Képgaléria egy PzKpfw HIV Tiger, A I. Tigris (Tigre) est un char d’assaut lourd allemand en service durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Le développement du tigris 1937-ben kezdődött, első bevonulása a keleti fronton, Leningrádban történt 1942. augusztus 29-én. A Tiger I ezután a legerősebb és páncélozott német harckocsivá vált, de nagy súlya (majdnem kétszerese a többi harckocsinak) hatással volt a mobilitására. Az elkötelezettsége során mechanikai problémákat fog tapasztalni, amelyek csökkentik a műveletekre gyakorolt hatását. Ez egy olyan tartály, amely összetettsége és költsége miatt csak 1350 példányt gyártott, mondhatni.

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.
