Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 1

Description
Tiger


There is no other tank in AFV history which has captured the popular imagination more than the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Sd.Kfz.181 of WW2. Nothing epitomises armored conflict to the general public like its massive structure on the battlefield. It is the one tank most people can name, even if they have little or no real interest in tanks.
From the early days of combat against this tank in WW2 until the present day, the fame of the Tiger spans, in equal amounts, its real development history, combat performance, and fandom. It is a tank with many flaws and one whose mystique, even back in WW2, was out of all proportion to its utility and service as a combat vehicle. Yet, despite its flaws and problems, the tank remains a potent symbol of WW2 and, for many, it is the tank which served as their introduction to the world of armored fighting vehicles. (def not copy paste from tank encyclopedia)

Probably one of the most overrated tanks in my opinion, It had a lot of problems, mostly cause of weight.
The armor of the tiger wasn't really that much too and tanks like all version of the Sherman 76, Sherman firefly t-34-85 and some others could pierce the frontal armor.
Only around 1300 of these tanks were made and only around 300 were actually operative at the same time.
It featured an 88 mm cannon some machine guns and in the tiger E variant a machine gun on the roof(I might be wrong on this one, so correct me if that's the case)
