oh yeah another thing Otto Carius was the tiger king not Michael Whittman both were sucessful but Carius was better and he lived the war and wrote a book about his experiance in the tigers
ConfederateWill- Although the Tiger I and Tiger II tanks were damn neat, your research is rather flawed. Only 1,349 Tiger I tanks were produced from April, 1942 to August, 1944. In May-June, 1944 only 400 Tigers in TOTAL were available to Panzer units. See Doyle & Jentz -Germany's Tiger Tanks- & -Panzer Truppen...1943-1944-. These books are backed up by several other sources. At least 3 to 5 ACCURATE and reliable references should be consulted before forming an opinion...
So surviving the war makes you a better soldier? I think that Michael wittmanns tank action at bastogne has earned him the right to be considered equal to all other top tank commanders and that there's no need to get those commanders lined up on a ladder from good to best. especially when you consider that not all commanders had equal chances to get kills.. its the number of russian breakthroughs, the period of the war and the front that can make a lot of differences
for all the nay sayers the tigers was plenty fast the over-lapping roadwheels and torsion bar suspension helped it didnt matter if the turret turned slow you keep the frontal armor towards the enemy the fueling problems got worked out and it was the most fielded german tank from 42-45 more tigers were in action than pz4 or panthers go to achtung panzer websight they have the official numbers at any time at least 1200 tigers were in action
Hi BTpaintballer. Yep, armour on top of a tank is a lot thinner than anywhere else on a tank! bear in mind that the Spitfire was not the only plane tank killer of ww2. The Germans mounted 37mm guns on the stuka and it could take out a T34 with no problem what so ever! But then, the germans withdrew the 37mm PAK as early as late 1941 as it was obsolete!
i thought of something how come a spit fire can kill a tiger with 20mm guns even though a shermen can't even with a 75 mm gun is it the lighter amour on top ?
just 2 settle this NOTHING the allies had could kill a tiger 1 2 1. it took 5-7 shermans 2 kill a single tiger 1 and even more 2 kill Jagdtigers, Tiger 2's ang King Tigers
yeah i no i meant on the ground. i no the RAF could kill any armour with little effort not surprising when u got a Typhoon, 4 20mm cannon and 8 3-inch rockets.
it would be a different story if 2 or more flak panzer escorted the tigers ether that of if the Luftwaffe dint get almost wiped out then theres air cover
no a flak panzer would get shot up or rocketed str8 away as it would have been a threat 2 the fighters and P-47's/Hawker Typhoons/Hawker Tempests/Supermarine Spitfires (MK IX) were all superior 2 any Axis fighters in Normandy
Nazi's do suck, but the tank crews and infantry (most of) didnt fught 4 Hitler them fought 4 their home and families just like our boys. Only the SS and a small percentage of regular troops actually fought 4 Hitler
Tiger 2`s and King Tigers are the same by the way!!
and the Russian su152 werent called animal killers for nothing, along with the js2. Firefly could knock them out as well but needed to get first time hit or they were screwd.
In general the german tanks, Panthers,Tiger 1&2 were better armed, had thicker armour than the allies tanks. Whittman was asked what he feared most, on the eastern front he said JS2 and western he said RAF. Its good to see one of these running though I must admit
I am sorry Chinquecfro44 but with all due respect the M18 was no match for the Tiger. It is common Knowledge that The Americans would refuse to go up against Tigers without numerical superiority. If flanked the Tiger would be in trouble but a clever Commander, such as Whittman or Barkman knew how to prevent this!
the tiger is no match for the WWII U.S. M-18 Hellcat tank killer in many ways the M-18 can out run the tiger and its fire power is incredible plus they were more produced also not to forget about the M4 sherman although they were obsolete to the tiger and tiger ii their were still more of then than the german tanks
tiger eats M-18! even the 76mm cannon was not able to penatrate the front and side hull armour of the tiger...while the 88mm kwk could destroy the M-18 with ease
So wut if the tiger has got a bigger gun and better armor the tank is slow and very vulnerable at flanking movements compared to tank killers such as the M18 the Tiger is a sitting duck on the battlefield!
if the tiger crew was good trained it was nearly imposble to flank a tiger, the tiger crews knew that a frontal battle would be easy for the tiger, so they made sure that they could alway turn around
well that slow moving tiger can kill any other tank from 1000 meters far beyond the m-18s range truth be told most tigers were killed by fighter planes or where destroyed by there own crew due to out of gas or break downs
Music translated... "We drive these Tiger tanks... so beautifully built... we drive Tiger tanks... as our FATHERLAND is led astry... we build such machines... to server our leader... that paper hanging son of a bitch...
normanputz if your in a Challenger 2 or Leopard 2 all you would have to do is aim fire and it would be destroyed but i have to agree the Tiger and King tiger are good tanks.
i gota say if i was in a leopard 2 or challenger 2 i would still dread to come up against a tiger or king tiger. i bet they could still prove to be a pain in the butt these 60+year old titans
This is very good. At first I thought I was watching a silent movie until, panzerlied came on. The footage was also something inwhich some of it I had not seen before. Very welldone.
