@rdx506 Heh tell that to the Sherman tanker's who died so another Sherman could get behind the Tiger. Remember the saying that a Tiger could take 4 Sherman's on at once but there was always a 5th.

The 116th Panzer was far from being elite. The 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th were all much better and considered elite due to their combat records. The 116th was nothing special.

@117Jorn That Tiger was probably broken-down. Tigers had 26,000 different parts. it was poorly designed and poorly-built. They often broke down. Also, they were so heavy (56 tons) that they tore up the lousy secondary roads in the battle area, and were too heavy to cross most of the bridges. Once American tankers had a few weeks experience against the Germans, they learned to use the Sherman's greater speed to out-flank the Germans and hit them in the side and rear.

@fockwolf189 lolol.. its either they were asleep or too busy laughing at the sherman shooting at their tank.. or maybe the gunner himself was rolling on the turret floor laughing away..

@mickko3

Nevermind my suggestion , didnt know he shot at it when i wrote lol.

@mickko3

It could've possible be so that they thought it was a captured Sherman. The germans did capture a lot of equipment and if it was one single sherman completely alone that might've been the reason that they didn't fire.

[sakiLOVER]
