Pzkpfw VI

Tiger At the end of 1942 a new german tank entered in combat, the Operation Winter Storm was the first time. The Pzkpfw VIE was the heaviest and most powerfully armed production tank in the World.

Contemporary Allied weapons were ineffective at all but point blank range against its stout armor, while its dreaded 88mm gun could destroy almost any enemy tank at maximum range. It quickly gained a fearsome reputation and dominate the scene wherever it appeared until the advent of the Russian 122mm and 152 mm guns

Tigers were usually allotted to independent heavy panzer battalions, though certain favored panzer division eventually had their own Tiger companies. 1354 Pz VIE were built. Tigers crew were considered the creme de la creme of the panzer troops.
