Tiger Tank: A tank much feared by allied troops. When you discuss tanks of the Second World War, the first one most people think of is the Tiger tank. And the arrival of an actual Tiger on the battlefield could cause some panic, because the fear was it was almost impervious to most allied anti-tank weapons.Its main weakness was its Maybach engine which was underpowered when compared to the size of the vehicle. The Tigers wide tracks and Torsion bar suspension, however, provided for good cross country performance, but the overlapping wheel design proved a heavy maintenance overhead.The armour was 100mm thick at the front, making it impervious to Allied guns. Yet a shot from the 88mm gun could penetrate 100mm armour at ranges of up to 1,000 metres.
What could destroy a Tiger tank : 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.
Could a Churchill tank destroy a Tiger
In one encounter, on 21 April 1943, during the start of the Battle of Longstop Hill, a Churchill tank of the 48th Royal Tank Regiment got the better of a German Tiger I heavy tank. A 6 pounder shot from the Churchill lodged between the Tiger's turret and turret ring, jamming the turret and injuring the German crew.
Was the Tiger 1 a bad tank : 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II. While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design for its time, it has also been called overengineered, using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods.
The M3 90 mm cannon used as a towed anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun, and later mounted in the M36 tank destroyer and finally the late-war M26 Pershing, could penetrate the Tiger's front plate at a range of 1,000 m using standard ammunition, and from beyond 2,000 m when using HVAP. 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.
Could a Tiger tank beat an Abrams
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.[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!You'll see the tiger tank decimating lots of Sherman's with ease. However. If you look at the facts. You'll see why the tiger was considered much more effective. The German 88 millimeter gun fitted to For this reason the U.S army believed that the M4 would be adequate to win the war however Tiger 1 was a different Beast. The initial Sherman's 75 millimeter main gun lacks sufficient armor-piercing
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.
Could a T-34 beat a Tiger : If the T34 doesn't have APCR shells then the T34 will struggle to penetrate the Tiger at 2000 meters and the Tiger should easily win and only lose 1 tank. On the note of armor the T34 did only have 45mm on the frontal plate but the 60 degree angling means it has an effective thickness of 90mm.
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. During the Allied invasion of Sicily, small numbers of the M1A1 bazooka (using an improved rocket, the M6A1) were used in combat by U.S. forces. The M1A1 accounted for four medium German tanks and a heavy Tiger I, with the latter being knocked out by an improbable hit through the driver's vision slot.[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!
