The Schwere Heeres Panzer Abteilung 501 arrived on the Eastern Front with only eight out of 45 tanks operational; these faults were mostly due to final drive failures. The first five Tiger IIs delivered to the Panzer Lehr Division broke down before they could be used in combat, and were destroyed to prevent capture.One problem with both the Tiger I and II was that they were so big relative to other German tanks, that the only vehicle that could tow a damaged Tiger was another Tiger. As the German armies retreated in the East and West, many of these behemoths were abandoned or blown up by their own crews.The verdict If one counts Tiger tanks versus the number of enemy tanks claimed destroyed by Tiger tanks, Tiger tanks killed 11.52 tanks for every one of their own destroyed in battle.
How many tiger tanks are left in the world : Today, only nine Tiger I tanks survive in museums and private collections worldwide. As of 2021, Tiger 131 (captured during the North Africa Campaign) at the UK's Tank Museum is the only example restored to running order.
How many Tiger 2 still exist
Of the ~500 Tiger IIs that were produced some 150 or so survived the war. Twenty or so were distributed amongst the allies for evaluation, and some were given to France and Switzerland for use in their armies. Nine Tiger II survive today, about 7 or 8 Tiger Is are still in existence.
Why was the Tiger 2 feared : Later models had anti-mine paint known as Zimmerit and in 1944 a Tiger II was developed with even more powerful armour and firepower, but was even heavier. It was a tank much feared by Allied troops; whether they were tank crews or infantry.
Even with the rapid upgrade of the 75 mm gun to the high-velocity 76 mm gun, the original Sherman was only capable of defeating the Tiger at close range or from the flank. In the first couple of years of action, mechanical failures proved deadlier to Tigers than combat action. [1] The Churchill's gun can only kill the Tiger II from the side or rear and at ranges of below about 500 m and over a limited arc. Hence, against the Tiger II, a Churchill is pretty similar to a Cromwell with arthritis!

Nine Tiger II survive today, about 7 or 8 Tiger Is are still in existence.The 17-pounder gun, mounted on the Sherman Firefly and some M10 tank destroyers, was the British answer to the Tiger problem and could effectively penetrate their armor. Over 2,000 were produced, while the 90 mm guns of the American M36 tank destroyer—later of the M26 Pershing—also demonstrated a capable counterthreat.Later models had anti-mine paint known as Zimmerit and in 1944 a Tiger II was developed with even more powerful armour and firepower, but was even heavier. It was a tank much feared by Allied troops; whether they were tank crews or infantry. If I remember right, some 900 Tiger I's were knocked out during WWII, and another 350 or so were abandoned. The day that Germany surrendered there were only some 40 or so Tiger I's that were serviceable. Of the ~500 Tiger IIs that were produced some 150 or so survived the war.
Is is 2 better than Tiger 2 : A Tiger II could hold around 80+ rounds, which is around 3 times the amount in an IS-2, and had a realistic fire rate of around 6 per minute, which is around double that of the IS-2.
Was the T-34 better than the panzer : German tank guns proved to be somewhat ineffective at greater range and within the lethality envelope of the F-34 tank gun used by the T-34 and KV-1. Generally, the T-34 outclassed the existing Panzer III and short-barreled Panzer IV medium tanks.
What was the scariest tank in WWII
Germany's Tiger tank, whether in the form of the Tiger I or later Tiger II (King Tiger), was the most feared tank of WWII. Even with the rapid upgrade of the 75 mm gun to the high-velocity 76 mm gun, the original Sherman was only capable of defeating the Tiger at close range or from the flank. In the first couple of years of action, mechanical failures proved deadlier to Tigers than combat action.[1] The Churchill's gun can only kill the Tiger II from the side or rear and at ranges of below about 500 m and over a limited arc. Hence, against the Tiger II, a Churchill is pretty similar to a Cromwell with arthritis!
What knocked out Tiger 131 : The most important strike, which is clearly visible today, saw a 6-pounder round scrape the underside of the Tiger's 88mm gun, before hitting the gun mantlet and lodging itself in the turret ring. This jammed the turret and effectively prevented the Tiger from fighting.
