	German King Tiger tank - development history and photos
		As with the Tiger tank, it was to mount an 88mm anti tank gun but the main gun on the Tiger II was far more powerful than that on the Tiger 1.

	sociology - Tiger I
		The Tiger I was in use until the German surrender and was given its nickname by Ferdinand Porsche.
		The failure to field a similar heavy tank was due in part to a powerful lobbying effort by the manufacturers of tank destroyers, German agents embedded within the U.S. government and military working against this, the shortcomings of the earlier M6 tank, and extensive delays in planned heavy tank development.
		In response to the Tiger, and in continuation of their earlier heavy tanks, the IS-2 with a 122 mm gun was eventually fielded.

	German Tiger tank - development history and photos
		E, the Tiger tank was the first tank to use animal names by the German army (such as Panther, Tiger, Elephant) as a propaganda tool to draw attention.

		The Tiger tank served in all fronts of the western, eastern, and African theatres where it proved to be a formidable tank.

		The front of the Tiger's gas tank is secured with a single 9mm bolt with a wide steel and rubber washer.

	Tiger I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the Panther tank, the design did not incorporate any of the innovations of the T-34: the deflection benefits of sloping armour were absent but the thickness and weight of the Tiger's armour made up for this.
		Tigers were capable of destroying their most common opponents, the American Sherman, or British Churchill IV at ranges exceeding 1,600 m.
		On 21 April 1943, a Tiger of the Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 504 with turret number 131 was captured after a fight with Churchill tanks of the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment in Tunisia on a hill called Djebel Djaffa.

		The gun is positioned down the centre line of the tank, whilst at the same time being offset to the right of the mantlet.

	Achtung Panzer! - Tiger I
		Tigers were also issued to a heavy company assigned to the panzer regiment of Grossdeutschland division and in turn, Grossdeutschland received complete heavy tank battalion.
		Tiger I was armed with powerful 88mm gun (originally developed from 88mm Flak 36 L/56 gun) that made it a very dangerous opponent for any Allied tank, and its thick (but not shot deflecting) armor made it virtually indestructible.
		Tiger's turret housed 88mm gun, which was offset to the right and was mounted on a turret ring with 185cm diameter.

	Saving Private Ryan: SdKfz 181 PzKpfw VI Tiger I tank
		Tanks such as the American M4 Sherman were enormously outmatched when pitted against the Tiger, and the Allies often relied on superior numbers in order to counter the offensive and defensive abilities of the Tiger.
		There is some criticism that the tank commanders are seen with their hatches open, thus exposing themselves to enemy fire, but this is actually a common way in which a tank commander would operate his vehicle, as it afforded him the best view of the battlefield.
		It looks like one of the tanks may have found its way to the United States, as one was reportedly used for a reenactment of the Battle of Carentan in Monterey, California by the World War II Research and Preservation Society.

	752nd Tank Battalion at Cecina
		However, the tanks were unable to follow the infantry across the Cecina River due to heavy weapons fire from the high ground to the east.
		Lieutenant Cox positioned his tank in that fashion to allow for a more rapid escape in the event that the Tiger approached from their rear and could not be successfully disabled.
		The Tiger crew believed Sherman 11 was hiding in the brush to its 11:00 position, thus explaining why the main gun is pointing away from the direction of the penetrating hit.

	tiger tank
		That article concluded that the Tiger was pretty much the queen of the battlefield and able to out perform the new technologies that the soviets had brought to the front in the form of the T-34 and KV-1 tanks.
		In the trial, by the end of turn 4 the Tiger was not harmed, the British had one unit with a step loss, demoralised and forced out of the hex, another was disrupted and the third was fine, as was the leader.
		The differential between the Tiger's gun and the armour value of the Sherman is substantial (+5), little wonder then that a single shot from the Tiger will quite often eliminate both steps of a Sherman tank, removing it from play at a stroke.

	Tiger Tank , King Tiger
		The gunless command tank was equipped with a winch for its secondary role of tank tow, a sign of the many technical problems that caused the loss of many German tanks.
		It was slower than other tanks and had a road range of just 100km, which was an increasing problem as Germany's fuel supply was decimated towards the end of the war, but in the battlefield its firepower and protection were unmatched.
		The design of the new tank, which was marked Tiger II and named King Tiger, was completed in late 1943, and production began in December 1943, initially together with the Tiger, and since August 1944 instead of the Tiger.

		The Tiger tank originated from developments started in 1937, when Henschel were instructed to design and construct a 30- to 33-ton tank prototype as possible successor to the PzKpfw IV.
		Designated VK4501, the intended vehicle was to mount a tank version of the 88mm gun, and the prototype should be ready in time for Hitler's birthday on 20 April 1942, when a demonstration was to be staged.
		The Tiger I was the first German combat tank to be fitted with overlapping road wheel suspension, arranged with triple overlapping and interleaved wheels of a steel disc type with solid rubber tyres.

		The King Tiger tank (also known as the Tiger II, Königstiger, and Royal Tiger) was far more than a highly modified Tiger I: it was a completely new vehicle that only shared a number of components with the late-production Tiger I tanks.
		The King Tiger's running gear was a similar interleaved road wheel design as Henschel had used for the Tiger I, and MAN used for the Panther.
		The King Tiger went into combat in early 1944, and just as with most Tiger I tanks, they were assigned to the schwere Panzer Abteilungen (Heavy Tank Battalions) of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

		Tigers were mechanically unreliable (as compared to the Soviet T-34 or US M4-Sherman), had a small radius of action (again in contrast to the aforementioned Allied tanks), and were so large that most terrain rendered them practically useless as breakthrough weapons for which they were manufactured, if less employed, according to Doctrine.
		In tank to tank combat, the Tigers were incredibly good at killing other tanks, reaching kill ratios up to 13:1 in many cases.
		The Tigers were very prone to breaking down (mostly because of their weight, which strained the entire mechanical system), could not cross most of the bridges in Europe, and had to be shipped by train to the battlefield (they would break down if they had to be driven for any great distance).

		Before I built the kit, I did quite a bit of research about real Tiger Tanks in order to find out what the proper colors were for the interior on the tank, what the uniforms looked like, etc. to make the build be as accurate as possible.
		The tank itself is fairly large - the body measures about 9.5"x6", not including the gun.
		I bought the 5 gallon tank off of ebay for $5.00, built a plywood platform for everything and connected the tank to the air compressor with a tee and a shut-off valve.

		The King Tiger was issued to SS Panzer Battalion 101 in the summer of 1944.
