No, a WWII Tiger Tank Can't Destroy an Abrams, Armchair War Historian Explains Why. The German Tiger tank of Second World War fame is a machine wrapped in a mythos far stronger and less brittle than the 100mm front armor plating the tank drove into battle wearing.In 1944, the best tank in the world—at least on paper—was the Panzerkampfwagen V. The Panzer V, also known as the Panther, was a direct response to the T-34 tank. The 44-ton tank was exceptionally well armored, in part due to sloped armor copied from the T-34.The Second World War saw armoured clashes on a scale never seen before or since. Tanks were a significant factor in most of the main fighting theatres, from North Africa to Russia and northern France. They featured in some of the critical battles of the war, such as El Alamein in 1942 and Kursk in 1943.
What killed most tanks in WWII : What destroyed the most tanks in WW2 Anti-tank guns. Contrary to some belief, field guns were responsible for a much larger loss of armor than tanks did so to each other. They were smaller, didn't need fuel and could be concealed almost anywhere.
Who would win T34 vs Tiger
A T-34 facing up against a Heavy Tank the Tiger II the tiger wins automatically there is no possible way a T34 can penetrate it's 184mm turret armor and a sloped frontal armor of the heavy. The Soviet T34 didn't do so well against less powerful Tiger I and Panther tanks.
Could a king Tiger penetrate an Abrams : The Abrams, every single time. The Tiger's 88mm shell cannot penetrate 1300mm of composite armor meant for HEAT rounds. Even if the tiger fires point blank at about 100 feet range, the M1 can stand still, absorbing shot after shot while the crew brew coffee.
Furthermore, due to the shape of the underlying tractor and undue vibrations, shooting from the tank was both difficult and inevitably inaccurate. These limitations have caused the Bob Semple Tank to frequently make lists of "Worst ever tanks".
When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 in) tank gun was more powerful than many of its contemporaries, and its 60-degree sloped armour provided good protection against anti-tank weapons. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design.
Why were British tanks so bad in WWII
Some were rushed into service too quickly and proved notoriously unreliable. Others spent too long in development, or only achieved a degree of usefulness after numerous modifications. Most lacked the armour to resist enemy anti-tank weapons, and nearly all were under-gunned.Bottom line, the German tanks could kill allied tanks from long ranges with very little difficulty, the reverse was absolutely not the case. Up close things evened out a bit but the german tanks still had the edge. Most German tanks were not destroyed by allied tanks – thats just a fact.The German tanks were tough, but there were never enough, their reliability issues kept them out of battles where they were needed, high fuel consumption often meant they retired early before battles were over.
The early tanks of Germany were inferior to many of their opponents' tanks in the areas of armor and firepower. However, in their tactical employment the German tanks dominated all rivals early in the war. Germany concentrated the tanks and the few infantry transport vehicles it had into Panzer divisions.
Could a T-34 destroy a Tiger : They were highly effective at destroying enemy Tigers. The Soviets also developed the 85 mm anti-tank gun, which was mounted on the ferociously mass-produced T-34s to form the T-34-85. Later came the SU-85, which could effectively knock out Tigers from a greater distance.
Can a T-34 destroy a Panther : When firing on the frontal armour of the Panther at an angle of 30 degrees sidewards, the T-34-85 could not penetrate its turret at 500 m (550 yd). This meant that the T-34 would have to resort to using tungsten rounds or firing on the weaker sides of the Panther to destroy it.
Can a Tiger 2 destroy a modern tank
How would the German WW2 Tiger tank fare against a modern tank, like the Abrams It would not even be a real fight. A Tiger tank would not survive even against a Korean War Tank like a M48 or T-55. It would be out gunned, out ranged, and out maneuvered.
