2 (Sherman, Crusader, churchill etc). I have been VERY priviliged to have both been inside her, worked on her and also has a short ride in her (all of 20 feet, but best 20 feet of my life!)
The T-34 is roughly the same as a T-55 (it is ever so slightly longer and taller than the T-55 but is slightly shorter), in weight it is nearly 15 tonnes LIGHTER than the T-55 having thinner armour and a less powerful engine.
The Maybach was fixed to run correctly when the tiger was running in this video, previously it had been running incorrectly set up after the original restored engine had the con-rods blown out the side of the engine (i've seen the damaged ones... heck of a mess!)
how many real tiger tanks lay in swaps and such in europe cause there has to be more than 1 left out there

DERP DERP HEAVY TANK IS STRONGER THAN MEDIUM TANK
well NO SHIT.
The tiger was prone to mechanical failing anyways, billjesus is exxagerating, but he's right.

@tanker1408 learn your facts before insulting, thanks. The Tiger was a mechanical shithole.

i'm so surprised that the tiger made it that far without breaking down. if it was in a real battle, it would just stop after moving after 20 yards.

That Maybach V-12 is purring like a kitten. On some older vids, it sounds like it was backfiring and making popping sounds.
