Many people know About World War II, but none of the weapons of World War II can be said, it is almost the New Year, come and see the weapons of World War II!
This time about the ace tank of the Third Reich - the so-called strongest tank in World War II, the "Tiger Tank"!
Ordinary people should have heard of the German Tiger tank, very famous! The Soviet T34 and KV series, although not comparable, are relatively less famous. But many people say that the Tiger tank is actually a false appearance, or a vain name, right? Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Tiger tank.
Advantage 1: Powerful firepower, the most powerful tank gun in the early stage of World War II, 1000m to complete the explosion of Allied tanks, and the protection is extremely strong!
Advantage 2: advanced technology, the aiming system adopts the best aiming system of the German ZEISS World War II period, and the 2000mm range is no problem. The best range of the Soviet army is within 1000mm.
Disadvantage 1: expensive cost and ultra-long construction man-hours, the cost of the Tiger tank 25W mark is not to say that the sky-high price is almost the same, the construction man-time is 8 times that of the Soviet T-34, but the T34 and the Tiger in all aspects are comparable, this is the Soviet Union's invincible cost performance!
Con 2: Oil Tiger! Too short a trip, the fully loaded range of the fuel tank seems to be only 120-150km, which means that the campaign mobility of the Tiger tank is extremely poor, often need to be supplied, and the logistics will be scrapped once there is a problem.
Therefore, the Tiger tank looks very powerful individually, but because it is too difficult to produce, Germany only built less than 2,000 Tiger tanks in World War II, while the Soviet Union built about 100,000 T34 tanks like a cub, which is absolutely superior in quantity! That's why the Soviet Union was king on the ground.

Of course, the Soviet Union also introduced the super tank IS-2 in mid-1944 against the Tiger. But compared to the Tiger in the second half of 1942, it was more than 2 years late, but even so, in the end, the IS-2 also produced more than 3,000 vehicles, and the Tiger only had more than 1,000 vehicles and less than 2,000 units since 1942, which was really too low price-performance.

Recently, I became fascinated by the World War II card game "KARDS", the king of the work fish game. Not only fun, but also learn about World War II. Is it edutainment, killing two birds with one stone, haha.
