Fotogalerie über einen PzKpfw HIV Tiger, Die Tiger I (Tigre) est un char d’assaut lourd allemand en service durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Le développement du Tiger 1937 begann sein erster Einsatz an der Ostfront in Leningrad am 29. August 1942. Der Tiger I wird dann der mächtigste und am stärksten gepanzerte deutsche Panzer, aber sein hohes Gewicht (fast doppelt so viel wie die anderen Panzer) hat Auswirkungen auf seine Mobilität. Während seines gesamten Engagements wird er mechanische Probleme haben, die seine Auswirkungen auf die Operationen beeinträchtigen. Es handelt sich um einen Panzer, der aufgrund seiner Komplexität und seiner Kosten nur in einer Auflage von 1 350 Exemplaren hergestellt wurde.

Armament and Protection
The Tiger I was built around its two most feared features: the high-velocity gun and its thick, almost vertical armor plating.
- Main Gun: The 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 (88 mm), an adaptation of the famous anti-aircraft gun. This gun could reliably penetrate any Allied tank from long ranges.
- Secondary Armament: Two 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns.
- Frontal Armor: Up to 100–120 mm (on the hull and turret), which was impervious to most Allied tank guns at typical engagement distances.
- Side and Rear Armor: Generally 80 mm thick. Crew training often involved “angling” the tank to increase the effective thickness of this armor.
Mobility and Operational Challenges
Despite its combat power, the Tiger I was mechanically complex and demanded extensive logistical support.
- Engine: Maybach HL230 P45 V-12 gasoline engine (700 horsepower).
- Speed: Road speed was approximately 38 km/h (24 mph).
- Complex Design: The intricate interleaved road wheel suspension provided a stable ride but was highly susceptible to mud and freezing in the Russian winter, and was difficult to maintain.
- Logistics Nightmare: Its great weight often led to breakdowns, especially with the transmission and final drive. The tank’s size complicated rail transport, requiring the tracks to be swapped out for narrower ones.
- Production Numbers: Due to its complexity and high resource cost, only about 1,350 were ever produced, a low number compared to Allied production.
